FUNCTIONS 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 support the vital roles they play in energy production, antioxidant suppor t and maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. †

As water -soluble substances, B vitamins are not generally stored in the body in any appreciable amounts (with the exception of vitamin B -12). Therefore, the body needs an adequate supply of B vitamins on a daily basis. Pantothenic acid, also known as vitamin B -5, is a coenzyme essential for energy production from dietary proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is a component of coenzyme A and of phosphopantetheine, and is therefore essential for Krebs cycle operation. †
