Why B Vitamins and Omega-3 Fatty Acids Belong Together

Written by: Elia Diehl

Time to read 6 min

B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids unfold their strongest effect in interplay – for brain health, cardiovascular system, metabolism, and mental well-being.

For brain health, both nutrients complement each other ideally: B vitamins strengthen nerve cells and neurotransmitters, omega-3 improves the structure and flexibility of neuronal membranes.

The new Vitamin D3 & K2 Cellular Support deliberately comes without omega-3 – thanks to micellization, fat-soluble vitamins are now water-soluble and no longer require a fat carrier.

The micellized form increases bioavailability up to 185-fold and makes intake independent of meals, simpler, and more practical for everyday use.

Those who wish to continue benefiting from the synergy of B vitamins and omega-3 will find both combined in B-Vitamin Complex – with up to 1,632 mg EPA & DHA per two capsules.

All life is always a complex interplay of various factors and consists of many synergies. This also applies to the human body and, consequently, to our nutrition. We show you in 4 points why the combination of B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids is recommended for several reasons, particularly with regard to brain health and cardiovascular system.

The combination of B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids is particularly effective because they work together in many body functions and can mutually reinforce each other:

4 facts about the combination of B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids

1. Enhanced neuroprotective effect:

B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids both contribute to maintaining brain health, but in different ways. B vitamins promote the health of nerve cells and the production of neurotransmitters, while omega-3 fatty acids improve the structure and fluidity of neuronal membranes. Their combined effect can support cognitive function and neuronal health more strongly than any single nutrient alone.

2. Synergy in heart health:

While omega-3 fatty acids help lower triglycerides and inflammation, B vitamins help reduce homocysteine levels, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The combined effect can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease more than taking only one of the nutrients.

3. Joint support for metabolism:

B vitamins are necessary for energy metabolism, while omega-3 fatty acids can improve insulin sensitivity. This combination helps promote healthy metabolism and can provide supportive effects in the prevention of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

4. Improvement of mental health:

Both nutrients have shown positive effects on mood and mental health. The combination can therefore be particularly effective in alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety disorders.

These synergistic effects make the combination of B vitamins and omega-3 a valuable supplement for overall health, particularly for promoting brain and heart health as well as supporting general well-being.

A question from The Change community

We listen. This article was created based on a question from the BTC community. Do you have your own question about nutrition and our products or feedback? Then write to us through the usual channels such as live chat, WhatsApp, email, or on the product page under "Reviews and Questions" – we're happy to help!

Why the new Vitamin D3 & K2 Cellular Support contains no omega-3

The new Vitamin D3 & K2 product is, unlike the previous one, without "omega-3". We'll inform you why this is the case and what your alternative is.

Omega-3 fatty acids were in our old D3 & K2 product – and this is actually the case with all products available on the market – primarily as a carrier substance for the vitamins. Pleasingly, and of course a requirement for us, this is also a valuable, relevant nutrient and 100% natural. As is well known, vitamins – normally – are not water-soluble and require fat to be bound, which is why the combination of D3 & K2 with omega-3 was created in the first place.

With the Why B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids belong together variant, The Change differs from all comparable products:

  • Micellization makes non-water-soluble, or fat-soluble nutrients water-soluble
  • Micellization thereby increases bioavailability (absorption capacity in the body), it is up to 185 times higher than in conventional preparations. This means your body actually gets what you're paying for.
  • Micellization thus protects the important nutrients to an incomparable degree from stomach acid, so they arrive in the intestines unharmed.
