The Synergy of B Vitamins for Energy

Eniva’s B-Complex is a dietary supplement of B vitamins in an aqueous solution. The B vitamins work synergistically. Acting together, they can energize the body for optimal health.*

Eniva’s Vitamins were developed to meet the challenge of providing life-enhancing dietary supplements for the consumer. Eniva's B-Complex is a dietary supplement of B vitamins in an aqueous solution. Its molecular, advanced proprietary delivery system was developed by Eniva Corporation. Eniva’s B-Complex dietary supplement has already performed the initial steps the body undertakes when trying to assimilate vitamins - to put them in a completely bio-available form to be effectively utilized by the body. The specific balance of vitamins, their natural form in solution, and the technology used to produce the B-Complex sets it apart from other supplement options.

How Vitamin B-Complex Works

The B vitamins work synergistically with each other to have maximum effect on the body. Vitally important is the role the B vitamins play in converting the food we eat into energy. Acting together, they can reenergize the body for optimal health. B-Complex vitamins are essential for proper body function. In addition, women who consume healthful diets with adequate folate [folic acid] may reduce their risk of having a child with birth defects of the brain or spinal cord. Folate intake should not exceed 1,000 mcg daily.

Vitamin B1 - Thiamin

At Work in Energy Production

The body goes through an amazingly complex series of reactions to turn the food an individual eats into energy. All of the B vitamins are involved in each of these steps, but thiamin is of particular interest. Thiamin plays a critical role in the conversion of blood sugar, glucose, into biological energy. One step in the process needs an enzyme called thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP) to work. Without thiamin, the body cannot make various enzymes essential for energy production and the whole process comes to a halt.

Thiamin is also required for proper brain and nervous system functioning.* Thiamin is connected with the brain’s ability to use glucose as an energy source and to maintain normal mental functioning.* It is also needed to produce and use the vital neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Thiamin is also involved in key metabolic reactions in nervous tissue, the heart, the formation of red blood cells, and the maintenance of smooth and skeletal muscle.* Thiamin helps keep your heart muscles elastic and working smoothly, which helps your heart pump strongly and evenly.* In fact, thiamin is so essential for our bodies that lack of thiamin in intravenous nutrition formulations can lead to life-threatening situations.

Vitamin B2 - Riboflavin

At Work in Enzyme Production

Riboflavin is essential for proper body functioning, especially as it relates to energy production.* It provides energy at the most basic level: inside the body’s cells. Riboflavin is needed to make two enzymes that are absolutely critical for releasing energy from the fats, carbohydrates, and proteins consumed.

Riboflavin and its derivatives are also involved in cell growth and reproduction. It helps the body make new red blood cells, which are necessary for carrying oxygen so people can breathe. It also helps the immune system by keeping healthy mucous membranes that line your digestive and respiratory systems.

Riboflavin is involved with an enzyme called glutathione reductase, which helps the body maintain a major protector against free radicals. Because of this, emerging evidence indicates that riboflavin can act as an antioxidant in the body, potentially helping the immune system and promoting healthy cholesterol by helping to quench free radicals in the body.*

Riboflavin assists in a number of vital chemical processes in the body. For example, folate and vitamin B6 require riboflavin to undergo the chemical changes that make them useful. Amino acids are also transformed by riboflavin and its derivatives into what are called neurotransmitters, chemicals essential for memory and thinking.

Vitamin B3 - Niacin

At Work in Biochemical Reactions

More than 50 body processes, from releasing energy from food to making hormones and detoxifying chemicals, all depend on niacin. As with many of the other B vitamins, niacin is also involved in energy production and a whole host of other chemical reactions through its derivatives. The normal physiologic role of niacin is as a component of enzymes that are involved in the oxidation-reduction reactions needed for respiration in tissues.

Nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) is rapidly becoming one of the substances of choice for promoting healthy levels of cholesterol.* Vitamin B3 has been conclusively found to promote a healthy balance of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (unhealthy cholesterol) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (healthy cholesterol).*

Niacin may also promote the health of airway systems and joints in the body.* This is most likely because of niacin’s ability to help prevent histamine release, a biochemical normally released in the body during allergic reactions. Due to this fact, niacin has also been suggested by some studies to promote normal range of motion and promote joint health.* Another novel use of niacin has been to counter occasional sleeplessness.* It has proven to be a sleep enhancer.* The nutrient activates certain receptors in the brain that affect sleep.

Biotin

At Work During Metabolism

Biotin acts as a coenzyme during the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Specifically, it acts as a cofactor for carboxylase reactions that are involved in the synthesis of fatty acids and DNA, energy production, and in the metabolism of branched chain amino acids. Because of its role in metabolism, some studies have suggested a possible role for biotin in promoting sugar balance in the body.*

One of biotin’s primary roles is to modulate fat metabolism. When liver damage occurs, the cells swell and become infiltrated with fat. This fat, when present, keeps the cells from healing when damaged, which can lead to an abundance of problems. Biotin works well to remove fatty deposits resulting from toxins, thus promoting healthy liver function.*

Due to biotin’s role as a cofactor for the metabolism of fats and amino acids, it has been suggested that biotin can help promote athletic performance.* Since it is important in the metabolism of the three vital amino acids valine, isoleucine and leucine, it may help long-term muscle mass growth.*
