The B vitamins are a group of 8 different vitamins:

B2- Riboflavin: Plays a role in energy production. Helps maintain healthy skin & eyes and supports normal growth and development.
B3 – Niacin: Essential for energy metabolism. Aids in the functioning of the digestive system and supports healthy skin.
B5- Pantothenic acid: Assists in energy production. Helps synthesizes hormones & cholesterol and promotes healthy skin and hair.
B6 – Pyridoxine: Involved in the metabolism of proteins, carbs, and fats. Supports brain development & function and helps maintain a healthy immune system.
B7- Biotin: Important for metabolism with the breakdown of carbs, fats & proteins. Contributes to healthy hair, skin, and nails.
B9- Folate: Vital for cell division and growth, supports development of red blood cells, and is crucial during pregnancy for fetal development.
B12 – Cobalamin: Plays a role in the production of red blood cells, supports neurological function. Helps in DNA synthesis. Contributes to overall energy production.
B Vitamins can be found together in various foods. They work together to support overall health and well-being.
Look for B12 in eggs and tuna. B6 in chickpea, bananas, and tuna. B1 in sunflower seeds and peas.
It is best to get your vitamins from the foods you eat. However, when you need more, supplements are the perfect way to get them. You can get your B Vitamins in a standard or methyl form. You typically need the methyl form if you have a mthfr gene defect or other methylation issues.
