Vitamin B complex is essential for everyday vitality, mental clarity and balance in the body. It consists of eight water-soluble vitamins that play a key role in converting food into energy, supporting the nervous system and cognitive function. Since the body cannot store them, they must be regularly consumed – which is why a quality dietary supplement such as
What vitamins make up the B complex?
B-complex is a group water-soluble vitamins, which act in the body as coenzymes in many metabolic processes. These include the following vitamins:
-
Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
-
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
-
Vitamin B3 (niacin)
-
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)
-
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine)
-
Vitamin B7 (biotin)
-
Vitamin B9 (folate)
-
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
These vitamins work synergistically with each other – meaning they work best when taken together. Each has its own important function in nervous system, energy metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. (1*)
The role of B vitamins in metabolism, fatigue and skin (EFSA claims)
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved a number of scientifically validated claims for B vitamins: (1*)
-
They contribute to the release of energy during metabolism (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B12)
-
Reduces fatigue and exhaustion (B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12)
-
They support the normal functioning of the nervous system (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12)
-
They help with psychological functioning (B1, B3, B6, B9, B12)
-
They contribute to maintaining healthy skin and hair (B2, B3, B7)
So the B-complex is not only important for energy, but also for mental well-being, concentration and regeneration.
Who is recommended to take additional intake: athletes, pregnant women, under stress
B-vitamin needs can be increase during certain periods of life or under increased load. Additional intake often makes sense for:
-
Athletes and physically active individuals – due to increased energy metabolism
-
Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers – mainly for folate and B12 intake
-
Vegans/vegetarians – because B12 is mainly present in animal sources
-
People under chronic stress – stress increases the consumption of B vitamins
-
Elderly people – poorer absorption, especially B12
Alcohol, tobacco, birth control pills, and certain medications can also affect loss or impaired absorption of B vitamins. (2*)

How and when to take B-complex for optimal effect
For the best use of B-complex, we recommend:
-
In the morning or in the forenoon, as B vitamins activate energy pathways
-
On an empty stomach or with a light meal
-
Daily and regularly, as they are rapidly excreted due to their water solubility
