Your body can handle stress in small doses, but ongoing stress can have serious consequences for your sleep, blood pressure, fertility and immune system, mood balance and more.
Balancing all the demands of modern life can be challenging. Things like a healthy diet, relaxation techniques, exercise and good quality sleep can help to keep your stress levels in check, but these are often overlooked when life becomes too demanding.
B vitamins are essential for general wellbeing and stress management. There are 8 different B vitamins and each has a specific function in the body, including supporting energy production, vision and skin health, and a healthy nervous system.
While there are foods rich in B vitamins, including wholegrain cereals, eggs, nuts and fresh vegetables, the body has a limited ability to store these vitamins.
WHAT ARE ACTIVATED B VITAMINS?
The human body needs to activate vitamins in order to utilise them efficiently. Because B vitamins are water soluble, they are transient, with little time to be absorbed before the body flushes them out. Many people lack the co-factors to convert B vitamins into the necessary active form which inhibits absorption. Activated vitamins are in an active methylated form that the body identifies, allowing for superior absorption and usage.
• Activated vitamin B6 plays an important role in supporting a balanced mood, while supporting energy levels and helping support your body’s immune function.
• Activated vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for the normal growth and function of all cells, including nerve and red blood cells. B12 also assists in the management of iron absorption, supports energy production and the production of DNA.
