Our bodies need B vitamins in order to have proper functioning nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver, mouth, muscles, digestive tract, brain, pretty much everything! When you're working hard and feeling exhausted the best thing to take a multi-vitamin B complex. Not only is your body exhausted, but also your nervous system.
