Why are B complex vitamins important?

B-complex vitamins include a large number of organic substances that differ greatly from each other. Traditionally, this group of vitamins consists of 11 members: B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, pantothenic acid or B5, biotin, choline, inositol and PABA (it is an integral part of folic acid, ie B9). Carnitine is often added to this group of vitamins. Although each member of this family has special properties, they all have two things in common: they are responsible for creating energy from carbohydrates, proteins and fats in food and in nature they always come together, and then they work better. Separation disrupts the action of the complexes as a balanced whole and nullifies the rule of keeping them together. They should be taken individually only on the recommendation of a pharmacist or doctor, as a supplement to a single B vitamin with the entire B-complex. Processing and processing of food disturbs their fragile balance and encourages the occurrence of many degenerative phenomena. Deficiency of any B vitamin is always accompanied by a deficiency of other B-complex vitamins. By keeping them together, we make the best use of their individual advantages, otherwise they can cause great difficulties.
