Cardiovascular Health Several B vitamins enhance cardiovascular health. Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P) is the active metabolite of vitamin B6. Decreased levels of P5P have been associated with high homocysteine levels and therefore with Coronary Artery Disease. Vitamin B6 may o er protection against coronary heart disease. Folic acid as [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, Vitamins B2, and B12 have also been shown to lower homocysteine levels. People with high homocysteine and osteoporosis may reduce incidence of fractures by taking folic acid and vitamin B12. Folic acid may improve symptoms of peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication. Patients with diabetes treated with metformin may bene t from supplementation with folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B5 to improve circulation in the small arteries. Pantothenic acid (B5) can help reduce elevated cholesterol as well as raise HDL (the “good” cholesterol).
Nervous System & Emotional Health Many B vitamins are involved in nerve transmission, neurotransmitter synthesis, nerve regeneration, and other aspects of nervous system health. For instance, B1, B12, and B6 may help with diabetic neuropathy in certain populations. Some people with Alzheimer’s disease have bene ted from thiamin supplementation. Vitamin B12 can alleviate symptoms of depression in some people. Those with celiac disease might bene t from supplementation with B12, B6, and folic acid to help with depression. Choline, Inositol, and PABA are sometimes classi ed as B vitamins. Inositol has been used clinically to help those with anxiety and/or depression. Choline is a component of acetylcholine and lecithin, and also acts as a methyl donor.
