The B-Complex of vitamins is a group of twelve substances which work closely together. Eight are essential vitamins (must be obtained through the diet) and include Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Pyroxidine (B6), Biotin (B7), Folic Acid (B9), and Cobalamin (B12). There is some debate over whether or not Biotin is actually a vitamin. The non-essential elements can be made by the body and include Inositol, PABA, Choline, and Lipoic Acid. Vitabase B-Complex includes all the components except Lipoic Acid.

The B-Complex of vitamins work together to accomplish many tasks in the body. Often a deficiency of one B-vitamin means there is a deficiency in others. Among its many roles, the B-Complex:

•  Maintains nerve cell coverings preventing a number of neurological problems
•  Is central to energy production utilizing nutrients in the diet
• Reduces birth defects
• Maintains healthy red blood cells       
• Supports immune function
• Regulates cell growth
• Aids in hormone production
• Helps maintain healthy hair, skin and nails
• Reduces levels of homocysteine, a key marker for heart disease (Folic Acid, B6 and B12 work together)

Individually the elements have their own unique contribution to health. For example, niacin can contribute to lower cholesterol levels, while B6 has a calming effect on the nervous system. The brain relies on thiamine’s role of converting glucose to energy to function properly and pantothenic acid is necessary for proper growth and development. Many other potential benefits are associated with the B-complex.
