Vitamines B - Immune Defense and Nervous System Support

Get your fill of essential B vitamins!

B-complex vitamins are a group of eight essential vitamins that play a vital role in many metabolic processes in the body. Notably, they are involved in energy production, protein synthesis, red blood cell formation, nervous system function, and heart health.

In this formula, they are combined with magnesium in a bioactive form which acts as a co-factor to enhance their absorption. 

B-group vitamins are normally provided by our diet. However, modern production and consumption methods can lead to lower quality or reduced intake. Supplementation may therefore be necessary, as well as for individuals at risk of deficiency due to their diet (vegetarians or vegans) and/or age.

The B Vitamins complex: for whom? For what?

In accordance with health claims approved by EFSA*, B vitamins are necessary, in particular for:

• Immune defenses: Vitamins B6, B9 (folates), and B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system. 
• Energy production and reduction of fatigue: B-group vitamins are involved in numerous biological processes, notably in supporting normal energy-yielding metabolism. An intake of certain B-complex vitamins, such as vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B5 (pantothenate), B6, B9 (folates), and B12, helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Psychological functions, nervous system, intellectual performance: Vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B5 (pantothenate), B6, B8 (biotin), B9 (folates), and B12 all contribute to the normal functioning of our nervous system. Furthermore, most of them (B1, B3, B6, B8, B9, B12) are recognized for helping us maintain normal psychological functions. Finally, vitamin B5 is specifically noted for contributing to normal mental performance and normal neurotransmitter production.
• Cardiovascular system: Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to normal red blood cell formation, and folates (vitamin B9) are involved in normal blood formation and the normal bodily metabolism of homocysteine, an essential amino acid whose excess can lead to cardiovascular risks. In addition, vitamin B1 (thiamine) specifically contributes to normal heart function.
• Skin and hair: B-group vitamins play an essential role in the maintenance of normal skin and hair, especially vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), and B8 (biotin).
• Vision: Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.

Furthermore, supplementation may be necessary in case of nutritional deficiencies: people following certain diets, particularly those low in animal products, and certain population groups, such as the elderly, may be deficient in B-group vitamins, especially vitamin B12.

The Djform tip:

We recommend doing a magnesium cure in combination with B vitamins:

• Vitamin B6 in particular promotes the body's utilization of magnesium;
• Magnesium itself participates in the activation of certain B vitamins, notably B6, which is involved in energy production;
• Magnesium and B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9, and B12) work together to support energy metabolism, converting carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins into ATP (the energy molecule)—a combination that helps reduce fatigue as part of an adequate intake.

Combine 3 capsules of Mag 4 Fort per day to be taken with each meal, along with 1 capsule of Vitamines B taken with one of the 3 meals.

Djform quality:

Djform has selected a complex composed of all B vitamins of optimal quality, highly assimilable, and combined with magnesium bisglycinate for high bioavailability, facilitating their absorption.

Did you know?

Behind the catchy name of naturally sourced B vitamins lie vitamins that are not quite so natural.

They are only partially derived from buckwheat or quinoa. Buckwheat and quinoa seeds are placed in a nutrient medium composed of water-soluble synthetic B vitamins. Like sponges, these seeds absorb these synthetic vitamins, which allows the final product to cover 100% of the recommended daily allowances (RDAs) for all B-group vitamins (which would not be the case with a natural extract covering only 7 to 39% of RDAs). This also explains the presence of vitamin B12, which is absent in seeds of plant origin. It is important to remember that vitamin B12 is not naturally present in the plant kingdom.

These B-vitamin complexes are only partially of natural origin, representing between 7 and 39% of their composition. This means that 61 to 93% of the B vitamins are of synthetic origin. The major issue is that this information is not specified, nor are the exact names of the synthetic B vitamins used. For example, for vitamin B12, is it methylcobalamin (the active form) or cyanocobalamin (the inactive form containing cyanide)?

This is why Djform has transparently chosen to offer you a B-vitamin complex of synthetic origin but provided in their bioactive forms—meaning forms naturally present in nature, as they are particularly well-assimilated.

The pullulan plant-based capsules are derived from sugar cane and are suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based diets.

Why did we choose pullulan capsules for our Djform products?

The "HPMC vegetable capsule" is only vegetable in name! Behind a marketing facade, the HPMC plant capsule actually contains chemical residues. To continually offer you the highest quality products possible, DJFORM uses pullulan capsules, which are suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. Instead of non-digestible wood cellulose found in HPMC-type vegetable capsules, pullulan capsules are food products derived from sugar cane that our bodies can digest.
