Many clients ask us why do I need a b-complex? What is in b-complex? What does a b-complex do for me?  B’ is for Bodily Wellness! Your body needs B vitamins to thrive and survive. If your body isn’t getting the full spectrum of B vitamins every day, you could be susceptible to a B vitamin deficiency.  Eight B vitamins work together to keep your body running smoothly. These essential nutrients play a vital role in energy production, metabolism, cell growth and development, and nervous system function. The body cannot store these 8 water-soluble vitamins, so they must be replenished daily, and as we age, our bodies become less efficient at absorbing B vitamins from food. Adding a b-complex to your IV regime and throughout the month with supplement can help support your overall health goals.

Who is at Risk of vitamin B deficiency:

B vitamins work together to support overall health and well-being. Most people get enough B vitamins from their diet, but certain groups of people may be at increased risk of deficiency, including:

• People with certain medical conditions, such as alcoholism, celiac disease, and Crohn’s disease.
• People who follow restrictive diets, such as vegan or vegetarian diets.
• Older adults.
• Pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding.
• People who are not eating a well-balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables.

Symptoms of B vitamin deficiency can include fatigue, weakness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, weakened muscles and slow reflexes, and shakiness when walking or difficulty keeping balance. If you are concerned that you may not be getting enough B vitamins, talk to your doctor.

What do each of the B’s in the complex do?

• Thiamine (B1): Helps the body convert food into energy.
• Riboflavin (B2): Supports cell growth and repair.
• Niacin (B3): Helps regulate metabolism and blood sugar levels.
