B-VITAMIN DEFENSE AGAINST THE DEPLETING EFFECTS OF STRESS AND FATIGUE

High Potency Balanced B Complex Plus includes 15 of the chain of 17 B-vitamins. These B-vitamins are combined with Royal Jelly, Ginkgo Biloba and Acetyl-L-Carnitine for increased potency.

You are only as healthy as your cells - the core of your body’s make-up. Fortunately help is at hand from a rapidly expanding group of natural vitamins called the B-group vitamins. The B-group vitamins are a collection of essential nutrients, which work in closely related ways inside the body.

All of the B-group complex family are water-soluble and easily lost through cooking, refining and food processing. The B-group vitamins occur in different forms. They are found in food sources such as vegetables and animal products, vegetable proteins, Brewers yeast, Torula yeast as well as in wholegrain cereals. B-vitamins can assist patients to supplement in the safest, most scientific way.

Only the best GMP (Good Manufacturing Products/Practice) raw materials and ingredients are selected. A careful combination of raw material quality and production practises is used to guarantee maximum nutrient content, absorption and potency. This is coupled with a long tradition of small, short manufacturing runs to guarantee maximum freshness and super-potency.

High Potency Balance B Complex Plus has recently been reformulated and updated.

Special combinations of nutrients can actually improve your mood. Lifeforce is pleased to provide natural elements that can enhance mood and improve your outlook on life. There’s no smarter way to put a smile on your face!

B-group vitamins are vital for converting carbohydrates into glucose and food into energy. They are also vital for the functioning of the central nervous system and are recommended for those working under pressure. When the body has a B-vitamin deficiency, carbohydrates do not burn fully, but rather produce ‘smoke’ so to speak. The symptoms are nervousness, constipation, fatigue and indigestion.

B vitamins have many functions, which include helping to offset the damaging effects of Chronic and Acute Stress, Allergies, Chronic fatigue, as well as lowering Cysteine levels, preventing Atherosclerosis and assisting the immune system. Many of the B-group vitamins are concerned with various processes in the liver, eyes, skin and hair.

When you are stressed, your body burns up a considerable amount of vitamin B. In such times, your body requires vitamin B supplementation.

BENEFICIAL EFFECTS:

• Eating foods rich in B-vitamins (such as liver) or supplementing with B-vitamins can help people under physical or emotional stress.
  
• The B-vitamins can prove most beneficial for individuals with weak digestion, poor appetite, constipation, fatigue, anaemia and migraines.
  
• B-group vitamins are helpful in strengthening the nervous system.

HOMOCYSTEINE
Homocysteine is an amino acid produced by the body. Certain B-vitamins can reduce elevated levels of homocysteine, a risk factor for cardio vascular disease. Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid are the primary homocysteine lowering nutrients.

WHO SHOULD SUPPLEMENT WITH B VITAMINS?
Anyone who is not eating a healthy balanced diet or shows any of the general symptoms of stress, may benefit from supplementing with a B-complex vitamin or taking combinations of B vitamins:

• Fatigue (tiredness)
• Loss of appetite
• Lack of concentration
• Lethargy
• Weight loss
• Recurrent colds and flu, or other infections

Lifeforce High Potency Balanced B Complex Plus is essential for stress recovery and for strengthening immune function. It is ideal for those who are very busy, stressed or facing many demanding and challenging tasks.
