Vitamin B complex is composed of the 8 essential vitamins. These are B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12. They all have a crucial role in the well-being of an individual. Besides carrying out important cellular functions they are also needed to maintain health. It is important to have adequate levels of these vitamins as the deficiency can lead to various signs and symptoms like lethargy, weakness, dry skin and rashes, tongue ulcers, depression, irritability, bowel irregularity, anaemia, numbness in the extremities associated with tingling, prone to infections, etc.
Nutrients play a crucial role in the human body right from growth and development to day-to-day functions. In nutrients, one such essential and a micronutrient is a Vitamin. There are 13 types of vitamins in humans of which, 9 are water-soluble and 4 are fat-soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E & K. Group of B and C vitamins are water-soluble.
Vitamin B is classified into 8 types, namely
B1- it is important for the breakdown of carbohydrates. It also has a role in the synthesis of hormones, fatty acids, and neurotransmitters. It promotes appetite, prevents tingling in the limbs, and enhances nervous system functions.
B2-it is important for the production of energy, breakdown of lipids, medicines, and hormones, and for the conversion of other vitamins into a usable form. Its deficiency may lead to oral ulceration, hair-fall, anaemia, cataracts, birth defect, itchy eyes, and skin issues.
B3-Niacin: Niacin is required for the breakdown of macro-nutrients, inter and extra-cellular functions, and DNA expression. When deficient, it can present as depression, fatigue, oral redness of the tongue, skin-hypersensitivity, headache and gastro-intestinal tract disturbances, loss of appetite, and malnourishment.
B5-Pantothenic acid: Pantothenic acid help carry out the transfer of the co-enzyme, metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Its deficiency can cause anorexia, poor sleep, headache, irritability, and numbness with tingling in the limbs.
B6- it has a significant role in protein and carbohydrate metabolism, carrying out brain functions and promoting the function of the hormones and immune system. If deficient, it can lead to dry lips, depression, anaemia, loss of appetite, swollen tongue, and confusion.
B7-Biotin: Biotin is required for the metabolism of macro-nutrients, inter-cellular message transmission, and DNA regulation. Its low levels can cause brittle nails, fatigue, hair fall, scaly rashes near eyes, ears, and mouth, and depression.
B9-Folate: Folate is necessary to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. It is necessary for the multiplication of DNA, synthesis of RBCs, metabolism of proteins and other vitamins, and cellular division. The symptoms like palpitation, oral ulcerations, fatigue, irritability, and poor health of hair and skin are reflected upon its deficiency.
B12-Cyanocobalamin: Cyanocobalamin helps in the synthesis of the myelin sheath, DNA, and RBCs., metabolism of proteins and fatty acids, and aid the functioning of B9. Its deficiency can lead to lethargy, anaemia, poor mental focus, depression, anorexia constipation, and tingling in the limbs.
Thus, knowing the importance of the function of these versatile B-Complex vitamins their adequate levels on regular basis is deemed necessary.
