STRESS & YOUR HEALTH

Stress of all kinds can take a toll on your health. Stress uses up all your B complex Vitamins so that you can't withstand any stress at all. Another way stress affects you is to stop your digestion and thereby prevent you being able to absorb any nutrients from your foods. The B complex vitamins, ( B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, choline, inositol, PABA, and biotin) can help prevent stress and give you the stamina & nutrients you need to resist any further stress. The B complex vitamins always work best in a balanced complement, exactly as they are in the Complete Vitamins- Plus.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is often called the "stress vitamin" because it is essential for the adrenal glands to produce their hormones. Healthy & fully functioning adrenal glands support a healthy body that can withstand stress. A deficiency of B5 can also lead to Depression , Fatigue, and even Insomnia. Chromium is an important mineral for helping to overcome the effects of stress, mainly because it helps to prevent the dangerous drops in blood sugar that often accompany stress and stress reactions.
