Curcuma & B vitamins – harmonious duo for balance in stressful times

Anonymous

General

In a fast-moving world in which we are often physically and mentally challenged, it is becoming increasingly important to support our bodies in a natural way. Holistic approaches usually aim to initiate noticeable changes with small impulses. Since everything in our body is connected to everything else, combinations of cleverly coordinated individual substances often prove to be particularly helpful.

A good example is the combination of Curcuma with B-Vitamines – a wonderful mixture that harmonizes not only in terms of color.

The nerve vitamins biotin, vitamin B2, B3 and B61 are trend-setting, but also the skin and mucous membrane care effects of biotin, vitamin B2 and B32. How does it all fit together?

Small Impulses for Big Challenges

In order to cope with the many challenges of our everyday lives, it is crucial to give the body the nutrients it needs to stay in balance. A balanced intake of B vitamins can help to generate energy³, reduce tiredness and fatigue⁴ and support the metabolism⁵in many ways. Together, all of these micronutrients help us to stay naturally balanced and productive.

Curcuma – the golden treasure

Curcuma,Turmeric, also known as turmeric root, comes from South Asia, where it has been valued in traditional health teachings for thousands of years. As a single spice and an integral part of curry, turmeric has also found its way into health-conscious cuisine here. Its most important ingredient is curcumin. The naturally intensely yellow substance is difficult to dissolve in water, which means that the intestines cannot absorb it so easily. A clever combination can help here: Piperine from black pepper significantly improves the absorption of curcumin. This combination can be used in the kitchen as well as in food supplements.

B-vitamins – valuable helpers with great potential

B vitamins form a diverse group of essential micronutrients. These include riboflavin (vitamin B2), which is also known for its characteristic yellow color, and biotin, which many people know from skin care products. Other important representatives are niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). All of these B vitamins are involved in many different metabolic processes and play an important role for example in the nerves and psyche.

Together, vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6 and biotin support energy metabolism³. This gives us valuable energy for our everyday lives. In addition, vitamins B2, B3, B5 and B6 help to reduce tiredness and fatigue⁴ – and thus help us to get through the day feeling fresh and alert.

When it comes to skin²and hair⁶, most people probably think of biotin first. But biotin is not alone in its skin-care effects: Vitamins B2 and B3 also contribute to maintaining normal skin². The mucous membrane-care effect of these three B vitamins² is particularly interesting, and the huge mucous membrane surface of our intestines also benefits from this. The intestines are not only important for metabolism, digestion and excretion, but are also known to influence the immune system⁷ and psyche1; this brings us full circle to the B vitamins.

Hand in hand for body & mind – effect more together

In a healthy body, there is a harmonious balance between building and breaking down processes. The metabolism is a highly complex system that controls numerous processes such as the absorption of nutrients, digestion and energy production. The nervous system and the brain not only need a continuous supply of energy and new messenger substances, but also a smooth breakdown of the used substances in order to work efficiently.

In my experience, B vitamins - preferably in combination with high-quality, highly concentrated turmeric - can support the body in many of these areas. Turmeric has been known for a long time and is valued in various cultures. B vitamins play a role in energy production³, metabolism⁵ and the nervous system¹. They also influence our ability to think⁸ and our psyche¹.

Together with tumeric clevery combinated B vitamins can make a valuable contribution to our general well-being and a healthy lifestyle.

Dietary supplements: qualiy counts

Especially in stressful times, when the body and mind are particularly stressed, it can be useful to resort to nutritional supplements with B-vitamins . With the large selection of products, it is important to look closely. If you really want to do something good for your body, you should pay attention to the purity of the ingredients (such as organic-tumeric) and the avoidance of harmful fillers. With pure substance-based products, micronutrients can be supplied in their purest form - without any unwanted additives.
