Vitamin B complex for dogs

The B vitamin group – support for nerves, energy, and cell metabolism

B vitamins are essential micronutrients that perform a variety of vital functions in dogs’ metabolism. The need can increase, especially in times of increased stress, advancing age, or an unbalanced diet—targeted supplementation through feeding is then advisable. B vitamins must be supplied regularly through food, as they cannot be stored in sufficient quantities.

Overview of Important Functions of B Vitamins

The B vitamins contribute, among other things, to supporting normal energy metabolism, cell function, blood formation, and nerve and muscle function. Skin, coat, and mucous membranes also benefit from adequate nutrition. The DOG FIT by PreThis® VITAMIN B Complex contains the following vitamins in a balanced combination:

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride)

Vitamin B1 supports energy metabolism and nerve function.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

Vitamin B2 contributes to the maintenance of vision and energy production.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin)

Vitamin B3 promotes the normal function of skin, nerves, and mucous membranes.

Vitamin B5 (Calcium D-Pantothenate)

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride)

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin)

The highly bioavailable methylcobalamin supports the formation of nerve structures and red blood cells. Unlike synthetic cyanocobalamin, it is considered particularly well-tolerated and efficiently absorbed.
