Vitamins B12 and B6 are building blocks of a healthy body, and are crucial to nerve function, red blood cell formation, DNA production, normal brain development, and keeping your immune system in the best shape possible.

Monitoring intake of B vitamin is especially important for pregnant and nursing women. While B vitamins can help boost energy, ease nausea, and lower the risk of developing preeclampsia, they are also important for fetal brain development and can even reduce the risk of certain birth defects. 

For men, B vitamins are thought to increase testosterone levels, and may even help build muscle and increase strength.
