• Especially important in keeping brain and nervous system healthy
• Also plays a role in muscle contraction and conduction of nerve signals

What are the signs and symptoms of Vitamin B1 deficiency?

• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Psychosis
• Nerve Damage
• Brain damage in severe cases

Thiamine deficiency is most often seen in people who abuse alcohol. A lo of alcohol makes it difficult for the body to absorb thiamine Vit B1 from foods.

Research:
Vit B1 (Thiamine) is know to be effective for treating some metabolic disorders with genetic diseases. Also for simple Thiamine deficiency and as documented the sever brain disorder due to thiamine deficiency (Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome)

Research also shows it may also be effective for reducing the risk of Cataracts, also in treating kidney disease in people with diabetes, and early research suggests that taking thiamine for 90 days stops pain associated with menstruation in girls 12-21 years old. (medlineplus.gov)

Vitamin B2:

• It is important for body growth
• It helps in Red Blood Cell production
• It aids the release of energy from proteins

What are the signs and symptoms of Vitamin B2 deficiency?

• Anaemia
• Mouth or lip sores
• Skin complaints
• Sore throat
• Swelling of mucous membranes

Vitamin B3 helps by:

Producing energy from food (sugars & fats)

Research:
(www.arthritis.org)
Preliminary studies suggest a type a Vit B3 (nicotinamide) may improve Osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms and reduce the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) by suppressing inflammation.

(www.parkinsons.org.uk)
Researchers have discovered that Nicotinamide ribosome, a form of Vitamin B3, may boost energy levels in nerve cells and help prevent them being lost in Parkinson’s.

Vitamin B6 helps the body to:

• Make Antibodies required to fight infection and diseases
• Maintain normal nerve function
• Make haemoglobin which carries oxygen in the red cells to the tissues
• Break down proteins. The more protein eaten the more B6 required.
• Helps to keep blood sugar (glucose) in normal ranges.

What are some of the signs and symptoms of Vitamin B6 deficiency?

• Skin rashes (seborrhoeic dermatitis)

Vitamin C is a strong Antioxidant. Antioxidants are nutrients that block some of the damage caused by free radicals.

• Free radicals are made when your body breaks down food or when you are exposed to tobacco smoke or radiation.
• Free radical buildup over time is largely responsible for the ageing process.
• Free radicals may play a role in cancer, heart disease and conditions like arthritis.
