Nutritional supplements are not one-size-fits-all, and not every multivitamin on the shelf is for everyone. enrG B is an oral supplement that contains the full complex of eight B vitamins: thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12, folate, biotin and pantothenic acid. These individual vitamins are used for a variety of functions in the body, including breaking down carbohydrates, fats and proteins, making hormones, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) production, brain development and neurological function, creating red blood cells and regulating chemical reactions within the body.

enrG Wellness owner Janet Baker, RN, asks, “How do you know if you need a vitamin B supplement?” A 2019 poll showed that 86 percent of Americans reported taking vitamin supplements, but only 24 percent of those showed deficiencies for the vitamins they were supplementing. Both enrG Wellness locations offer testing to determine deficiencies to make the best recommendation as a unique individual.

Symptoms of deficiency include memory or heart problems, tingling or numbness in the extremities, hair loss, skin disorders, headaches, depression, irritability and fatigue. Those at the highest risk for vitamin B deficiencies are older adults, patients with celiac disease, women that are pregnant or breastfeeding, patients with autoimmune disorders, gastric surgery patients, those with alcohol dependence, vegan sand anyone struggling with malnutrition.

Another product, NAD+, contains 300 milligrams of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, the engine of our cells that provides power to the mitochondria and drives cellular repair. It fights the oxidative stress that increases with age and certain conditions, but our bodies’ production of NAD begins declining around age 20. Those over the age of 20 can likely benefit from supplemental NAD+, available at both enrG Wellness locations as an oral supplement or an intramuscular injection, as well as a line of skin care products containing this crucial ingredient.

If unsure about which supplements are needed or which would benefit certain conditions, individuals can schedule a private consultation with the nursing staff. Nurses will order labs and obtain a sample to determine what deficiencies exist and make recommendations for supplements.
