Vitamin B Complex is needed for the proper functioning of almost every process in the body.
B complex are crucial for energy production
Vitamin
B1 is needed to help convert the carbohydrates we eat into glucose. The
following B Vitamins are needed at a cellular level to convert glucose
into energy - Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6 and
Biotin. A Vitamin B deficiency in any of these vitamins can lead to
decreased energy production, lethargy and fatigue.
The
Vitamin B Complex is also essential for correct digestion, production
of HCl (Hydrochloric acid) and to assist in the breakdown of fats,
proteins and carbohydrates. Especially vital for good digestion are
Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B6. A deficiency in any
of these B Vitamins can lead to impaired digestion and deficiency of
essential nutrients.
ThÂe
B-complex vitamins are found in brewer's yeast, liver, whole-grain
cereals, rice, nuts, milk, eggs, meats, fish, fruits, leafy green
vegetables and many other foods. They are also available as tablets,
gels, liquids, or injections. B Vitamins are water-soluble. It is a
good idea to emphasis on food to obtain your dietary needs. However,
there are cases when supplemental B complex is recommended. Examples
are when there is suboptimal digestion or when the body is under
excessive stress. When the body is under excessive stress, B complex
usage is much higher and thus the demand will be greater.
When
indicated, B complex injections are most useful for fatigue caused due
to nerve damage, diabetes, sciatica, tinnitus, effects of stress,
chronic disease, and a number of other conditions. The best among all
the B vitamin injections is the Vitamin B-Complex 100 Injection. This
is a sterile solution for intramuscular injection with a blend of all B
vitamins. One
ml of this B complex 100 injection contains 100 mg of thiamine, 5 mg of
riboflavin, 2 mg of pyridoxine, 2 mg of pantothenic acid and 100 mg of
niacin.
