    group of water-soluble vitamins essential for metabolism and energy

    B vitamins, also known as B-complex vitamins, are a group of water-soluble vitamins that play crucial roles in cell metabolism and energy production. They include eight distinct vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin). These vitamins are essential for various bodily functions, including red blood cell formation, nervous system health, and the synthesis of DNA.
