  • B Complex

    In many cases, you have to eat foods rich in the B group to get the benefit. Studies have shown that adding a supplement alone does not reduce risk of pancreatic cancer for example, while a natural dietary source does provide that potential.

    Some potential benefits of B Complex may include raising metabolism, which can help with weight loss. B complex can also help with maintaining skin and muscle tissue, and help people better fight off illnesses by boosting the immune system.

    There’s been much talk about how B Complex may help promote calmer mood, make you more capable of handling stress, and may slightly reduce the risk of heart disease, possibly due to the complex’s ability to affect mood and stress. People who suffer from mood disorders or premenstrual dysmorphic disorder, may benefit from adding B complex to their diets in combination with medication and therapy to treat these conditions.

    Vitamin B1 (thiamine): The brain uses this vitamin to help convert glucose (blood sugar) into fuel, and without it the brain rapidly runs out of energy. This can lead to fatigue, depression, irritability, anxiety, and even thoughts of suicide. Deficiencies can also cause memory problems, loss of appetite, insomnia, and gastrointestinal disorders.
    Vitamin B3 (niacin): Pellagra – which produces psychosis and dementia, among other symptoms – was eventually found to be caused by niacin deficiency. Many commercial food products now contain niacin, and pellagra has virtually disappeared. However, subclinical deficiencies of vitamin B3 can produce agitation and anxiety, as well as mental and physical slowness.
