Multiple B vitamin tablets

Vitamin is one of the essential elements for our body. We should eat more foods containing vitamins, which is beneficial to our health. Lack of certain vitamins will cause abnormalities in the body. If you lack vitamin B, you can take some vitamin B tablets, but you must choose the correct vitamin B tablets to avoid harm to the body. I hope you can understand its types.

In the 1920s, people discovered that the so-called "water-soluble vitamin B" was not a single substance, but was actually composed of several factors. Therefore, they were collectively called "B vitamins", also known as "vitamin B complex", and each factor was named separately. Some members put numbers under the B to classify and name them, such as vitamin B1, B2, etc.; others call them by well-known chemical names, such as folic acid and pantothenic acid, and the two names are often used interchangeably.

In fact, B vitamins are different in chemical structure and special functions. Each has its own unique nutritional value and cannot replace each other. However, B vitamins do have similarities in some aspects. For example, they are all water-soluble, they are abundant in liver and yeast, and they often exist together in the same food. In terms of elemental composition, they all contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, and some also contain sulfur, phosphorus and cobalt.

Many of the functions of B vitamins in the body are often interconnected. Most of them act as cofactors of enzymes, which are catalysts of metabolism, and are involved in the synthesis and decomposition of proteins, fats and sugars in cells, as well as their mutual conversion. The body does not store much of any of them, so they must be replenished every day. Certain organs in the human body, especially the liver, contain higher concentrations of these vitamins. Their excretion channels are also similar, both are excreted in the urine through the kidneys. Not only that, they are often used together when taking vitamin supplements. For example, when vitamin B deficiency is observed, it is usually a combination of several factors rather than just a single factor, because B vitamins often occur in the same foods. Vitamin supplementation will only be effective if you supplement these B vitamins at the same time. In clinical practice, several types of vitamin B are often mixed to make complex vitamin B tablets or complex vitamin B injections for use.

There are many types of B vitamins, and currently there are 9 members that are generally recognized, namely vitamin B1, vitamin B2, pantothenic acid, niacin, vitamin B6, biotin, folic acid, vitamin B12, and choline. There are also some vitamin-like substances that are sometimes listed as B vitamins, such as para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and inositol.
