Dia daoibh.
Today I'm here with more of a lifestyle post. I've been trying out the Nutrilite Vitamin B Plus supplements for the past month and wanted to let you know about them in case you're on the hunt for a good B Vitamin supplement. First off, why do we need B vitamins in our diet you might ask. There are many benefits, but the main ones include energy production, a healthy nervous system, good digestion and healthy skin, hair and nails. Without the B-group vitamins, the body lacks energy, so by taking a supplement such as the Nutrilite Vitamin B Plus, it will help the body to use carbohydrates, fats and protein for fuel.
Now, on to the Nutrilite Vitamin B Plus supplements themselves. Although the packaging leaves a lot to be desired, in my opinion, the vitamins inside are actually of high quality. The one thing, in particular, that interested me was the concept of instant and slow release.
As you will see from the above image, the tablets are dual layered. The dark layer gives an instant release. It provides a boost of two vitamins - Vitamin B12 and B2 to the body in less than one hour. The second, lighter green layer gives an extended release. It provides the body with six more B vitamins over a period of eight hours. This way, all eight essential B Vitamins are released to the body at the optimal time.
One Nutrilite Vitamin B Plus tablet contains all eight B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12) at levels of 100% of the Daily Value. B Vitamins are water-soluble which means any excess will be excreted through the urine.
Although I have mentioned energy in this post, I do want to point out, however, that taking a B complex vitamin will not create heightened alertness or energy the way coffee or energy drinks might. This is a misconception that I had myself before this post. However, if you lead a hectic of stressful life, chances are, you may not be getting enough of all eight B Vitamins in your diet, so a supplement like this is ideal for ensuring you do. This is the reason I am very happy to include these supplements as part of my daily routine. I take one tablet every single morning so that I know each day I am guaranteed to be getting 100% of the recommended intake of B Vitamins.
The Nutrilite Vitamin B Plus tub as pictured above, contains 60 tablets, which is a two month supply, as you only need one day. It's priced at €21.50 and available exclusively from Amway >HERE<.
