Beneficial intestinal microorganisms are a significant back-up source of B-12.

Pangamic Acid (B-15) (1mg)

Said to promote cellular utilization of oxygen. (Cancer displaces normal cellular oxygen utilization with a chemistry based upon fermentation of sugar.) Claimed to promote optimum oxygenation of living tissue and increases in energy. Involved in protein metabolism and muscle strength, particularly the heart. Supportive of nerves and glandular systems.

The richest natural sources enjoy strong reputations as effective health foods. These include whole brown rice, whole grains, nutritional yeast, apricot kernels (popular food of the long-lived Hunzas), pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, rice polish and rice bran. B-15 enjoys greater awareness and wide use in Europe and Russia - typically ignored and unused in USA.

Biotin (360mcg ~ 120%)

Essential for energy due to its involvement in the chain of processes to form ATP (the basic life-energy molecule) - Thus effecting all cells, organs and systems. Biotin is necessary for the utilization of other nutrients. Biotin is the most expensive common nutrient (sometimes costing more than all of the other B vitamins put together) and thus often missing or lacking in supplements and supplement foods - easily deficient in a typical supermarket diet. Beneficial intestinal bacteria are a significant source of biotin. Antibiotics, raw egg white and dieting aggravate deficiency.

Useful in cases of high cholesterol, lowered hemoglobin, muscle pain, dermatitis, grey skin pallor, depression, insomnia and low energy. These are often indicators of low biotin.

Graying, cowlicks and hair loss are also common first indicators of sub-optimal biotin levels. There may be other causes, however, if the cause is low biotin, then supplementation will help. Energy levels should increase proportionately at the same time.

Involved in nucleic acid synthesis, Biotin is important for utilization of proteins and for skin and muscle building - Important for fat burning and for athletic performance.

Choline (272mg)

(see Lecithin for additional information)

As a basic component of lecithin, choline is present in all living cells on earth. Thus it is of paramount importance to all of your cells, organs and body systems. Your body's requirement for choline is enormous. Because it is so bulky, it is left out of supplements and supplement foods.

Inositol (186mg)

(see Lecithin for additional information)

As a basic component of lecithin, inositol is present in all living cells on earth. Thus it is of paramount importance to all of your cells, organs and body systems. Your body contains a huge amount of inositol. Because it is so bulky, it is left out of supplements and supplement foods. Caffeine aggravates sub-optimal inositol performance. Caffeine is a proven cause of cancer and birth defects.

In separate studies, cells deprived of inositol became abnormal. Oxygen utilization was inhibited. Levels of nucleotide coenzymes lowered, membranes deformed and cells died. Inositol may be especially important for caffeine addicts wishing to avoid cancer or who are planning to have healthy babies. The obvious choice is to eliminate caffeine and eat sufficient inositol in the form of lecithin.

Folic Acid (Folacin) (520mcg ~ 130%)

Functions as an all-important co-enzyme in the use and reuse of proteins throughout the body. Critical to the formation of red blood cells and DNA effecting every cell in your body. Cells deprived of folic acid quickly developed serious chromosome breaks. Folic acid prevents chromosome breaks thus lowering the risk of cancer.

Especially important to accurate formation of the brain and spine in the fetus, and their proper functioning throughout life. Impacts every measure of mental performance and mental health.

Promotes vigorous digestion, limits intestinal parasites and reduces impact of food poisoning. Beneficial intestinal bacteria are a significant source of folic acid.

Folic acid is perhaps the most common deficiency in the typical modern, supermarket diet. A World Health Organization report indicates that up to half of all pregnant women experience folic acid deficiency. Age, smoking, stress, antibiotics, disease, cortisone, alcohol, pregnancy, dieting, medications and oral contraceptives aggravate deficiency. Birth defects forming during the first days/weeks of pregnancy are an unfortunate common indicator of deficiency. Countless victims of birth defects owe their condition to governmental and medical authorities (in Europe and the USA) whose reluctance to acknowledge even this one nutrient led to a decade of misinformation and ghastly studies with diets knowingly depriving pregnant women of folic acid to study this nutrients effect on the formation of their infants' brains and spines. Slow development and poor learning ability of the child are found with less severe deficiencies during pregnancy.

Folic acid is helpful in bringing pregnancy to full term, reducing anemia and limiting afterbirth hemorrhaging.

Folic acid is useful with fatigue, weakness, cardiovascular problems, stomach ulcers, menstrual problems, irritability, cramps, poor vision, cold hands and feet, anemia, leg ulcers, mental retardation, poor circulation and premature graying of hair. Aids in the production of pantothenic acid.

PABA (Para-aminobenzoic acid) (11mg)

Occurs only in combination with folic acid as a vitamin within a vitamin. Functions in utilization of proteins. Enables beneficial intestinal bacteria to produce folic acid.

Regarded as useful for parasitic diseases, fatigue, depression, irritability, baldness, gray hair, constipation, and to soothe burn pain. Enthusiasts claim it delays wrinkles and aging of skin. Whole grains are a rich source.

It is important to keep intake in balance with other B-vitamins and thus below 30 mg.
