What are the B Complex Vitamins?
from: Isabelle BoulayThere is much discussion about the B complex vitamin and how it
is essential for the body to perform a multitude of functions.
However, the B complex vitamin is not just one big complicated
vitamin, as the name may imply.
There are actually eight B vitamins in the B complex vitamin as
well as a few other related substances. The eight vitamins that
make up the B complex vitamin are: thiamine or vitamin B1,
riboflavin or vitamin B2, niacin or vitamin B3, pyridoxine or
vitamin B6, cobalamine or vitamin B12, folic acid, pantothenic
acid and biotin. Related substances also in the B complex
vitamin include choline, inositol and para-aminobenzoic acid
(PABA).
Each component of the B complex vitamin has its own individual
role within the body, yet it is when they work jointly as the B
complex vitamin that they provide fundamental maintenance for
the body to stay healthy. As B vitamins are water soluble, it is
essential that an adequate amount of these vitamins are consumed
on a daily basis. The body cannot store water soluble vitamins;
this leads to a regular intake being required.
The B complex is of assistance for a number of health conditions
and additional quantities may be needed at certain times in a
person's life. Of course, there is a recommended daily allowance
for the B complex vitamins that varies according to the sex and
age of a person. Still, doctors and other health professionals
have found benefits to increasing the intake of the B complex
vitamin to help overcome certain illnesses.
Research has determined that the B complex vitamin can be
helpful in alleviating the symptoms of anxiety and stress. If a
person has been unwell and is fatigued, the B complex vitamin
can be extremely valuable in aiding the recovery process.
Fatigue can be a symptom of a multitude of illnesses as well as
simply overdoing things but the B complex vitamin can help
lessen general tiredness and lethargy in either case.
Interestingly, some skin conditions, such as dermatitis, may
also benefit from addition B complex vitamin intake. In fact, a
number of creams and other skin preparations contain added
vitamin B complex that can be absorbed by the skin to alleviate
the condition. Remember that since B vitamins are water soluble
they are needed daily and you will understand how these creams
and preparations could be beneficial.
