Parameters
- Folic acid (vitamin B9): Supports the production of red blood cells and DNA, essential during pregnancy.
- Vitamin B6: Involved in amino acid metabolism, the formation of red blood cells, and maintaining a healthy nervous system. B6 plays a role in converting food into energy, producing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain), and regulating homocysteine levels in the blood.
- Vitamin B12: Required for the production of red blood cells and nerve health; deficiency can lead to anemia and neurological complaints.
- Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Supports energy production and the nervous system; deficiency may cause fatigue and nerve damage.
- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Helps with energy production and cell growth; deficiency may cause skin problems and fatigue.
- Vitamin D: Supports the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
