  The B vitamins help promote energy, maintain the nervous system, support immune functions and buffer the effects of stress. Notably, the B vitamins influence the health of most of the internal organs of the body. Vitamins can be obtained from the diet, but some of the vitamins, especially B and C vitamins, are easily lost or destroyed during cooking and processing. Liquid B vitamins may be essential for vegetarians since dietary sources of vitamin B12 are mostly foods of animal origin. |
