The essential B vitamins like Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, folic acid, cyanogobalamin, pangmic acid, biotin, choline and inositol together constitute the Vitamin B complex group. The major advantages of including Vitamin B in the diet is that it is helpful in energy production, good digestion, maintains the nervous system, skin, hair and nails healthy. These water soluble vitamins play a major role in the body. Lack of Vitamin B in the body causes beriberi, degeneration of the sex glands, digestive disturbances and neurological problems. Intake of Vitamin B improves the body’s resistance to stress, promotes good muscle tone, reduces muscle spasms, hand numbness, leg cramps and helps in the regulation of blood pressure. It is also responsible for detoxification, maintenance of sugar levels, blood formation, synthesis of proteins and maintenance of appetite.


Thiamine commonly known as Vitamin B1 is essential for the transmission of nerve signals between the spinal cord and the brain. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is necessary for energy metabolism and normal reproduction. Vitamin B3 (niacin) is responsible for cell respiration and prevents the attack of harmful chemicals. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is involved in the synthesis of fatty acids and utilization of the other vitamins. Pyridoxine, commonly known as Vitamin B6 helps in the formation of red blood cells. Folic acid lessens depression, regulates sleep and helps in maintaining appetite. Vitamin B12 known as the cyanogobalamin is the most potent vitamin that is responsible for maintaining the nerve cells healthy and helps in the production of DNA and RNA. These are the health benefits of Vitamin B complex and so the intake of Vitamin B complex in the diet is very much necessary for the body to lead a healthy life.
