I take a Vitamin B Complex supplement every day. It’s a great vitamin to take because it helps to provide:

1. Energy Production
2. Healthy Skin, Hair and Nails
3. Healthy Digestion
4. Healthy Nervous System Function

There are lots of different kinds of Vitamin B, so it’s important to take a supplement that is a Vitamin B COMPLEX. This means it will include lots of different kinds of vitamin B. These Vitamin B forms include:

1. Vitamin B1: Thiamin
   This helps you to convert your blood sugar into energy. You can find it in foods like pork, navy beans and wheat germs.
2. Vitamin B2: Riboflavin
   Among other things, your body uses this to produce red blood cells, grow, and good vision. You can find it in leafy greens and dairy.
3. Vitamin B3: Niacin, Nitonic Acid, Nicotinamide
   Your body uses this to regulate your nervous system and to convert calories from protein, carbohydrates and fat into energy. You can find it in foods like poultry, peanuts and eggs.
4. Vitamin B5: Pantothenic Acid
   This is another B vitamin that helps with energy processing and the nervous system. You can find it naturally in beans, peas, and whole grain cereals.
5. Vitamin B6: Pyridoxine
   This vitamin helps your your body to convert protein into usable energy, and it also helps your brain to function properly. You can find it in foods like poultry, pork and fish.
6. Vitamin B9: Folic Acid
   Folic Acid is important because it helps your body grow and produce new cells. This includes red blood cells and DNA regeneration. You can find it in leafy vegetables like spinach.
7. Vitamin B12: Cyanoco-Balamin
   This helps your brain and nervous system to function normally. You can find it in foods like fish, shellfish and poultry.
