Vitamin B Complex Benefits

Vitamin B complex is very important for almost every function of the body. Besides keeping us healthy physically, these vitamins play an important role in keeping us balanced emotionally.

Vitamin B complex consists of 8 different B vitamins. They are:

• Vitamin B1 (thiamin)
• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
• Vitamin B3 (niacin)
• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
• Vitamin B6 (pryidoxine)
• Vitamin B9 (folic acid)
• Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
• biotin (sometimes referred to as Vitamin H)

I'll get into more detail about each of these indiviual B vitamins at a later time. Right now we're concerned with this group.

Since these B complex vitamins are water-soluble, they are excreted from the body fairly fast. Therefore, it is recommended that you take them after your meals.

Also note that when your body is stressed, either physically or emotionally, you probably need more B complex vitamins in your diet.

To make it easier, you can buy B Complex vitamins in combination in the form of tablets, capsules, or liquid, rather than take each individual B vitamin seperately.
