“Vitamin B complex” refers to a group of eight water-soluble B vitamins and the supplement made from a compound of them. These vitamins work synergistically together and are vital for the human body.

Vitamin B complex can be quickly absorbed by the intestine and excreted through renal metabolism. It then acts as a coenzyme in many catabolic and anabolic enzymatic reactions, which play an integral role in cell function.
