B1 (thiamine): essential for the carbohydrate metabolism, it also regulates the consumption of glucose, which is essential for nervous tissue. Inadequate intake of B1 can cause irritability, poor concentration, sleep disorders, memory loss and poor muscle performance.
B2 (riboflavin): this antioxidant vitamin increases iron absorption and regulates erythrocyte growth. It has protective effects on skin, hair, nails and eyesight. It alleviates weariness and fatigue.
B6 (pyridoxine): combined with folic acid and vitamin B12, it favours the reduction of homocysteine levels, besides controlling mood and premenstrual syndrome.
Niacin (B3): supports nervous system function and maintains normal skin and mucous membranes.
B12 (cyanocobalamin): an essential vitamin for both vegetarians and vegans, combined with folic acid and vitamin B6, B12 favours a reduction in homocysteine levels. Useful for mood disorders and to improve cognitive function.
Folic Acid (B9): essential to protect the foetus during pregnancy; combined with vitamins B6 and B12, it favours a reduction in homocysteine levels. Its deficiency is observed in cases of depression, autism and cognitive disorders in the elderly.
Pantothenic Acid (B5): contributes to the normal synthesis of steroid hormones, of vitamin D and of some neurotransmitters.
Biotin (vitamin H): biotin is a vitamin that is commonly used in cosmetics. It is particularly important for healthy skin adnexa (skin, hair, nails).
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid): PABA (vitamin B10) is required for folic acid synthesis, and is decisive for protein metabolism. Supports the action of biotin and of folic acid.
Choline: necessary for normal hepatic function, along with methionine, folic acid and vitamin B12, choline belongs to the group of lipotropic substances, compounds that prevent fatty acid deposits from blood. It is the precursor of acetylcholine and of phospholipids that form cell membranes.
Inositol (vitamin B7) in its active form “myo-inositol” it is the greatest precursor of phospholipids, cell membrane components.
