As co-enzymes, the B vitamins are essential components in most major metabolic reactions. They play an
important role in energy production, including the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. B vitamins
are also important for blood cells, hormones, and nervous system function. As water-soluble substances, B
vitamins are not generally stored in the body in any appreciable amounts. Thiamin and riboflavin are all
essential coenzymes in energy production. Thiamin is converted quickly into thiamin pyrophosphate, which is
required for glycolytic and Krebs cycle reactions. Thiamin also appears to be related to nerve impulse
transmission. Riboflavin is a component of the coenzymes FAD and FMN, which are intermediates in many
redox reactions, including energy production and cellular respiration reactions. Vitamin B-6 is a coenzyme in
amino acid metabolism. It is necessary for the metabolism of homocysteine and the conversion of tryptophan
into niacin. Vitamin B-6 dependent enzymes are also needed for the biosynthesis of many neurotransmitters,
including serotonin, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Pantothenic acid is a component of coenzyme A and of
phosphopantetheine, and is therefore essential for Krebs cycle operation. Vitamin A (retinol) is a fat-soluble
vitamin essential for vision, growth, reproduction, cell division, and the integrity of the immune system. Zinc is
an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways. General signs of human zinc
deficiency indicate that zinc has important functions in maintaining immune function, reproduction, healthy
skin, and growth. Adrenal and spleen glandulars are added to for their supportive roles in stress management
and immune health.
INDICATIONS- may be a useful dietary supplement for individuals wishing to support normal adrenal health
and stress management.
