|
Vitamin B-1
 |
Vital role in
the conversion of
blood sugar (glucose) to energy. |
 |
Metabolic activities
affects the nerves, muscles, and cardiovascular system. |
Vitamin B-2
 |
Antioxidant
function. Important for converting
carbohydrates to energy. |
Vitamin B-6
 |
Arthritis:
Patients with rheumatoid
arthritis have been found to be deficient in B6 |
 |
Asthma:
Taking 50 mg two times per day dramatically
decreased frequency and severity of attacks for many
asthmatics. |
 |
Atherosclerosis:
Taken with folic acid and vitamin B12, vitamin B6 may lower
homocysteine concentrations. |
 |
Autism:
About 30 percent of autistics
experience substantial improvement with high-dose B6
therapy. |
 |
Carpal
Tunnel Syndrom (CTS): Vitamin B6 deficiency may
encourage development of or aggravate the symptoms of CTS
and often the symptoms of CTS are relieved by B6
supplementation in either a B-complex formula within 4
weeks. |
 |
Depression:
Vitamin B6 is necessary for the synthesis of serotonin. |
 |
Kidney
Stones: Vitamin B6 may prevent
formulation of calcium oxalate stones. |
 |
MSG
sensitivity: Vitamin B6 is necessary to metabolize
monosodium gluamate. |
 |
PMS:
Research shows that 60 mg/d reduces
systems for majority of women. |
Vitamin B-12
 |
Atherosclerosis
prevention: Homocysteine concentrations, when elevated,
are a risk factor for atherosclerosis disease. Vitamin
B12 is necessary for the metabolism
of homocysteine. |
 |
Cognitive
enhancement: A literature review of recent research has
noted subclinical difference in nutritional status of
certain B vitamins among older adults may influence certain
aspects of cognitive performance. Supplementation with
B12, B9, and B6 has
been effective in enhancing cognitive performance in
older adults. |
 |
Chohn's
disease: Sufferers typically have low levels of B12
levels, and the vitamin is needed to repair
damaged intestinal cells. |
 |
Depression:
Depression without anemia is a common result of cobalamin
deficiency in the elderly. |
 |
Diabetes:
Vitamin B12 may help prevent
peripheral neuropathy in diabetics. |
 |
Anemia:
Vitamin B12 is needed to prevent
anemia. It aids folic acid in regulating the formation of red blood
cells and helps in the utilization of iron. |
Vitamin B-3
 |
Acne
vulgaris: Research has should 4 percent
niacinamide topical gel may be superior to 1% clindamycin
gel. |
 |
Arthritis: Vitamin
B3 has been used in both rheumatoid
and osteoathritis. |
 |
Cataracts: Combining
vitamin B3 and vitamin B2 resulted in a
44% reduction
in cataracts. |
 |
Cholesterol
and triglyceride lowering: Vitamin B3 lowers
elevated LDL cholesterol while simultaneously raising
HDL levels. Vitamin B3 also effectively lowers
elevated levels of triglycerides. |
 |
Glucose
tolerance: Vitamin B3 in combination with chromium
improves glucose
tolerance. |
 |
Heart
attack prevention: In individuals with previous
myocardial infarction, vitamin B3 provided a 11% reduction
in subsequent heart attacks over 15 years. |
Vitamin B-9
 |
Alcoholism:
Alcohol inhibits folate absorption and alcoholics are
usually deficient. |
 |
Atherosclerosis:
Homocysteine concentration, when elevated, are a risk factor
for atherosclerosis disease. Vitamin B9 lowers
homocysteine levels, which
decreases atherogenesis. |
 |
Birth
defects: Adequate vitamin B9 is necessary to prevent
neural tube defects such as spina bifida. |
 |
Depression:
Many patients with major depression
and schizophrenia improve with vitamin B9 therapy. |
 |
Osteoporosis:
Vitamin B9 lowers
homocysteine levels. Homocysteine interferes
with collagen crosslinking, which leads to a defective bone
matrix. |
Vitamin B-5
 |
Acne
vulgaris: Vitamin B5 deficiency may be primary
cause of acne vulgaris. |
 |
Adrenal
support: Vitamin B5 is required for the synthesis
of adrenal steroid hormones. |
 |
Allergies:
Some allergic individuals respond well to vitamin B5
therapy. |
 |
Arthritis:
Rheumatoid arthritis patients with low B5 levels have more
severe disease symptoms. |
 |
Constipation:
At therapeutic doses, peristalsis is stimulated. |
 |
Hyperlipidemia:
Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides are lowered by
vitamin B5. |
 |
Surgery/wound
healing: In combination, vitamin B5 and ascorbic
acid significantly enhance postsurgical therapy and wound
healing . |
Biotin
 |
Brittle
nails: 63% of patients gained up to a 25% increase
in nail thickness. |
 |
Diabetes
Mellitus: Biotin is needed to
metabolize glucose and lower
blood sugar levels. |
 |
Diabetic
peripheral neuropathy: Influences nervous system
metabolism. |
Choline
 |
Alzheimer's
disease: Treatment with choline slows
the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's patients treated with a combination of choline
and Piracetam achieved dramatic improvements in cognitive
function. |
 |
Manic
depression: Choline is an effective adjunctive
treatment with lithium in the treatment of manic depression. |
 |
Memory
enhancement: Choline supplementation improves
short-term memory. |
 |
Parkinson's
disease: Provides some symptomatic improvements. |
 |
Experts
believe exposure to Choline during early development can
increase memory capability:
Most children have
amazing capacity to learn. Learning capacity is best
demonstrated by a child's ability to remember. That is why
memory plays the most significant role in overall brain
functioning. Good memory is often attributed as one of the
major ingredients in one's academic success.
