Vitamin B-complex is great for a boost of nutrients in a single serving. Here at Purality Health, our Micelle Liposomal Active B-complex ingredients include eight B vitamins and nine essential minerals, four of which are key electrolytes. On top of that, they are all sourced naturally. But what is it all for and how do they each benefit you?
Here is a breakdown of our Active B-complex ingredients and their function:
B vitamins
Purality Health’s B-complex contains the eight B vitamins which are all infused with our micelle liposomal technology for increased absorption.
B vitamins are water-soluble and largely absorbed in the intestinal tract. Any excess is simply passed through the body, so no negative side-effects come from consuming large amounts. This also means that these vitamins must be consumed regularly, as the body does not store them.
Now, let’s take a look at what these vitamins do:
Vitamin B1 – Thiamine:
Vitamin B1, or thiamine, was the first B vitamin to be discovered, hence the name. Its primary function is to help the body turn food into energy. The body uses it to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that transports energy within the cells. [1]
Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin
If you’ve ever consumed foods with riboflavin, or taken it as a supplement, you might have noticed that your pee is especially yellow. This is due to vitamin B2 and its natural yellow color. But besides yellowing your pee, vitamin B2 plays a role in breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to produce energy. [2]
Vitamin B3 – Niacin
Vitamin B3 boasts many health benefits while also helping the body convert food into energy. It is a major component of the coenzymes involved in cellular metabolism. Additionally, niacin acts as an antioxidant and contributes to making and repairing DNA. [3]
Vitamin B5 – Pantothenic Acid
Like all B vitamins, B5 contributes to metabolism, turning the food you eat into energy. On top of that, pantothenic acid helps create red blood cells, sex hormones, and stress hormones. [4]
Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxine
Along with its function of metabolizing protein and glucose, vitamin B6 is involved in keeping the lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen healthy. It helps create hemoglobin, a component of red blood cells. Pyridoxine is also thought to support brain health. [5]
Vitamin B7 – Biotin
Also known as vitamin H, biotin helps turn food into energy. The word “biotin” comes from the ancient Greek word “biotos,” which means “life” or “sustenance.” Biotin helps keep your skin, hair, eyes, liver, and nervous system healthy. Biotin is also a crucial nutrient during pregnancy, as it’s important for embryonic growth. [20]
Vitamin B9 – Folate
Folate is another contributor to the creation and maintenance of DNA and other genetic material. It also helps in the process of cell division – a necessary part of the cell cycle. [6]
Vitamin B12 – Cobalamin
Cobalamin is a complex vitamin that has been heavily researched and is notable for an array of health benefits. The vitamin is crucial for human health, with prolonged deficiency having potentially permanent consequences. It plays an important role in brain function and the nervous system. It is also critical in the formation of red blood cells, along with regulating and creating DNA. [7]
Minerals and electrolytes
Minerals are required for optimal human health and they contribute to a healthy lifestyle in their own way. Collectively, Purality Health’s Active B-complex has nine of these essential minerals, with four of them acting as electrolytes. They serve many functions in the body, such as regulating muscle and nerve function, hydrating the body, supporting heart health, and assisting in repairing damaged tissue.
Let’s take a look at what minerals are present in the Active B-complex and how they help your body function.
Zinc
After iron, zinc is the most abundant trace mineral in the body. Without it, your sense of taste and smell would weaken. Along with that, it contributes to many bodily functions including gene expression, enzymatic reactions, growth and development, protein synthesis, wound healing, and immune function. [8]
Selenium
This mineral comes with a list of potential health benefits, but also plays an important role in metabolism, thyroid function, and immune support. [9]
Boron
Boron helps your body metabolize other vitamins and minerals. It also plays a role in maintaining bone health, while also regulating estrogen and testosterone levels. Some studies have also suggested that it may contribute to a healthy brain. [10]
Chromium
One of the hardest metals on earth, chromium contributes to the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats by enhancing the action of insulin. [11]
Vanadium
Vanadium assists in metabolism and energy production. It is also thought to play a role in the central nervous system and potentially slow down the aging process. [12]
Calcium
Calcium contributes to many bodily functions, particularly bone health. The mineral promotes muscle health and strengthens the connection between the brain and the rest of the body. [13]
Magnesium
Every cell in your body contains magnesium. It is involved in over 600 functions including energy formation, protein formation, gene maintenance, muscle movement, and regulation of the nervous system. It is linked to an array of health benefits and has been shown to be a critical component to a healthy lifestyle. [14]
Potassium
Potassium is associated with a bunch of great health benefits. A positively charged electrolyte when met with fluids, it is the third most abundant mineral in the body. It helps balance fluids, send nerve signals, and regulate muscle function. [16]
And there’s more…
You may already be thinking that the Active B-complex is loaded, and that’s because it is. But, we’re not quite finished.
Here a few more of our B-complex ingredients:
Vitamin E – Alpha Tocopherol
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that functions as an antioxidant, protecting the cells in the body from the damage caused by free radicals. [17]
Natural Flavor
When we say natural flavor, we mean it. Our Active B-complex is flavored only with citrus oil – lemon, orange, and tangerine. [18]
Micelles and Liposomes
Last, but not least, Purality Health’s Active B-complex is infused with our Micelle Liposomal formula. This means that all of the important vitamins and minerals you just read about are wrapped in micelles and liposomes – tiny, fatty cells – which are natural to your body and designed to enhance absorption. Our formula gets the nutrients through the digestive tract and right to where they need to go. [19]
No Filler
Every Active B-complex ingredient is included in the formula for a reason. Everything in the bottle has a job. And each job contributes to the end result of a natural, effective product.
