B-Complex: The B vitamins work synergistically and should be taken together. Overall healthful diet.
Although each of the B vitamins has its own unique role to play, as a group they work together synergistically. The B vitamins are used in almost all parts of the body. They are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, which provide energy, and fats and proteins, which help maintain a healthy nervous system. The B-complex vitamins are required for the production of hormones produced during times of stress. Our requirements for these vitamins go up when we are under emotional, physical, or spiritual stress. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and it is an immune-enhancing vitamin. Vitamin C is stored in high concentrations in the adrenal glands, and the need for this vitamin increases in times of stress.
The efficacy of supplementing with the B-complex vitamins and vitamin C for stress is supported by scientific research. Scientific evidence shows that the levels of B vitamins and vitamin C in our adrenal glands are depleted during times of stress, and that the adrenal glands require a constant supply of these vitamins to produce the stress-response hormones. Taking a B-complex supplement plus vitamin C supports the adrenal glands and helps us to deal with daily stress.
No side effects expected at recommended dosage.

The body’s response to stress includes the release of hormones that suppress the immune system; therefore, optimal nutrition is essential to maintain immune function during times of stress.
