Vitamin B-12 Complex "Energy Balance"
The Role and Importance of B-Group Vitamins and Other Nutrients
**B-group vitamins** are a collection of water-soluble vitamins that play essential roles in various biochemical processes within the body. These vitamins are integral to converting food into energy, supporting the nervous system, assisting in red blood cell formation, and maintaining overall well-being. A balanced intake of B-vitamins helps support multiple bodily functions.
Key B-Vitamins and Their Functions
**1. Thiamine (Vitamin B1)**
-Thiamine is crucial for energy metabolism. It acts as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, facilitating the conversion of glucose into energy. Thiamine also supports neurotransmitter synthesis and helps maintain a healthy nervous system.
**2. Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)**
- Riboflavin is involved in numerous metabolic processes. It functions as a coenzyme in energy production by aiding in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Riboflavin helps convert these macronutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy currency of cells.
**3. Niacin (Vitamin B3)**
Niacin serves as a precursor to coenzymes NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), which are critical for energy metabolism and cellular redox reactions. Niacin also plays a role in DNA repair, gene expression, and cell signaling.
**4. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)**
Vitamin B6 is involved in over 100 enzymatic reactions, including amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. It supports the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, which are important for mood regulation and cognitive functions.
**5. Folate (Vitamin B9)**
Folate is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division. It plays a vital role in fetal development, helping to prevent neural tube defects during pregnancy and supporting proper brain development.
**6. Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)**
Vitamin B12 is crucial for nerve function, red blood cell production, and DNA synthesis. It is naturally found in animal products like meat, fish, and dairy. Vitamin B12 is important for maintaining nerve health and preventing certain types of anemia.
**7. Biotin (Vitamin B7)**
Biotin is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It supports healthy hair, skin, and nails and plays a role in enzyme function related to energy production.
**8. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)**
Pantothenic acid is vital for energy metabolism. It acts as a precursor for coenzyme A (CoA) synthesis, which is essential for metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Adequate levels of pantothenic acid contribute to overall metabolic function.
**9. Choline**
Choline is important for brain health and the synthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in memory, muscle control, and mood regulation. Choline is also essential for liver function.
**10. Inositol**
Inositol is involved in cell signaling and nerve transmission. Although the body can synthesize inositol, it is studied for its potential role in mood regulation and mental health.
Nutritional Benefits and Supplementation
Each B-vitamin and nutrient contributes uniquely to maintaining bodily functions. Consuming a balanced diet with a variety of foods rich in these vitamins and nutrients supports optimal health. Supplements containing B-group vitamins and additional nutrients can help fill any dietary gaps, ensuring that you receive the necessary amounts for maintaining overall well-being.
For those interested in incorporating these nutrients into their diet, understanding their roles and sources can guide effective supplementation and dietary choices.

Frequently asked questions
Why we are the best seller or Sea Moss?
There is so much bad information out there about sea moss gel, written and promoted by companies that sell their products who have created a false narrative. There is no FDA oversight on Sea Moss Gel, and we are trying to change that due to the overwhelming number of companies that do things the wrong way. Here's what set us apart from the bad guys:
1) IF YOUR GEL IS ARRIVING COLD, IT IS OLD STOCK AND POOR QUALITY! Most companies can't keep up with how labor intensive making sea moss gel is. There is no machine that makes it if it's real sea moss, and it has to be made by hand. Because of this, companies make their stock ahead of time and freeze it or keep it refrigerated. They pull their orders from this old stock, which means you're getting old gel. We make ours fresh for your order and immediately ship it. Since it wasn't cold in the first place, and it's fresh, it just needs to be refrigerated upon receipt. You will only get fresh and high quality sea moss from us.
2) WE USE REAL WILD HARVESTED SEA MOSS TO MAKE OUR PRODUCTS! Most companies use wildcrafted, or man-made sea moss to make their gel. You can tell because their gel is always the same texture. Real sea moss varies in texture and color, and you will never get the exact same jar of gel twice when real ingredients are used. We can provide certification to prove we use real sea moss to make our products. Additionally, to save money most other companies add heat to their sea moss to make their gel which allows them to use less moss to make more gel to increase their profit margins. Adding heat to sea moss diminishes the minerals and produces a very low quality product. It creates a consistent thick texture every single time, but it's doing nothing for your health. We never add heat and keep it pure.
3) WE DON'T JUNK UP THE GEL!
Most companies use syrups, dyes, artificial ingredients, and tons of sugar to make their gels taste great. They lie and say they don't and get away with it because there is no FDA oversight. We don't do that, and the way you can tell is that it's not going to taste amazing like Welch's Jelly and Jams. It never should. Sea moss gel is not supposed to be a tasty treat. This is the BIGGEST problem in our industry and how we separate ourselves from the competition. You will feel better taking our gel opposed to others.
Join us to help stop the misinformation of sea moss products and to stop the companies who produce a terrible product from doing business.
There are some good guys out there, but they are becoming harder to find every day because consumers are falling for the "sharks". Feel the difference by trying real sea moss. Know the difference by reading the information contained within our listings.

Where do you source your sea moss from?
St. Lucia. We source our sea moss from a sea moss farmer who harvests wild sea moss from the ocean. Our sea moss comes with a certificate from the Ministry of Agriculture in St. Lucia that certifies it is wild harvested. You can have confidence that our products are the real deal and that we do not use or advocate the use of sea moss grown in man-made environments or pools.
What is the shelf life of sea moss?
Raw sea moss is best used within 1 year. After 1 year, raw moss loses its effectiveness. Sea moss gel has a 30 day shelf life if once you receive it you keep it in the refrigerator. You can freeze sea moss gel for up to 6 months, however you would need to move it into a freezer safe container as glass has a high probability of breaking when frozen.
Do you use organic ingredients in your sea moss gel?
Yes, all of the ingredients are organic or all natural. We use alkaline water in our gels that don't contain fresh fruit. For our fresh fruit gels, we use spring water. All other ingredients are organic, including our herbs and fresh fruits. We only use organic agave nectar to sweeten those gels that indicate there is a sweetener used in the gel. There are no preservatives or additives in any of our gels.
Do you add heat to your sea moss to make gel?
Absolutely not. When you add heat to sea moss to make gel, not only does it diminish the minerals which make sea moss so great for us, but it also causes a chemical reaction that tells the sea moss to convert into carageenan. Carageenan is not good for you in large quantities, is high in carbohydrates, and it is no longer effective. Many people who sell sea moss will try to convince you that adding heat doesn't negatively effect the sea moss, but its basic chemistry that tells you otherwise. Companies who use heat to make their sea moss gel do so because it's more profitable for them.
Is raw sea moss supposed to have salt on it?
Yes, but it should be a fine powder and not iodized salt that is in large crystals like table salt. Anything that has salt water on it and is dried will have a layer of dried sea salt on it.
Do you ship overseas?
We currently sell products in the United States. Now we do not offer worldwide shipping.
What is the recommended daily dose of sea moss?
It's best to start small (1-2 tablespoons) and work your way up as your body gets used to it. But as always, check with your healthcare professional or the product guidelines for a more accurate recommendation.
How long will it take to receive my order?
We make sea moss gel fresh to order and ship Monday through Friday. We have a 1-3 business day processing time, meaning your order will ship between 1-3 business days from the day you place your order. We ship everything priority mail, and depending on where you live from Virginia, it can take 3-4 business days to receive your order.
How long before I see results from taking sea moss?
The first step is to take the sea moss on a consistent basis. The timeframe that you’ll see results will vary since everyone’s body will process it differently. We recommend that you monitor your body while taking these amazing products and this will give you a great idea as to how fast it works for you.
