Benefits of Bs
Beyond their importance for energy, B vitamins work together to support:
- Sugar metabolism and energy production
- Blood health
- A healthy stress response in the body
- Emotional wellbeing
When your requirements increase, for example during times of stress or in periods of increased physical activity, a B complex supplement can be a great way to maintain a healthy intake of all the B vitamins and support overall health and wellbeing. However, to ensure a B complex best serves your individual needs, it’s critical that you first consider a few key points, including:
- Form – as B vitamins commonly present in supplements in either their activated or non-activated forms. Non-activated B vitamins require some form of metabolic or enzymatic conversion to take place before the B vitamin can be readily used by your body. On the other hand, activated B vitamins are biologically active and are therefore ready to use by the body. Activated B vitamins are considered the ideal choice for those that carry out this conversion process with difficulty
- Delivery – as some B vitamin complexes are designed to be broken down slowly in the gut to provide support over a long period of time
- Potency – as some individuals may have higher B vitamin requirements such as older individuals or strict vegans and vegetarians
Herbs of Gold offers a range of B complexes with distinct features to provide targeted support no matter your individual circumstance!
