Among the different areas where you might consider supplementation, B Vitamins seem to be, in all of my experience, research and education, one of the most needed and potentially lacking groups of nutrients in the human body today in our modern world.
Evidence shows that levels of different B Vitamins, due to soil depletion, expedient commercial farming practices, and other issues, are especially lacking in our food sources. There could also be a case made which could assert that our modern world thrusts a bevy of high pressure, constant stress and stimulation which may create especially high need inside the body for additional assistance with various metabolic, methylation, and energy-related processes.
There are eight B vitamins which typically act as cofactors to assist with cellular function. Each one has different functions and characteristics:
— Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin)
— Vitamin B9 (folate or methylfolate)
— Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
— Vitamin B3 (niacin)
— Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
— Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
— Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
— Vitamin B7 (biotin)
In my view, these can be prioritized or categorized into different groups. For purposes of understanding these better and if/when to consider additional supplementation, I will group these into three categories: Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), Vitamin B9 (Folate), and Other B Vitamins.
It is important to know the tools available in your tool kit in order to achieve your health goals as quickly and effectively as possible.
