B vitamins are all water-soluble and play an important role in energy production and the nervous system. In general, they contribute to both mental and physical performance.
Each vitamin has its own specific characteristics:
Vitamin B1 (thiamine): contributes to the proper functioning of the heart and nervous system and helps convert carbohydrates into energy.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): Promotes your energy metabolism. Good for the nervous system, helps with fatigue, helps maintain good iron levels in the blood, is important for healthy skin and mucous membranes, and helps protect the cells in your body from oxidative damage.
Vitamin B3 (niacin): Plays a role in the body's energy supply and the production of fatty acids.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): is necessary for the body's energy supply and the building and breakdown of proteins and fats. Vitamin B5 also plays an important role in healthy, elastic skin. It promotes skin and wound repair.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): helps in the production of red blood cells, supports energy levels,
contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, contributes to normal psychological function, is good for fatigue and tiredness, helps regulate hormone activity and contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system and immune system.
