Vitamin Information

Vitamins are essential nutrients that our bodies require to survive. Essential means that our bodies either cannot create these nutrients at all or we make them in greatly insufficient amounts therefore they must be consumed through diet or through supplementation. The vitamins we help provide at Replenish are a variety of B-vitamins and ascorbic acid, more commonly known as Vitamin C.

 

B-vitamins are a class of water-soluble vitamins that all play important roles in cellular metabolism, production of energy and the creation of red blood cells. They also all play roles as antioxidants within the body. Finally, each B vitamin plays it's own individual role (for more information click on the tabs below). There are eight B-vitamins in total, labeled as Vitamin B1-B12 or labelled with their individual names. A notable aspect of B-vitamins is that they are exceptionally safe for both consumption and supplementation.

You may see that there are missing some numbers, such as B4, B8, B10 and B11.  This is because the substances originally thought to be those vitamins were later discovered to not actually be vitamins and are now classified differently.
