Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for energy production; for nervous system function as it is needed to produce myelin, the fatty substance that forms a protective sheath around nerves; for the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps with memory and learning; for the synthesis of red blood cells; for producing the genetic materials, DNA and RNA. Vitamin B12 is primarily in animal-source foods and may be deficient in strict vegetarian diets. Vitamin B12 works with folic acid to control homocysteine levels.

The methylcobalamin form, absorbed sublingually (under the tongue), is the most active form of vitamin B12 and is shown to have advantages over cyanocobalamin and all other forms of B12, including injections. It absorbs as readily, but keeps blood levels high. Injections provide a B12 surge, followed by a drop to a plateau level. Methylcobalamin is active immediately upon absorption as compared to cyanocobalamin that must first be converted to methylcobalamin by the body.*Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for energy production; for nervous system function as it is needed to produce myelin, the fatty substance that forms a protective sheath around nerves; for the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps with memory and learning; for the synthesis of red blood cells; for producing the genetic materials, DNA and RNA.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is essential to the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which contributes to an increased energy production level in the body. Riboflavin also helps maintain healthy vision, skin, hair and mucous membranes.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) is necessary for protein metabolism, energy production and normal nervous system function. This U.S.P. form of Niacin has a beneficial effect on the circulatory system causing some people to experience flushing, a sensation of heat and reddening. With today?s lifestyle, it is often difficult to get proper nutrition, making Natural Factors Niacin tablets your nutritional insurance to fortify your daily diet.

Pantothenic acid (as calcium pantothenate), or vitamin B5, is utilized in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, energy production, as well as the manufacture of adrenal hormones and red blood cells.* Pantothenic Acid is also referred to as vitamin B5. In our bodies, pantothenic acid is converted to coenzyme A, necessary for the synthesis of cholesterol, bile and steroids. Coenzyme A in the body can detoxify harmful substances found in herbicides, insecticides, and drugs.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is involved in the formation of body proteins and structural compounds including chemical transmitters in the brain. Vitamin B6 is also critical in maintaining hormonal balance and proper immune function. Vitamin B6 is involved in nearly 60 enzyme systems in the body. It is necessary for normal growth, red blood cell synthesis and vitamin B12 absorption. Vitamin B6 supplementation, in conjunction with folic acid and vitamin B12, can lower homocysteine levels. By inhibiting the production of oxalate, vitamin B6 may prevent calcium oxalate kidney stone recurrence.*Persons at risk for vitamin B6 deficiency are: anyone with a malabsorption problem (such as lactose intolerance or celiac disease); diabetics; elderly; women who are pregnant, nursing or taking oral contraceptives.
