Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12, also known as vitamin B complex, belong to the B group of vitamins - water-soluble vitamins - which are essential for the body. The B - vitamins play an important role for the body and influence the metabolism and the development of the nervous system as well as hair and skin growth. In addition, they are a necessary "conductor" in food metabolism, which helps the body absorb substances and regulate chemical reactions of enzymes or proteins.

The vitamin B complex contributes significantly to our health: prevention and reduction of the risk of stroke; strengthening the body's defenses; Assisting in the production of hormones; Cardiovascular disease risk reduction, anemia prevention; Improving skin and hair function and many other benefits.

In order to properly use B vitamins, it should be noted that each type of these vitamins has different effects on the body.

B1 - Prevention of beriberi: People who consume alcohol, beer, stimulants frequently or are malnourished have a very high probability of getting beriberi. Vitamin B1 has the ability to prevent edema. Vitamin B1 also supports the functioning of the nervous system. A lack of this vitamin can lead to tiredness, lack of concentration or depression. Vitamin B1 also has the ability to stimulate the digestive system, which plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism, muscle activity, and nerve and heart growth.

B6 reduces the risk of heart disease: This vitamin helps to improve protein and fat metabolism, supports the activities of the immune system and nourishes the nervous system. The lack of vitamin B6 leads to the risk of unpleasant symptoms, fatigue, insomnia or even mental confusion, dry chapped lips, acne, hair loss, blurred vision, red eyes, difficult wounds or slow healing. People who are alcoholics, malnourished, have Heart failure, or cirrhosis of the liver are often at high risk of vitamin B6 deficiency.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to depression, fatigue, neurological disorders and, if prolonged, permanent damage to the brain and central nervous system. In addition, vitamin B12 deficiency also increases the risk of pernicious anemia. In particular, people who eat a vegetarian diet should take special care to find an alternative source of vitamin B12, e.g. in the form of a dietary supplement, since plants and plant-based foods do not contain any vitamin B12.
