What makes b-optima special?
1. B-Optima contains a complex of B vitamins, namely: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, biotin and folate.
2. It also contains lesser-known, yet very necessary for the body ingredients such as choline, inositol, and dimethylglycine (DMG).
3. The chemical forms of the vitamins, viz: calcium L-methylfolate, methylcobalamin, pyridoxalo-5-phosphate (P-5-P), 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, D-biotin, nicotinic acid amide, thiamine hydrochloride and calcium D-pantothenate.
4. TWO chemical forms of vitamin B12 are used, which helps the normal functioning of the nervous system and aids in the normal production of red blood cells.
5. B-Optima contains a nucleotide concentrate.
Enrich your diet with B vitamins and feel the difference!
B vitamins play an important role in many metabolic processes:
• They support the proper functioning of the immune system (folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12) and the nervous system (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, biotin, vitamins B6 and B12).
• Helping to maintain normal psychological functions (thiamine, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12, biotin, folic acid).
• Influences energy levels: contributes to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism, thus helping to reduce feelings of fatigue and tiredness (vit. B12, B6, niacin, riboflavin).
• Helps maintain healthy skin (biotin, niacin).
• Helps protect cells from oxidative stress (riboflavin, vit. B12).
• Helps maintain normal homocysteine metabolism (Vitamins B6, B12, folic acid).
• Pantothenic acid contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters, and helps maintain mental performance at a normal level.
• Folic acid helps in the normal production of blood and synthesis of amino acids.
Nucleotides in B-Optima
Nucleotides are the building blocks for nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). From an evolutionary point of view, the diet of primitive man was rich in sources of nucleic acids, nucleotides and nucleosides, such as the parenchymal organs and intestines of animals. Therefore, their endogenous synthesis, which is time-consuming and energy-intensive, has always been supported by exogenous food sources.
Nowadays, humans no longer consume a diet rich in nucleic acids, so nucleotides can be used in the form of dietary supplements to supplement the daily diet with these components [1].
Briefly on dimethylglycine (DMG)
Dimethylglycine (DMG) commonly referred to as “vitamin B15” or pangamic acid, like methionine, SAMe, choline, betaine, is a carrier and donor of methyl groups needed for hundreds of biochemical reactions, e.g. synthesis of vital molecules and neurotransmitters [2]. Most research on this vitamin was conducted in the former USSR on animals and athletes.
