The full array of B vitamins is vital for liver health. B12 is especially important. It can be stored for years in the liver, whereas other water-soluble vitamins generally cannot be stored (they get washed out daily and must be replenished).
Vitamin B12 is useful in the treatment of liver disease because it acts as a precursor of the amino acid methionine, which then converts to S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) for potential liver disease prevention.
As the building blocks of a healthy body, B vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, metabolism, immunity, brain and nervous system function.
Supplementing with B vitamins is especially important for people suffering periods of intense stress, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and vegetarians and vegans.
