B Vitamins

B vitamins are water-soluble vitamins that play an important role in many physiological processes. Numerous studies have highlighted their unconditional connection to human life:

• Vitamin B6 and B2 are responsible for maintenance of normal of red blood cells

• Folic acid and vitamin B6 are key factors in maintaining healthy immune system

• Biotin contributes to normal metabolism

• B vitamins (like biotin, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine, pyridoxine) are vital for converting food into cellular energy

B vitamins are easily obtained through a variety of food, but the gut microbiota is probably the most reliable source, as it can synthesize different B vitamins (including biotin, cobalamin, folates, nicotinic acid, panthotenic acid, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamine). However, when there are occasional disruptions of the balanced state of gut microflora, the synthesis of vitamins B is also disrupted; this is when it’s important to supplement additional B vitamins in the diet.
