The body not only needs specific nutrients to combat stress, but it must also replace the nutrients that stress directly uses up. Deficiency can cause fatigue, anxiety and poor hair and nail condition. The B vitamins are commonly associated with: • stress • nervousness • anxiety • cardiovascular system • energy • skin, hair and nails • immune system The B vitamins help to regulate metabolic functions. Taking B vitamins to supplement your diet can help prepare our systems for coping with stress-related factors in our lives. The B vitamins are water-soluble and are not stored in the body. This means that they are needed on a daily basis in order for the body to maintain healthy levels. Any excess is excreted in the urine.
