Health Benefits of B Vitamins:  They help the body to convert fuel into energy and also play a major role in a number of other essential functions. B complex vitamins are vital for helping your body to use fats and proteins efficiently as well as keeping your digestion, heart, skin, joints and nervous system healthy and fully operational.

Brain Health – Maintain Cognitive Function

Maintaining cognitive function, motivation and mood as well as reducing the likelihood of suffering from Alzheimer’s requires a good mix of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), B12, B3, B1 and folic acid. Advances in research have identified that these particular B vitamins are the key to helping slow the rate of cognitive decline and prevent depression.

Studies have established that the health and function of neurotransmitters are dependent on vitamin B12, which preserves the myelin sheath around the nerves. Once this diminishes your nervous system isn’t able to send and receive the message so efficiently – consequently, concentration, memory and motor skills suffer.

Cardiovascular Health – Prevent Heart Disease

Increasingly research is identifying that high plasma homocysteine levels are an important indicator for the risk of cardiovascular disease. Maintaining healthy homocysteine levels is essential for reducing these risks.

Concentrations of homocysteine are largely determined by the body’s levels of B vitamins (B6, B12, and folic acid). In addition to this vitamin B5 is thought to reduce fats in the blood, helping to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol.

Help With Stress and Anxiety

The B vitamins are vital cofactors for specific enzymes involved in the production of adrenal hormones. These hormones regulate many processes in your body as well as help you to adapt to stress and cope with anxiety.

Your adrenal response to stress causes the metabolism of your cells to speed up, increasing the amount of nutrients needed, which can lead to deficiencies. According to research, chronic stress depletes vitamin B6, so supplementing to maintain healthy levels could be of help therapeutically.  Read full story… abundanceandhealth.co.uk
