B-Vitamins: their discovery put an end to a wretched history of deficiency diseases.
B-vitamins are essential components of numerous key enzyme systems, without which the body cannot function. Each B-vitamin fills a different, complementary need, which is why they should usually be taken together. B-vitamins act as coenzymes to catalyze numerous biochemical reactions, aid in energy production, blood cell formation, fat and protein/amino acid metabolism, and are important for the normal functioning of the nervous system.
B-vitamin supplements have been used for decades to correct dietary deficiencies that impair the body’s ability to produce energy from sugars and fats, and to synthesize substances that the body needs, such as DNA, neurotransmitters, and cell membranes.
