Supplements by Withdrawal Symptom | Daily Supplements for Smoking Cessation | Detoxing Nicotine | Stay Quit Tips

B-complex is actually a blend of micro-vitamins that assist your body in different ways and smokers are commonly deficient in B vitamins. B vitamins are essential for metabolism, ATP production, producing dopamine, and building healthy red blood cells. They are also good for skin repair, as many skincare products now contain niacinamide (vitamin B3) and biotin (vitamin B7) and healthy hair and nails. B-complex vitamins are great because you can get all your b vitamins in one capsule.

In addition to B-Complex, I take niacinamide (vitamin B3) daily. I also keep thiamine (vitamin B1) and cobalamin (vitamin B12) on hand if I feel like I need a mental or physical boost.

B-vitamins can be taken on an empty stomach and they should be taken away from vitamin c, as vitamin c can lessen your bodies ability to absorb the b vitamins. I take mine in the morning and afternoon, avoiding taking them in evening as they can keep you up at night.
