What is Vitamin B?
There are actually eight vitamins that make up the vitamin B complex: B-1 (Thiamine), B-2 (Riboflavin), B-3 (Niacin), B-4 (Pantothenic acid), B-6 (Pyridoxine and Pyridoxamine), B-7 (Biotin), B-9 (Folic acid), B-12 (Cyanocobalamin) Vitamin B can also help with: cardiovascular health, improve energy, boost metabolic function, prevent depression, promote skin and muscle tone, and boost the immune and nervous systems. Foods that are high in vitamin B include: brewer's yeast, bananas, potatoes, lentils, chili peppers, nuts, leafy vegetables, spinach, and meats including turkey, tuna, and liver. When I'm not able to eat the above foods, I personally take a food based complete B-Complex vitamin by Rainbow Light. Would enjoy hearing what other vitamins / foods you eat to get your vitamin B’s.

Here we go back to Liver again..
My cousin writes on nutrition/diet, she’s been saying for almost a decade that our shift away from organ meats and other things is going to cause a crisis in health.
Our grandparents grew up eating things like Liver, and they lived long, healthy, sane lives for the most part. It seems the more we stray from good common sense diets the worse we become as a society.
Frankly, things like liver should be BACK on the grocery list! We’ve all been duped into thinking they are horribly bad for us, that’s just not true. Liver is mineral and vitamin rich, and is actually a “Super-Food”.
