B Vitamins are water soluble substances that are natural constituents of brewers yeast, liver and whole grain cereals. But because they are water soluble, they are not stored in the body in any appreciable amounts and must be regularly replaced.
Some of the B vitamins are removed by food processing, or when food is over cooked. A busy lifestyle, with the rush of everyday living, is a sure way to test the levels of B complex vitamins!
People who may choose extra dietary help from B vitamins are:
Why are Vitamin B supplements necessary?
One of the most important B vitamins, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is required for:
The immune system
The nervous system's health
Metabolism of essential fatty acids
If B6 is not used in the body it leaves via urine after only 8 hours, so regular replenishment by the diet is important. Supplementation with B6 is often chosen by:
Slimmers, smokers, the elderly
Menstruating women
Discovery Health Food Base Vitamin B complex
The formulation also contains Vitamin C to aid the absorption of the B vitamins and para B vitamins (normally associated nutrients), without reducing the body's own Vitamin C reserves.
NB Niacinamide and Nicotinamide are different names for the same B3 vitamin.
FREE FROM LIVE YEAST
All the Food Base B Vitamin products are grown naturally in yeast. Traditionally, B Vitamins are sourced from yeast. However, for those concerned with yeast and its connection with allergies, we ensure in the production process that all live yeast cells are destroyed.
This is done by removing the outer cell wall which contains the allergens at the completion of the growth process before harvesting. As it states on our label, there are no known allergic reactions to our Food Base B Vitamins.
