B Vitamins
B vitamins are nutrients important for cell metabolism, and for maintaining healthy hair, skin, nails, eyes, and nerves. They're also helpful for promoting brain and heart health. B vitamins tend to naturally exist together in whole, unprocessed foods. However, many people today consume a diet high in processed foods and find it challenging to obtain enough nutrients from food. Being water-soluble, B vitamins need to be replenished on a daily basis. Our Phytonutrient Based B-Complex provides the key B vitamins in a whole food base.
