The Nitty Gritty:

Vitamin B2: Aids in the metabolism of fat, and carbohydrates into usable energy for your pup. Vitamin B2 is also integral in the production of red blood cells, as well as boosting your pet’s immune system by triggering the production of antibodies when combined with other minerals.  

Vitamin B3: Helps the body metabolize fats, and carbohydrates. It also helps the nervous system function properly, as well as working to create vital hormones in your pet’s body. Evidence suggests that it benefits the circulatory system also, as Vitamin B3 has been shown to help suppress inflammation.

Vitamin B6: Aids the healthy growth of your young pup, as it is necessary for protein synthesis. It has also been directly linked to heart health, as it regulates the levels of homocysteine in the bloodstream; which is a chemical that contributes to the hardening of arteries, leading to heart disease.

Vitamin B12: Contributes to a strong immune system, as it is necessary to create parts of the body’s defense system; particularly the immunoglobulin, and cytokines. It is also crucial for proper digestion as it aids in the breakdown of protein to amino acids. A vitamin B12 deficiency could result in diarrhea.

Zinc: Aids in the production of a variety of hormones, boosts the immune system, as well as being vital for proper cognitive function, memory, and learning. Zinc also helps in cellular division, RNA and DNA replication.
