Because B-vitamins are used to support the body’s metabolism of the major nutrients- carbohydrate, fat and protein – this supplement can be used for its role in energy metabolism. In addition, B-complex is recommended as an anti-stress formula due to its role in supporting brain and nerve function. This unique formula provides extra nutrients needed for heart health such as choline and the amino acid, L-methionine.

This formula contains all the B vitamins and 1000 mg. of Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids to support the stress response system. They promote proper function of the nervous system, strengthen the immune system, reduce risk of heart disease, and provide adrenal support during stress.

Pantothenic acid,or vitamin B5,is very plentiful in many of the foods we eat, and is found in all living things. In fact, scientists derived its name from the Greek root “panthos, “which means “everywhere.” Most grains, vegetables and meats contain pantothenic acid, as well as liver, yeast, salmon, eggs, and dairy products.In addition to being involved in the Krebs cycle of energy production, Vitamin B5 is involved in the production of red blood cells and adrenal hormones. The body converts it to a catalyst called coenzyme A. This catalyst is very critical to energy production in the body.Vitamin B5 works with the other B vitamins to help in the ATP making process. It is ATP that accelerates the cells in the body, giving them the energy to run on.According to studies, vitamin B5 may reduce cholesterol levels and lower triglycerides in the body. Abnormalities in cells caused by diabetes have also been found to occur less frequently when vitamin B5 is supplemented.Experiments have also shown that it could help with Rheumatoid arthritis.

Vitamin B-6 is one of the more popular members of the B-vitamin family and is found in fresh vegetables. Clinical studies have shown that B-6 plays an important role in regulating homocysteine levels in the body. Homocysteine is produced as a by-product of the demethylation of methionine and can be toxic in elevated amounts.

The coenzyme form of vitamin B-12 is known as methylcobalamin or methyl B-12. This form of vitamin B-12 directly participates in homocysteine metabolism.In recent years, high levels of homocysteine have been found to be associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Vitamin B-12 assists in converting homocysteine to methionine which increases the supply of SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Not only can SAMe enchance mood and alleviate depression, it can also protect the joint linings and support liver health.Methylcobalamin is metabolically active and easily absorbed by the body. This is the most highly reduced form of vitamin B-12, making methylcobalamin a very potent antioxidant. Our sublingual form yields the highest assimilation possible. Olympian Labs uses methylcobalamin because it is the only active form of vitamin B-12 available. Most formulas contain cyanocobalamin. This form must be converted by the body into methyl or adenosyl by removing the cyanide molecule.Vitamin B-12 is crucial in preventing anemia. It aids folic acid in regulating the formation of red blood cells and helps in the body?s utilization of iron. Vitamin B-12 also acts to prevent nerve damage, maintains fertility, promotes normal growth and development of the fatty sheathes that cover and protect nerve endings. It has also been linked to the production of neurotransmitters that assist memory and learning.
