B-complex

The vitamin B complex includes a total of 8 vitamins: folic acid, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, niacin, and biotin.

They all have different structures and perform different functions in the body. Nevertheless, they interact like gears, complement each other in their functions, and are closely interconnected.

For the vitamins to work optimally in the body, it is important to consume the entire vitamin B complex in sufficient amounts!

Energy and strong nerves
As components of coenzymes, B vitamins play a role in “energy production from food.”

Vitamins B1, B2, B6, and B12 contribute to normal energy metabolism and support the normal function of the nervous system. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) plays a role in maintaining normal mental performance.

Blood formation and immune system
Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to the normal formation of red blood cells, which are responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. They also support the normal function of the immune system.

Vitamin B9 (folic acid) plays a role in cell division and is involved in the process of blood formation.

Folic Acid During Pregnancy
Folic acid is an essential vitamin and plays a role in cell division. It supports the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy. Folic acid is also needed for the development of the fetus.

IMPORTANT: A low folic acid level in the mother is a risk factor for the development of neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Therefore, additional folic acid intake is strongly recommended from the time of conception and during early pregnancy to support the healthy development of the embryo. All women wishing to conceive are advised to ensure adequate folic acid intake at least four weeks before conception.
Even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the need is significantly increased.

Heart Function
Folic acid, together with vitamins B6 and B12, contributes to the maintenance of normal heart function.
Homocysteine is an intermediate product in amino acid metabolism.
Vitamin B1 also contributes to normal heart function.

What is the advantage of DEPOT tablets?
An unbalanced diet often leads to inadequate intake of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. The body can only store certain vitamins and minerals to a limited extent. This includes water-soluble vitamins such as vitamins C, B1, B2, and B6.

As a result, large amounts of vitamin C consumed all at once may not be fully absorbed and are excreted again, meaning that the body may not have access to this vitamin when under stress.

The DEPOT tablets from Doppelherz are designed as a kind of “nutrient reservoir” using a specially developed manufacturing process. From this “nutrient reservoir,” the nutrients are gradually released over several hours and are made available to the body continuously.

Causes of Inadequate Vitamin B Intake
As diverse as the functions of B vitamins are, the causes of inadequate vitamin B intake can also vary greatly.

Naturally, our diet has a major impact on the body’s nutrient supply. An unbalanced and one-sided diet, long-term dieting, or specific eating behaviors in older age — where certain foods are often no longer well tolerated or consumed — can contribute to an insufficient supply of vitamin B.

Moreover, the body can only absorb a limited amount of B vitamins at one time, and they are not stored for long. For example, if large amounts of vitamin B1 are consumed at once, the body excretes a portion unused.

It is especially important for vegetarian and vegan diets to ensure that vitamins usually found in animal products are adequately replaced with plant-based sources. One particularly critical nutrient in this context is vitamin B12, which is found almost exclusively in animal-based foods.

During food processing, such as peeling, many vitamins are also lost. In addition, B vitamins are sensitive to heat, preservatives, and long cooking times. High sugar intake, tea, and coffee can also deplete vitamin B.

Stressful factors such as stress, increased demands at work and in personal life, or high levels of physical activity like sports can increase the body's need for vitamin B. Another reason for increased vitamin B requirements can be pregnancy.

With just 1 DEPOT tablet of Doppelherz B-Complex, you cover the daily requirement of all 8 essential B vitamins, including folic acid and biotin.

Vitamin B Complex – Which Foods Contain B Vitamins?
The group of B vitamins includes 8 vitamins, all of which serve as precursors for coenzymes. The numbering is no longer entirely consistent, as some substances were mistakenly classified as vitamins and later removed.

Although the remaining substances differ significantly, they all play an important role in energy production from our food and contribute to the energy metabolism of the body’s cells.

The following vitamins belong to the B complex:

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine):
  Thiamine-rich foods include plaice, tuna, sunflower seeds, grain products, and potatoes.
• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin):
  Riboflavin is found in large amounts in dried yeast, milk, egg yolk, and whole grain cereals.
• Vitamin B3 (Niacin):
  Niacin is found in protein-rich foods such as poultry, beef, fish, veal, and nuts. Peanuts, bread, and potatoes also supply the body with niacin.
• Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid):
  Pantothenic acid is found in foods such as meat, milk, mushrooms, legumes, whole grain cereals, nuts, peas, and avocados.
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine):
  Good sources of pyridoxine include meat, yeast, lentils, avocado, whole grain products, bananas, and Brussels sprouts.
• Vitamin B7 (Biotin):
  Due to its importance for skin and hair, biotin was formerly also known as vitamin H.
  Biotin-rich foods include yeast, beef liver, egg yolk, as well as soybeans, nuts, or unpolished rice.
• Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid / Folate / Pteroylglutamic Acid):
  Folic acid is abundant in leafy greens such as kale or broccoli, as well as asparagus, beetroot, and eggs.
• Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin):
  This vitamin is primarily found in animal-based foods such as liver, fish, egg yolk, milk, and cheese.
