Energi+ | B Vitamins

B1 Thiamine

• Plays a critical role in the metabolism of carbohydrates into energy*
• Cofactor for the enzyme Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH)*
• PDH is one of the main enzymes that converts glucose from carbohydrate into energy*
• Used in synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACH)*
• Improve glucose use*
  

B2 Riboflavin

• Required for FAD and FMN which are mitochondrial energy production enzymes*
• Assists in carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism*
• Facilitates the normalization of MTHFR enzyme activity*
• Assists glutathione recycling*

B3 Niacinamide

• Stimulates mitochondrial energy production*
• Lowers free fatty acids in the blood*
• Assists greatly with carbohydrate metabolism*
• Increase NAD+*
• May lower cholesterol*
• Neuroprotection*
  

B5 Pantothenic Acid

• Energy metabolism*
• Synthesis of coenzyme A (Acetyl-CoA - mitochondrial energy molecule!)*
• Supports myelin production & neurotransmitter Acetylcholine*
  

B6 Pyridoxine

• Helps recycle cysteine into glutathione*
• Required in monoamine synthesis (dopamine, GABA, serotonin, epinephrines)*
• Energy metabolism*
• Aids liver detoxification*

B7 Biotin

• Involved in hair, skin, and nail health*
• Coenzyme in carboxylation reactions*
• Aids insulin production*
• Aids aerobic oxidative metabolism*
  

B9 Folate

• DNA synthesis & repair*
• Methylation*
• Amino acid metabolism & conversion*
• Homocysteine regulation*
• Blood cell production*
• Required in rapid cell division & growth*
• Can help prevent neural tube defects*
• Methylfolate prevents glycine wasting*
  

B12 Cobalamin

• New red blood cell production*
• Used alongside B9 in homocysteine regulation*
• DNA synthesis & repair*
• Aids in energy metabolism*
• Helps maintain nerve sheaths*

Inositol

• Improves insulin sensitivity*
