Synergy B is a factor in the maintenance of good health, helping to support liver function, promote relaxation and helping the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Synergy B is an innovative vitamin B complex that delivers the complete spectrum of B vitamins in preferred forms, plus contains an impressive 200mg of L-theanine daily.

L-theanine is an amino acid found in green tea leaves (camellia sinensis) that produces physical and mental relaxation without a sedating effect.

Synergy B contains all natural spirulina, a blue green algae which supplies a rich whole food source of phytonutrients, carotene and B vitamins. This combination of an essential B complex formulation merged with L-theanine and spirulina, offers an excellent synergy of nutrients to nourish and support the body and simultaneously, relax the mind.

Detailed Ingredient Description:

L-theanine is a unique amino acid present in the tea plant (camellia sinensis). L-theanine increases dopamine and serotonin production and alpha brain wave activity, a sign of induced relaxation. L-theanine may help relieve stress by inducing a relaxing effect without drowsiness and may also possess immune boosting attributes. L-theanine may also have effects on the cardiovascular system and play a potential preventative role in abnormal cell growth, however further research needs to be conducted before a conclusion can be drawn.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine Hcl) was the first B vitamin to be discovered. Like all B vitamins, thiamine aids the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins however, in particular, thiamine is required for the body to form adenosine triphosphate (AtP), which every cell of the body uses for energy. Although thiamine deficiency is rare, it can occur in people who get most of their calories from a high sugar diet and/or consume excess alcohol.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin-5-phosphate) is unique because it can act as a antioxidant. Riboflavin is also needed to help the body convert vitamin B6 and folate into active forms. it is also important for body growth and red blood cell production.

Vitamin B3 (niacin) is also known as nicotinic acid. Niacin functions as part of two important coenzymes, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide NAd and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAdP). These coenzymes play an important role in the redox reactions in the body (the process by which cells "burn" calories in order to release energy) and are also involved in the synthesis of fatty acids.

Vitamin B5 (calcium d-pantothenate) all B vitamins help the body convert carbohydrates, proteins and fats into fuel (glucose) which is "burned" to produce energy. In particular, vitamin B5 is important for the production of coenzyme A (coA), an acyl carrier protein, which is important in the utilization of fats and carbohydrates in energy production. Pantothenic acid is also important for adrenal function.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) is a vitamin that is important in the production of neurotransmitters and hormones such as serotonin (which influence mood) and melatonin (which helps regulate the sleep/wake cycle). Vitamin B6 also works in combination with vitamin B12 and folate to help decrease homocysteine (an amino acid in the blood that may be associated with an increase in Alzheimer's disease and heart disease). B6 is also necessary for proper absorption of vitamin B12, hormonal balance and for the production of red blood cells.

Vitamin B7 (biotin) also known as vitamin H, is important in the health of skin, hair and nails. it is also important in the development of the embyro during pregnancy.

Vitamin B9 (folate or folic acid) is an important B vitamin for normal tissue and cell growth and it is essential for proper cell/dNA replication. Folate is especially important during pregnancy to prevent birth defects such as spina bifida. Folate works with B12 in the production of red bloods cells. A folate deficiency can cause anemia.

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) is important in maintaining healthy nerve cells, and for production of dNA and rNA. It works closely with vitamin B9 (folate) to regulate the formation of red blood cells and aid in the proper absorption and function of iron in the body.

Choline is an important B vitamin that is found in every human cell but mostly concentrated in the liver and pancreas. Choline is important for healthy cells as it is a key component of the lipid layer of cell membranes and it serves to ensure the flexibility and integrity of the cell membranes. Choline is also a key component of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the nervous system. Choline is known as a lipotropic factor. Lipotropic factors are substances that help export fat from the liver, which is important for proper liver function to prevent fatty deposits.

Inositol functions closely with choline in maintaining the health of cell membranes. it also has lipotropic effects.

Spirulina is a type of microscopic blue-green algae that is rich in proteins, vitamins and essential amino acids.

Combination Rationale:
CanPrev's Synergy B vitamin B complex is comprised of a full spectrum of B vitamins and l-theanine to support energy production, stress reduction and healthy liver and nervous system function. All B vitamins are water-soluble, meaning that the body does not store them. Supplementation is necessary as B vitamins are so important for so many vital functions in the body including the development of healthy cells for hair, skin, nails and red blood cells. B vitamins are also involved in the metabolism of food into energy and the production of various hormones and neurotransmitters. B vitamins are often referred to as "anti-stress" vitamins as they are involved in the production of various stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands.

Synergy B contains an impressive 200mg daily dose of l-theanine for added stress re- duction, to promote relaxation and to further improve sleep quality. Spirulina has been added to the formula as an additional source of natural vitamin B and to avoid the need for artificial fillers.

B vitamins work so closely with one another that a deficiency in any one B vitamin can lead to poor functioning of any or all of the others. Synergy B provides a complete range of B vitamins.
