There are 8 vitamins in what is known as the B vitamin complex, B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate or folic acid), B12 (cobalamin). The B vitamins can all be found in the diet, mainly in cereals, legumes, meat and eggs, however they aren’t always that well absorbed and utilised, making supplementation a convenient way to ensure you are getting enough.
