Vitamin B
Description: A group of water soluble vitamins which includes Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Panthothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Folic Acid, Biotin and Cobalamin. B complex is a balanced form of vitamin B supplementation.
Action: B vitamins are cofactors for a number of important biological processes including energy production and carbohydrate metabolism. They are important in maintaining a positive environment for neural regenerative efforts.
Cautions: B vitamins are water soluble so that any excess is merely eliminated in the urine.
Deficiency: Thiamin is destroyed by the enzyme thiaminase present in uncooked fish. Thiamin deficiencies can occur in cats fed an all-fish diet rather than a balanced diet. Vitamin B12 is mostly found in animal foods, thus vegetarians may wish to supplement their diet with B12.
