Vitamin B Complex

Vitamins are one of several essential macronutrients that the body needs for essential processes that occur every second, thousands of times. Vitamins come in two different types: water soluble vitamins and fat soluble vitamins. Furthermore, vitamins are sometimes arranged in groups of related vitamins. Vitamin B complex is a group of water soluble vitamins, and, more specifically, water-soluble B vitamins. 

The Vitamin B complex is composed of thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, niacin B3, pantothenic B5, pyridoxine B6, biotin B7, folic acid or folate B9, cobalamin B12. In general, B vitamins are essential for growth, development, and other body functions. They play an important role in cell metabolism, that is, the set of life sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms.

Here is a brief description of each of the B vitamins:

Vitamin B1 - Thiamine helps with the functioning of the nervous system. It also helps the body produce energy.

Vitamin B2 - Vitamin B2, riboflavin, converts hydrogen from nutrients into energy.
