VITAMIN PACK B1 , B2 , B6
B vitamins are water-soluble vitamins that play a crucial role in cell metabolism. Each B-complex vitamin has its own exclusive structure and performs unique functions in the human body. Vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B7 have different roles in energy production. B6 is essential for amino acid metabolism, and B9 and B12 are major players in the cell division process.
Types of vitamin B
B vitamins are a complex of 8 vitamins that work together, but each of them individually has its own specific functions for the body:
- Vitamin B1 /thiamine/ – An essential B vitamin that helps with metabolism. It is most commonly found in legumes, milk and egg yolk.
- Vitamin B2 /riboflavin/ – One of the most common vitamins. Its action is quite broad spectrum. It participates in oxidative processes, supports the action of enzymes and plays a very important role in metabolism.
- Vitamin B3 /niacin/ – Helps the enzymes that release energy from the food we eat.
- Vitamin B5 /panthenol/ – Together with other vitamins, helps to convert energy from food, improves fat synthesis, relieves pain from burn wounds and helps in the healing process.
- Vitamin B6 /pyridoxine/ – It is a combination of three substances – pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. Like vitamin B2, B6 enters as an auxiliary coenzyme of more than 50 enzymes.
- Vitamin B7 /biotin/ – Plays an important role in protein synthesis. It is important for the strength of bones, nails and hair.
- Vitamin B9 /folic acid/ – Involved in the synthesis of amino acids, which supports muscle growth.
- Vitamin B12 /cyanocobalamin/ – With its help stimulates the anti-anemia factor, which stimulates blood formation.
What are the symptoms of vitamin B deficiency
If there is a lack of vitamin B in the body, it manifests itself in several ways. The most common of these is anemia, which occurs in the absence of vitamin B12 and vitamin B6. In this case, the blood loses the ability to distribute enough oxygen throughout the body. Here the risk of deficiency is greatest in people who follow vegan diets. The reason for this is that animal products are the main source of B-group vitamins. Here are the other symptoms that can be seen with vitamin B deficiency.
Fatigue
A deficiency of a very large proportion of B-vitamins can cause symptoms associated with fatigue. Muscle weakness, lack of coordination and loss of muscle mass are just a few of them. Soreness or discomfort in the muscles, as well as tingling or tingling of the fingers and toes, may also be observed.
Disorders of the skin
A very large proportion of B-vitamins are needed to keep the skin healthy. A deficiency of these can cause symptoms such as dermatitis, cracking at the corners of the mouth and overall drying of the skin. Bruises and sores often appear and take a long time to heal and disappear completely.
Impaired functioning
Mental symptoms such as headaches, confusion and irritability are among the most common symptoms of vitamin deficiency. If you notice the presence of any of these symptoms, especially in combination with sleep disorders, difficulty falling asleep, insomnia, dreaming nightmares, it is imperative to consult a medical professional.
Other symptoms
It is also necessary to monitor for the presence of the following symptoms:
- Increased sensitivity to light;
- Anaemia (as mentioned, this is a very common symptom of vitamin B deficiency)
- Gastrointestinal symptoms – nausea, vomiting or diarrhea;
- Numbness and restless legs syndrome;
- Heart problems;
- Folic acid deficiency – such a deficiency is particularly dangerous during pregnancy, especially in the first months, as it can lead to severe neurological damage to the fetus.
In whom vitamin B deficiency is observed
Vitamin B deficiency is much more common than we know. Vitamin B deficiency is most common in humans:
- With unbalanced nutrition;
- Taking large amounts of sugar, semi-finished products, fast food (fast food);

- Who have excessive intake of medications;
- Subjected to systemic stress, strain and sleep deprivation;
- Undergoing chemotherapy;
- Undergoing hormone replacement therapy.
Vitamin B1 deficiency
Vitamin B1 is extremely important for the human body. Lack of thiamine unlocks many neurological and cardiovascular diseases. One of the most common signs of vitamin B1 deficiency is brain abnormality. Often, when alcoholic beverages are abused, Wernicke’s encephalopathy develops, a syndrome that affects the proper functioning of memory and other aspects of the brain.
Vitamin B2 deficiency
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, plays an extremely important role in metabolism and the proper functioning of processes in the human body. Its deficiency can manifest itself in lesions on the lining of the lips, but the clearest sign of its absence is lesions on the lining of the tongue. It becomes red, and its surface becomes gritty. If measures are not taken in time, such a condition can lead to atrophy of the mucous membrane of the pharynx and oesophagus.
Vitamin B6 deficiency
Vitamin B6 is responsible for immunity and the nervous system, and its deficiency can endanger human health. Signs of its lack in the body are expressed by edema, migraines, tooth decay, and in more severe cases, pancreatic damage and inflammation of the colon are observed. As a consequence of prolonged vitamin B6 deficiency, clinical depression, convulsions, hardening of the blood vessels and damage to the inner walls of the coronary arteries may develop.
