Vitamin B-1, or thiamin, helps your body convert food into energy. Your brain depends on vitamin B-1 to metabolize glucose, and your nerves need it to function properly. Vitamin B-6 actives enzymes responsible for producing energy, neurotransmitters, red blood cells and white blood cells that support the immune system. Vitamin B-12 helps convert homocysteine into S-adenosylmethionine, or SAMe, which is essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin and vitamins.
Vitamin B-complex deficiencies; neuritis, polyneuritis, diabetic neuritis, neuralgia, lumbalgia, sciatica, intercostal and trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral neuroparalysis, arthralgia and myalgia.
Do not take this product if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Do not take more than 100 milligrams of vitamin B-6 daily. Slow-release potassium supplements and medications used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease may interfere with your body’s ability to absorb vitamin B-12. Extra calcium may improve its absorption, but talk to your healthcare provider about your vitamin needs if you take medications.
Vitamins B-1 and B-12 aren’t known to cause side effects, whether you get them through your diet or take supplements. Vitamin B-6 from foods won’t cause problems, but taking a large dose of supplemental B-6 can cause pain and numbness in your arms and legs.
