Pharmacology
Vitamin B1 converts carbohydrates, fatty acids, and amino acids into energy, promotes healthy nerves, improves mood, and strengthens the heart. Vitamin B6 forms RBCs, helps cells to make proteins, manufactures neurotransmitters like serotonin, releases stored forms of energy, helps prevent cardiovascular diseases and stroke, aids in alleviating depression, and eases insomnia. Vitamin B12 is essential for cell replication and is important for RBC production, prevents anemia, helps prevent depression, reduces nerve pain, numbness, tingling, and lowers the risk of heart diseases.

The vitamin ingredients are absorbed well through oral administration. They are widely distributed to most tissues and appear in breast milk. Within the cell, thiamine is mostly present as diphosphate. Thiamine is not stored in any appreciable amount in the body and amounts in excess of the body’s requirements are excreted in the urine as unchanged thiamine or as metabolites. Pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine are readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract following oral administration and are converted to the active forms of pyridoxal phosphate and pyridoxamine phosphate. They are stored mainly in the liver, where they are oxidized to 4-pyridoxic acid and other inactive metabolites, which are excreted in urine. As the dose increases, proportionally greater amounts are excreted unchanged in the urine.
