• The B vitamins are the catalyst that converts
  food into fuel within the body. They keep your
  bodily functions moving along. Contrary to public
  opinion , you cant catch up on a nasty diet and
  boost energy by taking B vitamins. The Bs need
  food so as to make energy.
• Besides providing energy, each B has other
  functions. for instance , riboflavins
  antioxidant properties fight free radicals that
  cause cancer. Thiamine boosts immunity. Biotin
  promotes healthy hair, skin, and nails. B-6 helps
  protect heart health. vitamin Bc is vital for
  pregnant women because it prevents birth defects.
  Niacin raises good cholesterol levels. pantothen
  balances blood glucose . B-12 helps your systema
  nervosum function normally.

What signs indicate that i'd be B-complex vitamin
deficient?

• A traditional , healthy person is unlikely to
  develop a deficiency. However, it can occur in
  alcoholics, malnourished individuals, and in
  people with certain kidney diseases or
  gastrointestinal conditions like celiac or
  Crohns disease. Also, ongoing use of antacids
  and certain contraception pills can interfere
  with B-complex vitamin absorption. Prolonged
  stress also can drain your B reserves.
• The elderly are more likely to develop a B-12
  deficiency and anemia. Often, the confusion and
  forgetfulness related to a B-12 deficiency mimic
  Alzheimers disease, so its knowing check their
  B-12 levels.

• Depending on the vitamin or vitamin b complex
  gummies, other signs of deficiency may include
  fatigue, lowered immunity, pale skin, and
  irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath,
  dizziness, hair loss, and skin rashes.
• Vegans and vegetarians are now less likely to
  lack B-12, since numerous foods are now fortified
  with B-12, including foods marketed to those
  groups. Many nut milks are fortified with B-12
  and nutritional yeast, which is employed as a
  tasty condiment or ingredient, may be a rich
  source of B-12.

Can I be tested for B-complex vitamin deficiency?

• A biopsy will spot B-complex vitamin
  deficiencies, but its not included in routine
  blood work. If you've got specific concerns, you
  want to ask to be tested.
• What are the simplest food sources of B vitamins?
• It depends on the vitamin, but in general
• B-6 garbanzo beans, potatoes, bananas, fish,
  chicken
• B-9 (folic acid) fruits, leafy green vegetables
• B-12 Meat, eggs, milk, nutritional yeast

• Biotin Bananas, cauliflower, carrots, liver,
  salmon, soy flour, cereals, yeast
• Niacin cereal grains, milk, meat, tortillas,
  yeast
• Pantothenic acid avocados, rice , broccoli,
  beans (except green beans), cashews, eggs,
  lentils, peas, whole grains, lean meat, poultry,
  fish
• Riboflavin fruits, green leafy vegetables, whole
  grain cereals and breads, fish, meats, dairy
  products
• Thiamine beans, cauliflower, lentils, spinach,
  sunflower seeds, whole grain or enriched cereals,
  peas, nuts, beef, pork
• I could use an energy boost! what's your opinion
  of B-complex vitamin supplements and B-12
  injections?

Unless you're deficient, taking supplements or
shots doesnt provide extra benefit.

• If I eat a diet and take a daily multivitamin,
  will I generally get enough vitamin B? Since B
  vitamins are water-soluble, theres no danger of
  getting an excessive amount of those vitamins,
  right?
• Again, a well-rounded, healthy diet helps cover
  your nutritional needs. Some people that take
  excessive doses of B vitamins do experience
  problems. As a registered dietitian, I thoroughly
  assess each patient to understand what
  medications, supplements, or over-the-counter
  medicines they take and what health conditions
  they need . that gives an entire picture of the
  persons health and helps me tailor dietary and
  nutritional recommendations. it's going to seem
  reasonable to hunt vitamin advice at a food
  store, but without doing an entire assessment,
  store employees cannot understand each persons
  individual needs.

The Takeaway

• B vitamins convert food into energy and supply a
  number of health benefits, from helping your
  heart to calming your system nervosum . to urge
  the foremost bang for your buck, eat a
  well-balanced diet versus swallowing supplements.
  If you've got frequent skin rashes, hair loss,
  shortness of breath, confusion or fatigue, you'll
  want to request a biopsy for B-complex vitamin
  deficiency.
