B Vitamins, Seniors, and Added Benefits

I recently started taking B Vitamins, and boy they’re not kidding with the “energy boost” benefit in these guys! I’ve heard a lot about the benefits of B Vitamins for hair and nail health, but after looking more closely at the “benefits of the B’s,” I saw they were critical to supporting the health of the energy centers in our cells, the mitochondria.*

And the benefits of B Vitamins may extend beyond energy support to mood support as well. In a recent study published online ahead of print in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers noted that increased intake of Vitamins B6 and B12 correlated with a healthier mood in seniors.¹

More data is needed to establish a causative relationship, but, for me, energy levels and mood tend to go hand in hand.

Nutri-Health recently launched a clinically formulated eye-health product, Xanthalin, that is packed with B Vitamins. The product formula is based on a clinical study featuring specific B Vitamins and eye health antioxidants, and their affect on macular health (central vision).* Xanthalin supports healthy eyes, yes, but one of my favorite things about well-formulated supplements are the unexpected benefits, like a welcome energy boost!

It’s good to know the profile of all the nutrients in your supplements. Nutri-Health publishes an Active Ingredient Glossary on the website so you can read more about what those nutrients do.
