Many health experts have constantly recommended (and reminded) people to enhance their nerve health with the help of vitamins B1 (thiamin), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin). After all, your nerves are similar to “cables” that deliver signals to each other. As a result, you are able to move your muscles, use your senses, digest food, breathe, and sweat, among others.
Find out how vitamins B1, B6, and B12 work in your body, their roles in providing Total Nerve Care, and why your nerves’ demands for these nutrients should be fulfilled as frequently as possible. Plus, learn how supplements like Vitamin B-Complex + Vitamin E, Multivitamin (Neurogen E®) help deliver your body’s daily B vitamin requirements.
Why Your Nerves Need a Constant Supply of B Vitamins
Did you know that there are numerous findings linking B vitamins to benefits for both your nerves and your overall health? Here’s a list that highlights why your nerves constantly need nourishment with B vitamins:
1. Assists with nerve regeneration: Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 have actually all been linked to the process of nerve regeneration. This means that all three B vitamins contribute in some way to the regrowth or healing of nerves, especially those that have been damaged. In particular, vitamin B12 has been heavily linked to nerve regeneration by encouraging the survival of nerve cells.
2. Plays key roles in the metabolism of materials needed by the nerves: For instance, vitamin B1 helps metabolize carbohydrates that act as the main energy source for nerves found throughout the body. Meanwhile, vitamin B6 helps metabolize amino acids and neurotransmitters needed by the nerves to send signals.
3. Helps shield the nerves against oxidative stress: Once vitamin B1 is able to effectively metabolize the carbohydrates needed by the nerves, it may help lessen pain sensations in the body and decrease “hyperexcitability” in the nerves.
4. Aids in the generation and maintenance of the nerves’ myelin sheath: This is a protective covering or layer surrounding the cells that house the nerves. Vitamin B12 may both help with remyelination, or the regeneration of myelin sheaths, and assist in keeping these protective layers healthy and strong.
5. Assists in nerve recovery: Although it is advisable that you boost your nerve health before they become at risk for pain and discomfort, B vitamins may assist in restoring their health should they be compromised. As a group, B vitamins may help target inflammation present in the nerves and ultimately start the process of nerve regeneration.
Harness the Power of Vital B-Vitamins and More With This Supplement
Don’t wait until it is too late to prioritize nourishing the nerves with vitamins B1, B6, and B12. Filipino adults are advised to follow the Daily Recommended Nutrient Intakes for these three B vitamins, as highlighted in the Philippine Dietary Reference Intakes (PDRI):
| Male | Female | |
| Vitamin B1 | 1.2 mg | 1.1 mg |
| Vitamin B6 | 1.3 mg (adults aged 19 to 49 years old) 1.7 mg (male adults 50 years old and above) 1.6 mg (female adults 50 years old and above) | |
| Vitamin E | 10 mg α-TE | |
While you can get your daily vitamin B doses from options such as whole grains, eggs, beans, oranges, avocados, chicken, pork, and beef, these may not be enough, especially on days when you aren’t able to pay attention to your diet.
This is where a supplement like Vitamin B-Complex + Vitamin E, Multivitamin (Neurogen E®) can come in and help ensure you’re getting enough B vitamins daily.
