Vitamin B

The B-vitamin family includes thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), vitamin B6, biotin (B7), folate (B9) and vitamin B12. Each has a different role, but several act as coenzymes that help the body release energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

B vitamins do not provide energy in the same way as carbohydrates or act as stimulants like caffeine. Instead, they support the metabolic processes used to turn food into usable energy. Vitamin B6 is also involved in protein and glycogen metabolism, while vitamin B12 and folate support normal blood formation. Several B vitamins also contribute to normal nervous system and psychological function.

Most people can obtain sufficient B vitamins through a varied diet. However, supplementation may be useful when dietary intake is limited, particularly for athletes following restrictive diets or consuming little or no animal produce. Vitamin B12 deserves particular attention for those following a vegan diet because it is naturally found mainly in animal-derived foods.

Our Vitamin B collection includes individual vitamins, B-complex formulas and sports nutrition products containing added B vitamins. These can provide a convenient way to support daily intake alongside a balanced diet. Taking more than the body requires does not automatically improve energy or endurance performance, so always follow the product’s directions and consider the combined dose when using multiple supplements.
