B Vitamins and Eye Health -- In The News

B Vitamins fall under the category of water-soluble vitamins. This means that they need to be consumed on a daily basis, as they don't have a long-term storage solution in our bodies. Not only that, but there are 11 different B vitamins.

As you can imagine, it can be a challenge to include all the B vitamins in your diet on a daily basis. B vitamins are used for creating some hormones, are needed for proper nerve function, to help convert food into energy, to create new red blood cells, are crucial in prenatal development, and are needed to support proper metabolism of fat and cholesterol, amongst other things. Busy B's, indeed.

Without adequate supply of B Vitamins, there are biological processes in our body that come to a screeching halt. Luckily our bodies are designed to deal with these setbacks for short periods of time, but now they are showing that supplementing the diet with B vitamins may be more beneficial than we realized.

MSNBC released an article today describing how researched showed that supplementation of B Vitamins helped reduce the risk of macular degeneration -- a condition of the eyes that can lead to a loss of vision.

So take a look at what you can do to support your eye health.

Mountain Naturals offers a B-Complex that contains all 11 B Vitamins, including the three types of B Vitamins (B6, Folic Acid, and B12) that were used in the macular degeneration study.
