B vitamins are referred to as the "happy vitamins" -- the "cope-ability vitamins."
The most important thing to remember is that ALL 8 Essential B VITAMINS should be taken together in "COMPLEX" form and in the proper ratio. (You can throw your metabolism off by taking an isolated B vitamin…or ones that are out of balance.)
Research has shown that Folic Acid (a B Vitamin, and VERY important to health) is hard to break away from the tableting material….so Shaklee coated the B Complex with Folic Acid so that it is the 1st to be released - Shaklee’s Patent!
If a person is tired, irritable, nervous, depressed, or even suicidal, expect a vitamin B deficiency. B vitamins are destroyed by intense heat, slow cooking, light, baking soda and baking powder.
Extremely effective in alleviating PMS and Menopausal symptoms. (Calcium Magnesium will help with chocolate cravings during PMS, in addition to relieving muscle cramps, i.e., abdominal, leg, etc.)
Sugar, Alcohol, Caffeine and STRESS all destroy B vitamins.
People deficient in B vitamins quickly become anemic, are nervous, do not sleep well (insomnia), crave sweets, and have high cholesterol levels. A slight deficiency can cause abnormal heart action, constipation, and mental depression.
Acne or other skin problems indicate a lack of B vitamins.
B vitamins are necessary for normal functioning of the nervous system.
B-Complex is essential in calming hyperactivity in children with none of the side effects that medications produce.
B vitamins convert fats into energy.
Infection and stress increase need for B-Complex. Sulfa drugs, sleeping pills, and estrogen destroy B Vitamins.
B vitamins help boost the immune system.
Adequate amounts of B-Complex have been found to control migraine headaches and attacks of Meniere's Syndrome.
Massive dosages have been used to improve polio, cases of shingles, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (resulting from anesthesia).
B vitamins help with fatigue, skin disorders, cracks at the corner of the mouth and cracks in your cuticles, ridges in your nails, anemia, tender gums, hair loss, constipation, burning feet, burning and dry eyes.
B-Complex aids in digestion.
B-Complex is chiefly responsible for the health of the digestive tract, the skin, mouth, tongue, eyes, nerves, arteries, and liver.
B vitamins are water-soluble; thus, need to be taken through the day.
And of course the Folic Acid in the Balanced Shaklee B Complex decreases the risk in pregnancy of neurotube defects in the baby…that’s why prenatal vitamins are “prenatal”…so that the baby can have the Folic Acid in the very early pregnancy. Shaklee’s Vita Lea Multivitamin and B-Complex have been an excellent choice of prenatal vitamins for mothers for years!
B Vitamins are Normalizers:
If you are fatigued, they help to give you energy
If you are hyperactive, they help to calm you down
B Vitamins are mostly used or lost in 2-4 hours and need to be replaced to keep the blood levels up.
Most of us who take enough B's can tell the difference in our mood, energy and patience – this is helped quickly by taking 2 Shaklee B complex, three times a day.
(The last 2, not close to bedtime...because they may give you energy and you'll be vacuuming at midnight) However, when you become balanced, taking them right before bed can help to keep your blood sugar from being so low in the morning.
There are 8 essential B’s in Shaklee’s B complex, balanced and complete. You Need All Eight Bs
|
There are eight essential B vitamins, and they work best when they work together. Unfortunately, the typical Western diet doesn’t provide enough whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and fish needed to provide 100% of the Daily Value. Shaklee B-Complex provides all the B vitamins you may not be getting in your diet.
The eight B vitamins, including biotin, work to:
Promote healthy cardiovascular systems
Help metabolize energy from carbohydrates, fat, and protein
Aid in the synthesis of DNA and new cells
B Vitamins are needed by the:
Brain and Nervous System
Immune System
Skin
Hormones
B Vitamins are used up:
whenever we evoke the stress response
anytime we eat...
white flour
sugar
caffeine
alcohol
Just to metabolize these foods, we burn up B's
Why Do You Need Vitamin B?
Vitamin B6 and B12’s job is to help support adrenal function, help calm and maintain a healthy nervous system, and is necessary for key metabolic processes that keep our bodies functioning smoothly.
Vitamin B6 also is key in the breakdown and utilization of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Not getting enough Vitamin B6 can lead to dermatitis, cracked and sore lips, inflamed tongue and mouth, confusion, depression and even insomnia.
Vitamin B12 benefits are vital to the development and maintenance of red blood cells, nerve cells, and normal myelination (covering) of nerve cells. It also aids in the production of DNA, RNA, and neurotransmitters.
Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to fatigue, muscle weakness, shortness of breath, dizziness, numbness, heart palpitations, bleeding gums and mouth sores, nausea, poor appetite, and diarrhea.
A lot of these symptoms can come on gradually until they are affecting your daily life. Getting enough of Vitamin B is key to good health in so many areas!
How Do I Get Enough Vitamin B?
A balanced diet that includes brewer’s yeast, bananas, cereal grains, legumes, vegetables (especially carrots, spinach and peas), potatoes, milk, cheese, eggs, fish and sunflower seeds is a great way to get Vitamin B6 naturally.
The best sources for Vitamin B12 comes from animal-derived foods, including dairy products, eggs, meat, fish, poultry, and shellfish.
Do Supplements Help?
Yes! Supplements DO help you get enough Vitamin B to combat the deficiency symptoms and help you feel your best!
Seriously, no one, in this stressful world gets enough B-Complex from their food! Heidi Carlstedt
