B - Specific by PHP 60 Veggie Caps
The B Complex is a group of water soluble components which are biologically active in the functions of cell metabolism. These compounds are not synthesized by the body and must be supplied by the diet or by the microorganisms residing in the intestinal tract.
The B Complex is required for the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. The energy that a cell requires to maintain itself and perform normal functions is supplied by the oxidation of nutrients within the cell.
The B vitamin Complex catalyzes various chain reactions by acting as co enzymes for the release of energy. For example, niacin (vitamin B3) plays a key role in fifty metabolic reactions in glycolysis for the release of energy via the Krebs Cycle and the monophosphate shunt. Niacin is also involved with the de animation of amino acids, fatty acid oxidation, and steroid production. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of vitamin B therapy in stress management. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) deficient rats have been shown to have low adrenal function and poor motor control. Rats fed a diet low in pantothenic acid produced lowered catechol-amines and corticoid steroids.
This work suggests the importance of pantothenic acid in the support of the adrenal gland. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) function as a hydrogen transfer agent and as a coenzyme in a variety of energy reactions within the body. Riboflavin is also involved in the release of corticotrophin hormone from the pituitary gland. Folic acid is a co- factor for the synthesis of methionine and nucleic acids in the body. Clinical deficiency symptoms include miscarriages, anemia, gastrointestinal problems, tremors, and muscular atrophy.
