Megasorb Vitamin B-complex 50 Tablets - Solgar

Megasorb Vitamin B-complex 50 Tablets from Solgar

Provides a group of B complex vitamins, essential for the body

The body needs B vitamins to help it transform food into energy. This supplement provides a group of B vitamins that work together in the body and are essential for the health of the skin, hair, eyes, mouth, nervous system and liver, as the main organs.
But you only use them after activating them. This Megasorb Vitamin B-Complex from Solgar is formulated with the active forms (coenzymes) of these vitamins, hence it is highly assimilable, together with normal vitamin B. This means that this important group of nutrients is more available.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine):
It is an important coenzyme of thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), an enzyme necessary for energy production, carbohydrate metabolism and also necessary for proper nerve function. A severe deficiency of vitamin B1 causes beriberi with associated symptoms such as: edema, muscle atrophy, cardiovascular dysfunction, among others. Thiamine deficiency can be caused by a deficit of intake and also caused or aggravated by the consumption of alcohol and excess carbohydrates.
Thiamine is necessary for the synthesis and possibly for the release of the neurotransmitter - acetylcholine, which is decisive in memory and appropriate mental function, as well as nerve and muscle function. B1 supplementation has already shown positive results in improving cognitive function in individuals with senile disease and Alzheimer's.
Vitamin B1 is also necessary for the metabolism of alcohol in the liver, together with vitamin C and the amino acid L-cysteine.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin):
It is an essential enzyme coenzyme necessary for the production of ATP, and is therefore involved in the energy production process. It is also involved in processes of regeneration of compounds such as glutathione, the most important substance in the body's detoxification.
Derived from this involvement, the lack of B2 can lead to tired, red eyes and photosensitivity, with glutathione being one of the protective substances of ocular tissue.
Riboflavin is necessary for the production of amino acids and fatty acids.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin):
In the body, niacin is converted into two important coenzymes (NAD and NADP) that are essential in various processes such as: energy production, hormone and DNA synthesis, carbohydrate, lipid, cholesterol and protein metabolism, and tissue growth. Studies have shown that nicotinamide increases insulin sensitivity and secretion. It also seems to have an influence on the level of pancreatic insulin-producing cells, protecting them from autoimmune factors, as well as from the action of free radicals. Niacin supplementation has been used to help raise levels of histamine, when these are abnormally low, and to assist in the detoxification of excess copper, which is normally present when there is a deficiency in histamine. Histamine deficiency can produce symptoms such as: mouth ulcers, tinnitus and sometimes mental and emotional disorientation.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid):
It participates in the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins and in obtaining energy by all the cells of the body; assists the transformation of food into energy.
Pantothenic acid is also necessary in order to synthesize fatty acids, cholesterol, hemoglobin, antibodies, steroid and growth hormones, as well as neurotransmitters (acetylcholine) and phospholipids.
Supplementation with pantothenic acid is often used to improve tolerance to various types of stress (eg mental, physical), a use partly explained by the action it has on the adrenal gland; hence it is known as an anti-stress vitamin.
B5 deficiency can lead to the development of chronic constipation. Among several functions, this vitamin is necessary for the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in the peristaltic action of the intestine.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine):
In its active formula (Pyridoxal-5-phosphate) it works as a coenzyme for a large number of enzymes, involved in transamination, deamination, decarboxylation and condensation reactions, being essential for a correct metabolism of amino acids and proteins. It is very important for maintaining the balance of female reproductive hormones, having been shown to be necessary in reducing estrogen levels, increasing its detoxification in the liver. Supplementation with B6 not only reduces homocysteine ​​levels, but also platelet aggregation; as well as helping to maintain the integrity and elasticity of vascular tissue. Vitamin B6 is also necessary for brain functions, including the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.

Biotin:
It is an essential coenzyme of various enzymes that participate in functions such as: conversion of glucose into energy, metabolism of proteins, synthesis of nucleic acids, metabolism and production of fatty acids, activation of folic acid. Although biotin is produced by intestinal bacteria, ingestion is necessary to obtain sufficient levels.

Hill:
It is the main component of phosphatidylcholine found in lecithin. Phosphatidylcholine acts as a lipotrophic agent, thus preventing the accumulation of fat and cholesterol in the liver. It is also necessary for the production of acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter for memory, knowledge and mood stabilization. Choline is a component of cell membranes and is necessary for the maintenance of myelin, which protects nerve cells and ensures good conduction of nerve messages. The role of choline in the activity of acetylcholine, can also influence digestive function, since acetylcholine is necessary for the peristaltic movements of the intestinal muscles.

Folic acid:
It is essential for cell replication, as well as for the development and maintenance of body tissues and systems, especially the nervous system. There is scientific evidence that confirms the existence of neurological risk of the fetus, when the pregnant woman has a deficit in folic acid. In its active form, folic acid is a potent donor of methyl, an extremely necessary compound for the recycling and production of body substances, including neurotransmitters, as well as for the conversion of homocysteine ​​to methionine. A high amount of homocysteine ​​has already been shown to be a causative factor in the development of Alzheimer's, as well as atherosclerosis.
It is an indispensable nutrient for the prevention and treatment of anemia. In case of alcoholism the need for folic acid also increases.

Vitamin B12:
In its active form it is necessary for the metabolism of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates.
Like folic acid, vitamin B12 is a potent donor of the methyl group.
It is essential in case of alcoholism and pernicious anemia.
The various B-complex vitamins work best when in the presence of each other, so the set enhances the use of each one.
