Vitamin B Complex + Zinc

Vitamin B Complex + Zinc combines B-vitamins with zinc, and zinc is needed for many functions in the body. These include immunity, wound healing, digestion, reproduction, physical growth and mental development. Zinc supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood and adolescence, and it has some antioxidant properties too. It is also used to treat ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyper-activity Disorder) in children. In adults, zinc deficiency can cause loss of appetite, a poor sense of taste and smell, a tendency towards depression, white marks on the fingernails, frequent infections, low fertility and prostate problems. Mental problems, poor wound healing, a poor immune system, diarrhoea, mental lethargy, rough skin and weight loss may also occur.

B-vitamins are needed to release energy from food. They help keep the brain and nerves working well, and they help the body form healthy red blood cells in both children and adults. Children especially need them for healthy growth and development. In adults, B-vitamin deficiency causes profound fatigue and different kinds of neurologic problems. These may include weakness, poor balance, confusion, irritability, memory loss, nervousness, tingling of the limbs and loss of coordination. Other symptoms of vitamin B deficiency are sleep disturbances, nausea, poor appetite, frequent infections and skin lesions.
