DESCRIPTION
The B vitamins help to maintain the health of the nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver, and mouth, as well as healthy muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract and proper brain function. B complex vitamins are coenzymes involved in energy production, and may be useful for alleviating depression or anxiety. Adequate intake of the B vitamins is very important for elderly people because these nutrients are not as well absorbed as we age. There have even been cases of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease whose problems were later found to be due to a deficiency of vitamin B-12 and the B complex. The B vitamins should always be taken together, but up to two or three times more of one B vitamin than another can be taken for a particular disorder. Although the B vitamins are a team, they are also discussed separately.
A high-quality vitamin B complex supplement will provide, in one convenient pill, a full range of B vitamins, including biotin, choline, folic acid, inositol, PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid), and the six "numbered" B vitamins - vitamin B-1 (thiamin), B-2 (riboflavin), B-3 (niacin), B-5 (pantothenic acid), B-6 (pyridoxine), and B-12 (cyanocobalamin). Combination products can simplify the process of taking individual B vitamins for a range of ailments including alcoholism, depression, diabetes, hair problems, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and stress.
Vitamin B-complex products are generally available in two forms: B-50s and B-100s. In a B-50 complex, look for a minimum of the following: 400 mcg folic acid, 50 mcg B-12 and biotin, and at least 50 mg of all the other B vitamins. Generally twice this amount is found in B-100 complexes, except for the folic acid (400 mcg), which remains the same. A B-100 typically contains 100 mcg B-12 and biotin, and 100 mg of all the other B vitamins.
While convenient, combination B vitamin products can produce an unpleasantly strong vitamin-like odor and cause queasiness if taken on an empty stomach. To minimize these side effects and enhance absorption, take this vitamin pill with food. A bright yellow hue to the urine following a B-complex vitamin is a harmless side effect of the riboflavin (B-2).
