Description
A lack of various B vitamins can lead to nervous system, skin, mental or even digestive problems. Inadequate and unbalanced diets are basically to blame. However, it may also be due to certain gastrointestinal problems or age, or it may be more difficult to absorb due to old age, which can also lead to a deficiency. The B vitamin family is closely related and it is rare that only one type of B vitamin is deficient. This is why B vitamins are available in complex formulations.
HillVital B-complex contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12. This means that with one capsule a day, all the B vitamin families can be obtained.
Recommended Use: 1 tablet between meals with plenty of water or other liquid.
Why are these vitamins responsible?
Vitamin B1
Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is essential for the proper functioning of nerve cells and muscles. It plays a key role in metabolic processes and is a component of the enzyme that ensures carbohydrate metabolism. In its absence, it can cause loss of appetite, nausea, or even weakness and muscle weakness.
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is also produced by the human intestinal flora. Its deficiency occurs only in rare cases, so it is almost exclusively used as a component of vitamin complexes. It contributes to the breakdown of fatty acids, the integrity of mucous membranes and the metabolism of carbohydrates. In the event of a deficiency, it can also cause inflammation of the skin, cracked lips and the mucous membranes of the mouth.
Vitamin B3
Vitamin B3, also known as niacin or nicotinic acid, helps the body to get energy from carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It can also be produced by the body and taken in with food. However, it is very poorly absorbed. If it is deficient, it can cause nervous system problems, diarrhoea and even skin irritation.
Vitamin B5
Vitamin B5, or more specifically pantothenic acid, is also involved in the breakdown of fats, the production of sex hormones, energy production and stress reduction.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is involved in the metabolism of amino acids and the breakdown of proteins. It also regulates the function of nerve cells and epithelial tissues. Certain antibiotics and medicines used for cardiovascular complaints may reduce the effect of vitamin B6. Deficiencies can lead to anaemia, weak immune system, skin problems, especially in the face, and even seizures, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Vitamin B7
It can be called vitamin B7, biotin or even vitamin H. It plays an important role as a component of enzymes involved in metabolism. The body is able to produce it at a high level, so it rarely needs to be replaced. It is also largely found as a member of vitamin complexes. Deficiencies can lead to eczema-like complaints, loss of appetite, fatigue, anaemia and general depression.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is essential for the formation of red blood cells. Deficiencies can lead to more severe anaemia, gastrointestinal problems and nervous system disorders.
Folic acid (Vitamin B9)
Folic acid is involved in many chemical and biological processes. Among other things, it is involved in haematopoiesis and nucleic acid metabolism. In addition, adequate folic acid supply is essential for healthy fetal development. A lack of folic acid can lead to anaemia, forgetfulness, loss of physical strength, fatigue, mood swings and a weak immune system.
