Some preparations may be enriched with additional ingredients, such as choline or inositol, which are also connected with metabolism and with the work of the nervous system.

what is b-complex

Functions of the B group vitamins

Each of the vitamins that make up B-complex performs important functions:

B1 (thiamine) – supports glucose metabolism and the proper work of the nervous system.

B2 (riboflavin) – takes part in the production of energy and protects cells against oxidative stress.

B3 (niacin) – improves circulation and supports the health of the skin.

B5 (pantothenic acid) – essential for the synthesis of steroid hormones and neurotransmitters.

B6 (pyridoxine) – aids protein metabolism, the synthesis of haemoglobin and the functioning of the immune system.

B7 (biotin) – influences the health of the hair, the skin and the nails as well as energy metabolism.

B9 (folic acid) – crucial for the blood-forming processes and for the proper development of the foetus during pregnancy.

B12 (cobalamin) – essential for the production of red blood cells and for the proper working of the nervous system.

Symptoms of a deficiency of B group vitamins

Deficiencies of B group vitamins can give very diverse symptoms:

chronic fatigue and a lack of energy,
problems with concentration and memory,
mood swings, irritability, depression,
sleep disorders,
a deterioration in the condition of the skin, hair and nails,
megaloblastic anaemia (a deficiency of B12 and folic acid),
muscle tremors, tingling and neuropathies.

Because of the wide range of action of the B group vitamins, their deficiencies can strongly affect everyday functioning.

Natural sources of B group vitamins

B group vitamins occur in many food products, which is why with a varied diet the requirement can largely be covered. The best sources are:

wholegrain products (B1, B3, B5),
meat and offal (B2, B6, B12),
fish and seafood (B12, B3),
eggs (B7, B12),
legumes (B9),
green leafy vegetables (B9, B2),
nuts and seeds (B1, B7, B9).

what is b-complex

Why is it worth reaching for B-complex?

Although the diet is the basic source of vitamins, in some situations supplementation with B-complex is particularly beneficial:

in periods of increased stress and exhaustion,
with intense physical effort,
in people on a vegetarian or vegan diet (a risk of B12 deficiency),
during pregnancy and when planning a family (folic acid),
with problems concerning the nervous system, the skin or the hair.

B-complex in dietary supplements

Many B-complex preparations are available on the market, differing in composition and in dosage. It is worth choosing products with a high bioavailability, often in active forms (e.g. methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin in the case of B12).

Brands such as DWATRO Laboratories introduce innovative solutions – e.g. liposomal technologies that increase the absorption of vitamins. Thanks to this the supplements are better absorbed and can support the body more effectively.

DWATRO Laboratories and innovative B-complex formulas

DWATRO Laboratories is a company specialising in supplements based on modern technologies which improve the bioavailability of active ingredients. The B-complex preparations in the brand's range are characterised by:

a synergistic action – B group vitamins combined with other ingredients that support metabolism and the nervous system,
a high bioavailability – the use of DWATRO®LIP (liposomal) technology, which increases absorbability,
an innovative form of administration – e.g. sachets with an oral gel, convenient and practical,
the purity of the composition – without unnecessary additives, with an emphasis on quality and safety.

Such solutions make supplementation with B-complex vitamins more effective and more comfortable.

Can B-complex be overdosed?

B group vitamins, like biotin, are water-soluble. This means that their excess is excreted together with the urine and that the risk of overdose is small. However, the use of very high doses (e.g. megadoses of vitamin B6 or B3) may cause side effects, such as:

sensory neuropathies,
hot flushes and reddening of the skin,
gastrointestinal disorders.

This is why it is worth following the manufacturer's recommendations and using supplementation prudently.

Why is it worth choosing B-Complex-Mg-K™ DWATRO Laboratories?

B group vitamins together with magnesium and potassium play very important roles in the proper functioning of the body, in particular of the nervous, muscular, circulatory and immune systems. They also have an influence on the general energy metabolism. B group vitamins are responsible for the proper functioning of neurotransmitters in the nervous system, and thereby for keeping mental fitness at an appropriate level. Unfortunately, a fast pace of life, stressful work, intensive training, as well as inadequately balanced meals can lead to deficiencies of these vitamins and electrolytes in the body.

The B-complex-Mg-K™ supplement, produced in the Dwatro®Lip liposomal technology, supplements the everyday diet with the B group vitamins essential for the proper functioning of the body, as well as with magnesium and potassium. Liposomal technology ensures considerably higher concentrations of nutrients in the cells of our body, thanks to which the body makes maximum use of the vitamins and electrolytes supplied.

B-Complex-Mg-K™

Summary

B-complex is a set of B group vitamins which together form a synergistic formula supporting metabolism, the nervous system, immunity and the appearance of the skin, the hair and the nails. Deficiencies of these vitamins can significantly worsen the quality of life, which is why in certain situations it is worth considering supplementation.

The DWATRO Laboratories brand offers innovative B-complex preparations based on modern technologies that increase bioavailability. Thanks to this, supplementation is more effective and answers the needs of a contemporary lifestyle better.

My name is Dorota Wątróbska-Świetlikowska, I am a pharmacist and a scientist holding a habilitated doctorate in pharmaceutical sciences. I decided to combine my scientific knowledge and my experience in order to create dietary supplements of the highest quality.

My passion and my main area of research are submicron dispersion systems, such as submicron emulsions, liposomes and lipospheres. After obtaining my doctorate, I turned my attention to the practical aspects of parenteral nutrition, combining the needs of the patient with the capabilities of the pharmacist. Quality, safety and efficacy are the most important things for me , which is visible both in my scientific work and in my approach to creating supplements for Dwatro Laboratories®.
