Vitamin B Complex
Vitamin B Complex - Supplements containing all eight B vitamins are generally referred to as a vitamin B complex. Supplements that only contain one or more of the B vitamins carry their individual names (like i.e. Vitamin B-12).

Vitamin B Complex and Bone Building
How can I support the way my body maintains healthy calcium levels?
Life Plus produces a nutritional supplement that supports healthy bone formation: Bone BuilderThere are some important elements that may affect the way your body uses calcium. To help you get the most out of our supplements, we included synergistic compounds that prepare your body for proper calcium absorption and utilization. We've included ipriflavone, a leading edge nutrient only recently available, that promotes the healthy process of incorporating calcium into bone.
Also included is vanadium, which is a bone-seeking, ultra-trace mineral, folic acid, vitamin B-12 and a special metabolite of vitamin B-6, which all support healthy calcium and bone metabolism.
The Bone Builder formula also contains a highly absorbable form of calcium, as a calcium citrate / malate carbonate complex.
People of all ages should support healthy bones with regular exercise, and a healthy diet including sufficient calcium.
