The B Vitamin Complex
The B vitamin complex includes many individually identified vitamins that may be commonly known. Thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Pantothenic Acid (B5), Pyridoxine (B6), Cobalamin (B12), Biotin (B7), Choline, Folic Acid (B9), and Inositol. These are water soluble, which means they are not stored in any great amount in the body and therefore need to be eaten regularly. We think of them as a "complex" due to the fact that they are commonly found together in foods and they act synergistically, supporting the effectiveness of each when eaten as whole foods.
