The B-complex vitamins can be considered separately as their chemical structures are significantly different from each other. However, the different B vitamins are generally present in the same foods and work together to maintain metabolism, the function of the immune and nervous systems, keeping therefore skin and mucous membranes healthy, and to stimulate, finally, cell division and growth, which is especially important in relation to red blood cells.
B vitamins are water-soluble and are usually excreted in the urine, so this is why daily intake is recommended. There are differences regarding the probability of suffering from B vitamin deficiency, including in this category: pregnant and nursing women, strict vegetarians, alcoholics, elderly people, or those who consume large amounts of sugar or antibiotics for a long time, as well as individuals with intestinal malabsorption syndrome.
