B-Complex-Mg-K^™

Magnesium in the form of magnesium taurate, an organic salt that is a combination of magnesium with the amino acid – taurine. Magnesium taurate is considered one of the better-absorbed forms of magnesium, with the presence of taurine being as high as 80%. Organic salts are much better absorbed by the body compared to inorganic salts. Magnesium assists in the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles, helps to maintain normal psychological functions, and contributes to reducing feelings of fatigue and tiredness. In addition, magnesium helps to maintain electrolyte balance, assists in the normal synthesis of protein and helps to maintain healthy bones and teeth.

Vitamin B12, cobalamin, is one of the water-soluble vitamins, which means that its reserves in the body are low and it requires daily replenishment. There are two forms of vitamin B12 methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin differs from cyanocobalamin in that the cyano group at the cobalt is replaced by a methyl group. Methylcobalamin is better absorbed and longer stored in the body than cyanocobalamin. Vitamin B12 helps the normal functioning of the nervous system and the maintenance of normal psychological functions and contributes to the reduction of feelings of fatigue and tiredness. In addition, vitamin B12 assists in the normal production of red blood cells, helps to maintain normal psychological functions and contributes̨ to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism in the body and homocysteine metabolism.

Potassium is an electrolyte that is of vital importance to the body, as the proper functioning of the nervous system, muscles and heart depends on the correct amount and concentration of potassium, as it helps in the proper functioning of the nervous system, muscles and also in maintaining normal blood pressure. It is mainly found inside the cells, and only 2% of the total body potassium is found in the extracellular space – in tissue fluids and blood. The kidneys are the most important organ for regulating potassium concentration. Potassium is supplied to the body with food and fluids. Loss of potassium from the gastrointestinal tract occurs as a result of diarrhea, laxative abuse, vomiting, intestinal fistulas and colonic adenomas. Potassium can also be lost through the skin as a result of profuse sweating or after burns. Potassium deficiency can also be caused by a long-term low supply of potassium in food, as in the case of chronically malnourished people (e.g. mental anorexia, alcoholism, wasting diseases).

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, the active form of which is 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHL). Folate helps in the normal production of blood and the normal synthesis of amino acids, as well as contributing to the reduction of feelings of fatigue and tiredness and helping in the normal functioning of the immune system. Folate is found in the daily diet in both plant and animal products. However, folic acid from food products is unstable and quickly destroyed. Therefore, adequate supplementation with folic acid is important.

Biotin, i.e. vitamin B7, sometimes called vitamin H, contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin. Biotin contributes to the normal function of the nervous system. It contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal psychological function. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.

Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and certain neurotransmitters that play an important role in the nervous system. In addition, it contributes to the reduction of feelings of fatigue and tiredness, helps maintain mental performance at a normal level, and contributes to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism. Pantothenic acid deficiencies can manifest as keratosis and peeling of the epidermis, deterioration of the skin, change in hair pigmentation (greying), difficulties in healing wounds and scratches and, in some cases, ‘burning feet syndrome’.

Vitamin B1, called thiamine, was isolated by Casimir Funk in 1911 from rice bran. Vitamin B1 is water-soluble and is not stored in the body, so it should be supplied to the body daily. Deficiency of vitamin B1 causes beri beri disease (can cause weakness of the nervous system, heart failure and even death). Vitamin B1 helps in the normal functioning of the nervous system and in the normal functioning of the heart, as well as helping to maintain normal psychological functions and contributing to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism in the body.

Niacin, also known as vitamin B3 or nicotinic acid amide, is extremely important for the body as it supports the functioning of our nervous system, helps to maintain normal psychological functions and contributes to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism. In addition, it also supports the condition of our skin and mucous membranes.

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a water-soluble vitamin of the B vitamin group. It is stable during heat treatment, but is easily degraded when exposed to light. Vitamin B2 helps to maintain normal red blood cells, contributes to maintaining normal iron metabolism, contributes to maintaining normal energy metabolism, helps to maintain normal functioning of the nervous system, helps to maintain normal condition of mucous membranes, helps to protect cells from oxidative stress, contributes to reducing feelings of tiredness and fatigue. The effects of vitamin B2 deficiency are manifested in the form of clotting, dry and scaly skin, seborrhoeic dermatitis, inflammation of the tongue, redness of the conjunctiva, dysfunction of the nervous system.

Vitamin B6, called pyridoxine, is one of the water-soluble vitamins, which means that its reserves in the body are small and it needs to be replenished every day. Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function, and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In addition, vitamin B6 contributes to normal red blood cell formation, to the regulation of hormonal activity and to normal cysteine synthesis and homocysteine metabolism. Severe vitamin B6 deficiency is characterised above all by damage to the peripheral nerves (neuropathy). It is also accompanied by inflammatory skin changes, mood changes, tiredness and weakness, tingling and numbness, problems with concentration and inflammation in the mouth.

Sunflower lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids, the most important of which is phosphatidylcholine. Phospholipids play a very important role in our body, as they are part of all biological membranes, regulate enzyme activity as well as membrane permeability, transport and potential, and are an integral component of plasma lipoproteins. Scientific studies have found that phosphatidylcholine has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and, above all, increases choline levels in plasma and in the brain, resulting in increased synthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
