Collectively, the B vitamins help break down food into energy that your body can use all day long. On their own, they perform specific roles. For example, vitamin B6 supports the production of neurotransmitters needed for mood health.†

Adequate intake of B vitamins is especially important for those who experience low energy, eat plant-based diets, are biotin deficient, and women of childbearing age or pregnant women.†

B vitamins are foundational to whole body health, but various factors can influence how much of these essential nutrients we need and consume on a daily basis. For example, folic acid is particularly important for pregnant women and women of childbearing age. And vitamin B12 is important for vegetarians and vegans who may not consume enough from diet alone.†
