What vitamin gives you energy?

Question

I was told that there was a vitamin that gives you energy if so what is it

Answer 1

The vitamin you were informed of is the B-complex vitamins, more specifically B12.  However, this is only partially true in terms of giving energy.  B-complex improves brain function and increases the metabolism rate slightly, by doing so you experience more energy.  It's not like a sugar rush.

Answer 2

Hi,

There isn't a vitamin that gives you energy :)  You get physical energy when oxygen and glucose (from the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats) combines in every cell of your body.  That's part of metabolism.

All vitamins and minerals are needed by the body to function and help provide energy.  It would be nice if there were one tablet or pill that we could take to improve our energy, but the body doesn't work that way!

If you're needing more energy, the foods you choose to eat, how much physical activity you get and how much good sleep you get are the things that you can improve to improve your energy.

Cheers,

BB
