Vitamin B8 and Metabolic Syndrome
Studies have suggested that vitamin B8 supplements might help people with metabolic syndrome. This is a group of disorders that increases the risk of chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Five typical symptoms related to metabolic syndrome include high blood sugar, high blood pressure, low levels of good HDL cholesterol, high levels of triglycerides, and excess fat around the stomach. Taking vitamin B8 supplements can reduce both total cholesterol and triglyceride levels as well as improve blood sugar and blood pressure. [3]
