Vitamin B

What is Vitamin B?

Vitamin B is a collective name for eight different B vitamins, each with its own function, including:

• Vitamin B1: contributes to the normal functioning of the heart and the nervous system
• Vitamin B2: helps maintain normal red blood cells and a normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Vitamin B3: contributes to normal psychological function and the reduction of fatigue
• Vitamin B5: supports normal mental performance
• Vitamin B6: helps regulate hormonal activity and supports the immune system
• Biotin (vitamin B8): contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin
• Folic acid (vitamin B11): supports tissue growth during pregnancy and plays a role in the cell division process
• Vitamin B12: contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism

Almost all B vitamins, except for vitamin B12, are water-soluble, meaning they cannot be stored by your body.

Vitamin B: activates the natural energy in our body

Each vitamin B has unique properties that we all need. The role of vitamin B is to activate the natural energy in our body. Vitamin B can be sourced from various foods. When there's an increased need for a specific vitamin B, a supplement can be beneficial, for instance, for pregnant women (vitamin B11) or vegetarians (B12).

How much Vitamin B per day?

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) varies for each B vitamin. Sometimes, it may be necessary to take a higher dosage of a vitamin B. In other cases, it might be desirable to use a supplement containing all B vitamins, as these vitamins often work together. In such cases, you would opt for a vitamin B complex. Generally, 50 micrograms of all B vitamins is more than sufficient as a daily dose. For a vitamin B complex, usually, one capsule per day is enough.
