The Many Roles of "B" Vitamins


Vitamins are important to our well being and overall health. We hear about Vitamin A, D, E and others. Another very important group of vitamins is the B Vitamins, which are essential to our bodies. There are 8 B vitamins and each of them has their own purpose. Some of the B vitamins are for mental health, some are for our metabolism and some are for good bone growth. Regardless of what each individual B vitamin does for us, as a whole they are needed to help our bodies function properly.

B vitamins are a group of eight water-soluble vitamins that are essential for your health. When they are all grouped together into one vitamin or supplement, they are referred to as the B Complex. Although there are eight of these B vitamins, each one of them has a different role in maintaining our good health and each is equally important.

Different Types of B Vitamin


Vitamin B1, also known as Thiamine, is used to regulate the metabolism of your body as well as keep the level of bad cholesterol low. Symptoms of a thiamine deficiency are weakness in your arms and legs as well as a large and sudden weight loss. Vitamin B2 or Riboflavin is used to promote good vision and healthy skin. Symptoms of a deficiency of riboflavin are mouth dryness and a sensitivity to light. Vitamin B3 also known as niacin is needed to help reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in our bodies. Confusion and insomnia are symptoms of not enough Vitamin B2 in our system.

Vitamin B5 or Pantothenic acid is essential for the affect it has on pimples, acne and other dermatological problems. Needless to say, severe acne is a symptom of Vitamin B5 deficiency as well as numbness in the extremities. Vitamin B6 or Pyridoxine helps with the production of red blood cells as well as the benefits it gives to our cardio vascular health. Anemia and possible depression are symptoms of a lack of Vitamin B6.

Vitamin B7 or Biotin is useful in helping to strengthen our nails and hair as well as a preventative against hair loss. Not enough biotin can result in brittle nails. Vitamin supplements are also very important for babies. Vitamin B9 or Folic acid is a very important vitamin for women, especially pregnant women. A Vitamin B9 deficiency can lead to possible birth defects or low birth weight. Vitamin B12 or cyanocobalamin is very important to the functions of our brain. Severe brain damage can occur from Vitamin B12 deficiency.
