B-COMPLEX

B vitamins assist in the synthesis and re-energizing of cells and tissues throughout the body as well as promote active conversion of all food into energy.   They are also vital to healthy neurological functioning, stress management and mood and mental clarity.   B vitamins also promote production of adrenal hormones and the formation of antibodies and red blood cells for healthy blood, skin and eyes.   When missing, the body cannot function as it should and is susceptible to disease.   Organika's Vitamin B-Complex High Potency with Lipotropic Factors supplies the body with the following essential vitamins to maintain good health.
