For those who don’t believe in vitamins, next time you are at a drug store pick up a bottle of B-complex. Don’t think about it, just say bah humbug and bring it to the cashier. No need to look at the price because you spend more at McDonalds. Simply pay for it, bring it to work and drop it on your desk in front of your monitor. At some point you will notice it, when you do, pop one in your mouth, swallow and forget about it. The next day will come, if you see it, say bah humbug and have one. If you don’t see it, it doesn’t matter. If you see it but don’t remember if you took one, then don’t take one or take one. It is water soluble, which means you will pee it out, it does not accumulate in your body. The key is to take it, without thinking about it. Once the bottle is finished you can then decide how much of a nuisance it is to take B-complex. If it turns out that it is a random pill you take because you left the bottle of b-complex in your car, at work or in your jacket, then it is worth trading the cost of a Big Mac combo for once every couple of months.
If you do not use vitamins or care much about them, the point is to have you take them without you noticing that you are taking them. Otherwise there will be all these questions, what are the benefits, do I really need them, I feel normal, I don’t get sick. If you live in North America, have a mortgage, financing a car, work late, and in a relationship, then you are sick enough to take B-complex. Think of it as having a coke or a chocolate bar around 3pm in the afternoon for the sugar boost. Rather than a boost, B-complex helps reduce stress, provides mental clarity, alertness as well as healthy skin and digestion. Basically it counteracts the fast paced North American lifestyle of work hard and work even harder so now play hard.
