There are some signs that are indicative of a deficiency of Vitamin B complex. A simple blood test is done to determine your serum B complex levels and that will tell you whether you are deficient and if you're deficient you can take supplementation! Understanding Vitamin B Vitamin B Complex is a large group of vitamins - Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. They are also called by their individual names Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Biotin, Folic Acid and Cobalamin. Importance of Vitamin B They are all important for bodily functions. They are the building blocks of the human body and are critical for the human body function. They are responsible for cellular metabolism, maintaining mental activities and energy levels. Vitamin B complex helps build up red blood cells or hemoglobin, enables us to have good vision, maintains good cellular function, and are responsible for neural and muscular functions. They create and help us to have a good appetite. They are responsible for heart function. Very importantly, pregnant women need a sufficient amount of Vitamin B Complex for the fetus to develop well, without defects. Signs of deficiency These are skin rashes, cracks around the mouth like dryness and cracking scaly lesions on the lips, swollen tongue, fatigue, weakness, anaemia, irritability or depression, sometimes mental confusion, Nausea, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. These are some of the common symptoms of vitamin B complex deficiency. People who are prone to Vitamin B deficiency People who are more at risk of developing vitamin B complex deficiency are those who have celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic alcohol users and sometimes, people with rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease and HIV. People with these diseases may not be able to absorb enough vitamin B complex from the intestine and they suffer from deficiencies. Sources of Vitamin B Vitamin B12 is readily available to us in a variety of food forms from milk, cheese, eggs and meat. It is also available to us in green leafy vegetables like spinach. You can also get it from cereals like wheat germ. It is readily available in nutritional yeast, nuts and seeds, which have plenty of vitamin B complex. Also, fruits such as citrus fruits, banana and watermelon contain good quantities of Vitamin B complex. Do we need vitamin B complex supplementation? As we have seen most of us get it from our daily food and we do not need supplementation. There are certain situations where you might need to supplement particularly those who suffer from chronic alcoholism. Additionally, pregnant ladies may need extra folic acid so that they can have healthy babies. Those who eat a purely vegetarian diet can sometimes be nutritionally deficient and sometimes they may be deficient in Vitamin B.
