La importancia de la vitamina B

The importance of vitamin B

The B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12) are essential for numerous bodily processes, including energy metabolism, nervous system function, red blood cell formation, healthy skin, hair, and mucous membranes, and psychological function. A deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, memory problems, digestive and cardiovascular disorders, among other issues. They are found in foods such as eggs, fish, meat, dairy products, legumes, and leafy green vegetables, although supplements may be necessary in cases of restricted diets, stress, pregnancy, intense exercise, or when habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption are prevalent. Longevitas Labs' B Complex provides all the B vitamins in high, recommended doses, helping to reduce tiredness, strengthen the immune system, and maintain essential bodily functions.
