B vitamins are a group of water soluble vitamins and this B vitamin family majorly contains 8 vitamins Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. All of these B Vitamins have a different role to play in the body. Even though each of it has a unique function, all of them work in coordination.

When you do not have adequate amount of these vitamins through diet, the doctor prescribes a B-complex supplement to fill in the gap. 

Who is at a risk of B Vitamin deficiency?

Certain groups like pregnant women and older adults are vulnerable and may be at a risk of developing B vitamin deficiency. Conditions like Crohn’s disease, HIV, Gluten Intolerance and Excessive Alcoholism may result in inadequate absorption of these vitamins from diet.

Since the B vitamin family is water soluble, it is flushed out of the body daily, therefore it needs to be constantly replenished by consuming foods rich in B vitamins to avoid any nutrient deficiencies.

What is the function of B vitamins?

The B vitamins have a number of functions, they play an important role in energy production, macronutrients metabolism (carbohydrate, protein and fat), the synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA. They also help in maintaining a healthy skin and muscle tone, and maintaining a healthy nervous system.

They are also involved in maintaining a good health of hair, a good skin tone, nerves, glands, digestive system, immune system and blood cells. Since they play an important role in growth and development, they are a crucial part of the children’s diet.

Since they are water soluble, B-vitamins are easily destroyed, mostly by excessive consumption of alcohol, cooking, food processing can also reduce the amount that will be absorbed, thereby, making rice, white bread and white flours less nutritious than their whole grain counterparts.
