B Complex

The discovery of B-group vitamins is attributed to several researchers and scientists who contributed to their identification and understanding. In the early 20th century, work by researchers such as Casimir Funk, William Fletcher, Elmer V. McCollum and Marguerite Davis led to the discovery of essential substances found in food and necessary for the body. Funk, in particular, proposed the term 'vitamin' to describe these vital substances, including vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Over the years, other B vitamins were identified and classified, contributing to the understanding of the specific roles of each B-group vitamin in human metabolism and wellbeing.

People following a vegan or vegetarian diet and those with high alcohol consumption have greater needs for B vitamins. The main signs of a B vitamin deficiency are fatigue and memory and concentration problems. The causes of B vitamin deficiency are generally linked to unbalanced, restrictive or special diets, as well as excessive alcohol consumption. Furthermore, when taking food supplements, it is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose.

B Complex is a complex of B vitamins often found in capsule or tablet form — a group of water-soluble vitamins essential for the proper functioning of our body. The 8 B vitamins in our B Complex tablet are essential for the optimal functioning of our organism. Some are synthesised by our body, while others are provided by our diet. They work together to support various vital processes in the body. All the vitamins in our complex play a crucial role in supporting the nervous and immune systems (B6, B9, B12), as well as maintaining normal skin and hair (B8).
