Vitamin b: The blood that is formed in our body, the signal from our veins goes from here to there, what we think, the repair that is done in our body, these are all such things in which some way vitamin B is needed in some way or the other. Vitamin B is often known to increase energy, support brain functions, keep the skin healthy, and boost metabolism. Vitamin B is a soluble vitamin in water. This is not just a nutrient. Many things have been absorbed in it. There are types of vitamin B8 types. Everyone has different work. From B1 i.e. thiamine to B12, every type of vitamin has a specific role. Whether it is to produce red blood cells or to convert food into energy, vitamin B is needed everywhere. One vitamin can not do another vitamin. Each vitamin has different functions.

2. Vitamin B2 Riboflavin : Vitamin B2 is essential for skin and eyes health. Due to its deficiency, blisters or lips in the mouth can be torn.
4. Vitamin B5 Pantothenic Acid: Vitamin B5 is helpful in the formation of hormones in the body. Lack of this can cause fatigue and Sunapan.
6. Vitamin B7 Biotin: Vitamin B7 is very important to maintain skin and hair health. Its deficiency can cause hair fall.
8. Vitamin B12 Cobalamin: This is very important vitamin. It is essential for the formation of red blood cells and nerve health. Lack of this can cause memory problems or numbness.
Dr. Hiramath says B-Complex supplements can be suitable for those who have a lot of fatigue, weakness and stress or whose food is poor. Because the balance of all these 8 vitamins can protect against many diseases. But if there is a deficiency of a particular vitamin, then taking the same vitamin is more beneficial. Dr. Hiramath explains that for example vitamin B12 supplements are usually given to those who have trouble in the absorption of nutrients or who are vegetarian. At the same time, special emphasis is given on folic acid in pregnancy. Although vitamin B often works together, sometimes vitamin B complex supplements are also given so that the balance remains. It is best to consult a doctor before starting any supplement because every person has different requirements of the body. It changes according to age, lifestyle, medicines and health conditions.
Natural way of obtaining vitamin B
Through Dr. Hiramath, vitamin B is found in abundance in food sources obtained from plants and animals. Whole grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, milk, eggs, meat and fish are its best sources. For example, B12 is mainly in foods from animals, while folate is found in abundance in green leafy vegetables.
Although vitamin B is soluble in water and is sensitive to heat, so boiling for a long time can reduce their quantity. Cooking in steam or frying lightly keeps them safe. Alcohol and too much processed food can obstruct the absorption of vitamin B. Consuming them with foods containing probiotic or vitamin C can be better absorbed in the body. People who have digestive problems or who are taking medicines for a long time (such as antacid or metformin) may need supplement.
