Pantothenic acid is released from food by a
series of enzyme reactions in the small
intestines. It is then absorbed into the
circulatory system and transported to tissues.
Riboflavin (vitamin B-2) &
Biotin (vitamin B-8)
Riboflavin aids in the metabolism of carbohydrates
Essential for production of red blood cells
Aids health of skin and eyes
Biotin is absorbed, unchanged, in the small intestines
It is distributed to all tissues, which is important to the
metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates.
Vitamin B-6 &
Vitamin B-12
Vitamin B-6 helps to metabolize Protein
Helps to maintain brain function and Nervous System
Also helps to form red blood cells
Vitamin B12 is a complex Coenzyme whose approximate
General formula is:
C61-64 H84-90 N14 O13-14 PCo
