Moderate Potency B complex

WHY CHOOSE A MODERATE POTENCY B-COMPLEX?

The B family of vitamins consists of eight essential water-soluble vitamins that are critical to health and play a role in several key functions inside the body such as, supporting metabolism and enabling the body to metabolize nutrients from fats and carbohydrates and extract amino acids from protein to support energy production.

Given their tremendous importance to health, getting an adequate and regular amount of all of the B vitamins is an important part of preventative care. In fact, research has shown a clear association between B vitamin deficiencies and the development of a variety of symptoms and health conditions including anemia, mood disorders, fatigue, lack of stress resilience, mouth sores, gastrointestinal problems (constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc.), numbness and tingling in the extremities, balance & coordination problems, and cognitive decline.

Foods rich in B vitamins include; whole grains, fish, meat, and poultry, eggs and dairy products, legumes, seeds and nuts, dark, leafy vegetables, as well as citrus fruits, avocados, and bananas. They are also frequently added to multivitamin formulas, as well as can be found in B-complexes of varying potencies, the most common being 25, 50, and 100 mg. More moderate potency B-complex blends, providing single-digits of most of the B’s, are also widely available.

WHO NEEDS A MODERATE POTENCY B-COMPLEX?

B-complex formulas are among some of the most popular nutritional supplements and offer very substantial health benefits. While a 25, 50, or even 100 mg B complex can be used by the majority of people, some people may benefit from a more moderate potency B complex. Indeed, those with hypokalemia (low amount of potassium in the blood), inflammatory GI conditions, part or complete removal of the stomach, as well as Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy. A lower potency B complex is ideal for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and may also be best for those with liver or kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular conditions. In such instances, speak to your health care provider to find out the best dose for you.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF A MODERATE POTENCY B-COMPLEX

Because B vitamins are frequently added to multivitamins, "stress support formulas", and pre-exercise blends, so it's important to always read labels carefully to fully appreciate how many total B’s you'll be taking in.

Except for vitamin B12, all of the other eight essential B vitamins are water-soluble; meaning that they cannot be stored inside the liver and fatty tissue to be used at a later time. As such, a more moderate potency B complex may be a wise idea because it allows you to divide your total daily dose throughout the day, for a more consistent supply of essential nutrients.
