Vitamin B complex and vitamin C are both water-soluble vitamins and are contained in different foods. Vitamin B complexes are indispensable when cells carry out metabolism; during the process of metabolizing carbohydrates, proteins and fats, vitamin B complexes are used as coenzymes to help produce energy. The normal functioning of the nervous system also relies on vitamin B complex to produce hormones and transmit nerve messages.
The body generally does not store water-soluble vitamins, so they must be taken in regularly to replenish what the body needs. Different situations may increase the body’s demand for vitamin B complexes. For example, if daily dietary intake is not enough, and when faced with stress, the demand for vitamin B complexes will increase. In addition, excessive drinking of alcohol will also hinder the absorption and effectiveness of vitamin B complex, especially vitamin B1 and folic acid. Various types of stress, including emotional stress or people with smoking/drinking habits, will cause the body to increase the secretion of vitamin C, and the required intake will also increase. Studies have found that consuming vitamin C has many benefits for the body, such as its antioxidant properties that help the body resist the damage caused by pollutants and second-hand smoke.
