Share with Friends SAVE MORE With LuckyRewards FREE SHIPPINGORDERS OVER $49* New Products Categories Brands Concerns Rewards LuckyBlog SPECIALS A B-complex vitamin is a vital nutrient that contains all of the water-soluble vitamins. This includes the following eight B-vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12. These B-vitamins are essential to overall well-being and good health. They play key roles in growth, development, maintaining normal function in nerve and muscle cells; as well as many other body-wide processes. One last important role of all B vitamins is in aiding the body to convert food such as carbohydrates into glucose, the main energy source for the body. While B-vitamins are best obtained from food sources, some dietary restrictions like vegan diets can cause you to become deficient in certain B- vitamins, requiring supplementation to prevent deficiency. When shopping for your B-vitamin it is important that you read the ingredients label to find what forms of B-vitamins are being used. Look for the active form whenever possible. The active forms can be found in the chart above. Because B-vitamins are water-soluble and although the body can store some of the B vitamins, once they are absorbed and used they get excreted. This may cause your urine to be yellower than normal. Niacin has a potential for flushing. If you experience flushing discontinue your B-Complex.
