Co-Enzyme B-Complex - 60 Veg caps

The Importance of B-Complex Vitamins And Why Coenzymated Is Best

Vitamins are essential for our bodies to function properly. They help with everything from energy production to blood cell synthesis to nervous system function. B-complex vitamins, in particular, play a key role in many of the body's biochemical processes. However, the forms of B vitamins found in foods and most supplements need to be converted into their active forms before they can perform their functions. That's why NOW Co-Enzyme B-Complex is so important. It contains B vitamins in their active or "co-enzyme" forms, so your body can immediately use them.

What are B-Complex Vitamins?

B-complex vitamins are a group of water soluble vitamins that play an important role in many of the body's biochemical processes. There are eight vitamins in the B-complex group: thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin (vitamin H), folic acid (vitamin B9) and cobalamin (vitamin B12). These vitamins are found in a variety of foods, including meat, poultry, fish, nuts, leafy green vegetables and fortified grains and cereals.

While all of the vitamins in the B-complex group are important, some play a more significant role than others. For example, thiamine is needed for energy production, while folic acid is necessary for proper blood cell formation. Vitamin B12 is particularly important for healthy nervous system function. Regardless of their specific roles, however, all of the B vitamins are essential for good health.

How Do Co-Enzyme Forms Work?

As we mentioned earlier, the forms of vitamin B found in food and most supplements need to be converted into their active or "co-enzyme" forms before they can be used by the body. This process usually takes place in the liver. However, certain factors—including age, alcohol consumption and certain medications—can impair liver function and prevent proper conversion from taking place.

Co-enzymated vitamin B supplements bypass this issue by providing the body with vitamins that are already in their active form. This ensures that the vitamins are immediately available for use by the body and can performing their intended functions without delay.

Vitamins are essential nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. While all vitamins are important, B-complex vitamins play a key role in many of the body's biochemical processes. However, the forms of these vitamins found in food and most supplements need to be converted into their active forms before they can be used by the body. Co-enzymated vitamin B supplements provide the body with these vitamins in their active form so they can be immediately used by the body for energy production, blood cell synthesis, nervous system function--and countless other vital processes!
