What Is Vitamin B Complex?
Vitamin B complex is a groups of nutrients that are required by the body for many processes. They include B1 thiamine, B2 riboflavin, B3 niacin, B5 pantothenic acid, B6 pyridoxine, B7 biotin, B9 folate and B12 cobalamin.
What Is IV Vitamin B Complex?
IV vitamin B complex is vitamin B complex that is given in the vein to maximize its absorption and utilization by the body. Nutrients like vitamin B complex that are given in the veins have 100% absorption by the body. This is compared to those that are taken by mouth because they have around 50% absorption by the body. Giving vitamin B complex in the vein therefore ensures that 100% of it is absorbed and utilized by the body.
This is especially important for people who may not be getting enough B complex from their diet because of their medical conditions, dietary choices, alcohol use, medications or age. It is also useful for busy professionals, athletes and those recovering from illness.

IV Vitamin B Complex Therapy Benefits
The uses and benefits of IV vitamin B complex include the following:
Vitamin B complex helps people get enough B vitamins into their body
As a person ages, their ability to absorb vitamin B12 decreases because they don’t produce enough stomach acid to absorb it. The appetite for food also decreases with age which further reduces the B12 they get from their diet.
Persons taking medications to treat heartburn or reflux like proton pump inhibitors also have reduced B12 absorption because these medications reduce stomach acid. The diabetes medication Metformin can also decrease levels of B12 and B9.
Vegans and strict vegetarians may also develop B12 deficiency since it is obtained from animal sources like eggs, meat and dairy products.
Persons who may develop deficiencies of other B complex vitamins include those with celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, alcoholism, hypothyroidism, anorexia, those who have undergone some weight loss surgeries and those taking the diabetes medication Metformin (B12 and B9).
Vitamin B complex boosts mood
Low levels of vitamins B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin) have been linked to an increased risk of depression. Studies also suggest that B complex vitamins can boost the mood. They are also thought to help improve symptoms of depression and anxiety.
