Functions & Roles of Vitamin (B-complex) in Human Body:

  1. Thiamin: called vitamin B1, can helps the body’s cells change the carbohydrates into energy with main role of carbohydrates is to provide energy for the body, especially the brain and nervous system. Thiamin also plays a role in the muscle contraction and conduction of the nerve signals.
  2. Riboflavin called vitamin B2 works with the other B vitamins. It is important for body growth. It helps in red blood cell production. It also aids in the release of energy from proteins.
  3. Niacin called vitamin B3 that’s made and used by your body to turn food into energy. It helps keep your nervous system, digestive system and skin healthy.
  4. Pantothenic Acid called vitamin B5, help the body convert food carbohydrates into fuel or glucose, which the body uses to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, also help the body use fats and protein.
  5. Pyridoxine called vitamin B6 is required for the proper function of sugars, fats, and proteins in the body. It is also required for the proper growth and development of the brain, nerves, skin, and many other parts of the body.
  6. Biotin called vitamin B7 is often recommended for strengthening hair and nails, and it’s found in many cosmetic products for hair and skin. Like all B vitamins, it is a water soluble, meaning the body does not store it.
  7. Folic acid ( Folate ) called vitamin B9 helps make healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. If we do not have enough folic acid, the body can make abnormally large red blood cells that do not work properly. This causes folate deficiency anaemia, which can cause tiredness and other symptoms.
  8. Cobalamin called vitamin B12, is one of 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, also help the body use fats and protein.
