Description
B vitamins –thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12) – are essential nutrients that participate in thousands of metabolic reactions within the body. The group of B vitamins are typically referred to as B-complex. B vitamins are water soluble, and though unique to each other, work synergistically with one another. Since the body does not store B vitamins, and they are depleted with stress, replenishment is necessary – either through diet or supplementation.‡
B vitamins are needed to convert dietary fuels, such as carbohydrates and fats into energy, and for the synthesis of important biochemicals such as steroid hormones and DNA. B vitamins also help to maintain a healthy nervous system and healthy skin, hair, and muscle tone in addition to a myriad of other benefits including cognitive health, cardiovascular health, vision health, stress management, etc.‡
Aller-B® is a full spectrum B-complex supplement providing at or above the RDA of most of the B vitamins. In addition, Aller-B® also includes choline, para aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and inositol which support and enhance the efficacy of Aller-B®.‡
