Nature's Own Vitamin B Complex will give you all eight recognised B vitamins and vitamin C. What do the B vitamins do? May help maintain normal nerve function May contribute to the digestion and metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates May promote healthy skin, hair, brain and nerve function The B vitamins work most effectively when taken together. Vitamin C aids the absorption of the B vitamins without reducing your body's own vitamin C reserves. Why might you choose to take Vitamin B Complex + Vitamin C? If you have a demanding lifestyle with irregular eating patterns If you consume large amounts of sugar, coffee, tea and alcohol If you or your children prefer sugar and junk food If you are taking antibiotics.
