Now Foods B-100 is a dietary supplement containing a complex of B vitamins, which support the functioning of the whole organism. It effectively supplements vitamin deficiencies, regenerates the nervous system, improves energy processes, strengthens the blood, regulates a cholesterol level and has a positive effect on many other things, equally important for maintaining the health and functions of the body's homeostasis.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) – a water-soluble vitamin, plays an essential role in cellular respiration, primarily in the metabolism of carbohydrates, which is involved in the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid – the product of glycolysis and simultaneously the substrate in the Krebs cycle. Thiamine is a component of carboxylase coenzyme – thiamine pyrophosphate, which is the active form of vitamin B1. It stimulates the action of acetylcholine – an important neurotransmitter responsible, among others, for skeletal muscle contraction and for the functions of memory and attention. It also enhances the secretion of gonadotropin hormones from the anterior lobe of pituitary – LH and FSH – which are involved in the production of sex hormones and provide reproductive capacity. Thiamine deficiency leads to impaired functioning of the central nervous system, thus causing weakness, fatigue, impaired memory, concentration and depression.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) – a water-soluble vitamin, which plays an important role in biological oxidation reactions leading to the production of energy, where it is a precursor of two main coenzymes-nucleotides: FNN and FAD, which are also its active form. Riboflavin cooperate to ensure the proper functioning of the nervous system and cooperates with vitamin A for the proper functioning of the sight, mucous membranes in the respiratory tract, the epithelium of the blood vessels, and gastrointestinal tract. A deficiency of vitamin B2 can cause inflammations of the mucous membranes, functional disorders of the nervous system, blurred vision, corneal damage and eyeballs, and also muscular dystrophy.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) – also known as vitamin PP, exists in two forms: nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. It participates in the metabolism of energy substrates: carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids, leading to the release of energy, which is part of the coenzymes NAD and NADP. It plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol in the blood. By blocking the breakdown of fats in a fat tissue, it leads to a reduction in LDL (called "bad cholesterol") and the amount of free fatty acids in the blood, and of total cholesterol, and thereby it increases the level of HDL (called "good cholesterol"). Meta-analysis of clinical trials have shown that vitamin B3 significantly reduces the incidence of atherosclerosis and coronary artery diseases. Some doctors successfully use higher doses of niacin in the treatment of schizophrenia, depression and alcohol addiction.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) – a water-soluble vitamin occuring in six forms, which are enzymatically converted to pyridoxal phosphate – a biologically active vitamin B6. It is a precursor of important co-enzymes, which are involved in many essential biochemical reactions. It is essential for the synthesis of amino acids, hemoglobin (red blood pigment) and above all neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline. It relieves the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, enables a proper functioning of the nervous system, however has been proved that it reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease and shows a positive effect on a behavior of children with autism. It facilitates the absorption of magnesium in the gastrointestinal tract.

Folic acid – also known as vitamin B9 and B11, which is synthesized by the intestinal bacteria. The active form of folic acid levomefolic acid (5-MTHF), playing an essential role in DNA synthesis (such as those controlling the growth and functioning of cells), cysteine metabolism, the production of important neurotransmitters (dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin), and it enables conversion of homocysteine to methionine. It stimulates hematopoietic processes through its participation in the formation of red blood cells (erythrocytes).

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) – a water-soluble vitamin, it regulates the production of red blood cells (erythrocytes), and its deficiency causes anemia. It is an essential coenzyme in the methylation processes in the organism. It takes part in the reaction of methylation of homocysteine to methionine, in energy transformations, and regulates a proper functioning of the nervous system – among others it is involved in the production of the myelin sheath, which has protective functions with relation to the nerve cells.

Biotin (vitamin B7, vitamin H) – a water-soluble vitamin, produced by intestinal bacteria, as a coenzyme of the enzyme carboxylase, which means that it participates in the transmission of the carboxyl group on various organic compounds – among others in the process of gluconeogenesis, Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle), and the synthesis of a number of fatty acids. It supports thyroid functioning and influences the properties of skin and hair.

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) – after absorption it gets transformed, among others to a biologically active form – coenzyme A (CoA), which acts as a carrier of acyl groups in a number of important metabolic processes. It allows a correct course of energy production and supports a proper functioning of the nervous system, digestive system and circulatory system.

Choline – a water-soluble substance, consoder to be a vitamin due to its biological importance. It is a precursor of acetylcholine – a neurotransmitter responsible for memory functions, logical reasoning and ability to concentrate. It provides the methyl groups in the synthesis of betaine.

Inositol (vitamin B8) – called the fertility vitamin or the vitamin of happiness, it affects the nutrition of central nervous system cells, including the brain, and reduces a level of "bad" LDL cholesterol. Because of these properties, it is used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis. It also has a a calming effect – reduces blood pressure caused by stress.

PABA (vitamin B10) - para-amino benzoic acid belonging to the amino acids. It participates in the metabolism of proteins. It is used in ointments prevention against excessive UV radiation. It positively affects the structure of skin and hair.

In summary, Now Foods B-100 is a dietary supplement designed for each person to make up for deficiencies of B vitamins. It is especially recommended for athletes, who under the influence of a large amount of trainings weaken the neuromuscular system. The product should also be recommended for people living in the rush and constant stress, as well as for therapeutic purposes in various diseases, after a consultation with a specialist.
