This document summarizes several B vitamins: vitamin B6, vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B8 (lipoic acid), and vitamin B7 (biotin). It discusses their functions, which include involvement in metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and synthesis of neurotransmitters. Sources listed include meats, fish, poultry, eggs, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and various vegetables. Health effects of deficiencies are also outlined.

VITAMIN B ( Pyridoxamine, Pantothenic, Lipoic Acid, Biotin )
Vitamin B6 part of the B complex vitamins, the group includes three chemically related substances: pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine Water-soluble vitamin
FUNCTIONS: Pyridoxal phosphate is involve in the transaminase reaction Needed for the activity of more than 50 enzymes involved in CHO, protein and fat metabolism co-enzyme for many chemical reaction however is related to protein metabolism Synthesis of neurotransmitters
SOURCES Garlic Rice bran Liver Yeast Banana Broccoli Spinach Meat, fish and poultry Soybean nuts
Health Effects Rheumatoid Arthritis Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) Depression Skin condition Nervous system disorders Muscle spasm
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) Is appropriately named, because the Greek word pantothen means from many places. It is fairly stable, but it can be damaged by acids and alkaline.
FUNCTIONS: It is involved in metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It is also essential for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and of steroid hormones. Maintenance of normal growth, healthy skin and integrity of the CNS
SOURCES Found in food especially animal food such as meats, fish, poultry and eggs. It is also found in whole grain and cereal and legumes. In addition, it is thought to be synthesizes by the body. Mushroom, broccoli, cabbage, legumes, salmon and collard green, fish, eggs, nuts, milk
BENEFITS Synthesizer: acts as a synthesizer of most important components required by human body. Stress Buster: has the flair to kill the stress and other serious mental problems like anxiety and depression to ensure fitness of mind.
Caring Human Heart: holds an impressive record in keeping the human heart in normal working condition. It regulates the level of cholesterol and also helps in controlling blood pressure. Skin and Hair: helps in keeping skin healthy and free from bad appearances. Helps postpone the appearance of early ageing sign over the skin. Building Stamina: helps in reducing Body fatigue and weariness and putting the functioning of body parts on right track. Immune system: potent in strengthening the immune system of human body.
DEFICIENCY Insomnia Muscle cramps Tingling sensation of the extremities Vomiting
Vitamin B8 (Lipoic Acid) Lipoic acid is an enormously important and under-appreciated nutrient whose chemical structure was first discovered in 1951. Our bodies cannot be maximally efficient in producing energy from carbohydrates or fats without the help of lipoic acid. An unusual feature of lipoic acid is its ability to function in a water-based or fat-based environment.
FUNCTION Lipoic acid is nestled into one of the most critical spots in all of the body's energy production pathways. The antioxidant function of lipoic acid has been extensively studied, and its ability to help prevent oxygen-based damage to cells is well established.
SOURCES Green Plants: The first category includes green plants which have a high concentration of chloroplasts. Animal Foods: Animal foods constitute the second category of lipoic acid sources.
Health Effects Cataracts Chronic fatigue syndrome Conditions involving chronic muscle fatigue Diabetes Glaucoma Hypoglycemia Impaired glucose tolerance Liver diseases (including alcoholic liver disease) Lung cancer
Vitamin7 (Biotin) Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 and vitamin H, is one of the lesser known vitamins of the B complex group. It is one of the most active biological substances, since it has some effect on bacteria and yeast Biotin is insoluble in fat solvents and easily soluble in hot water
FUNCTION Vitamin B7 or biotin is part of a number of enzyme systems and is required for the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Biotin is responsible for a healthy skin and controls the correct distribution of the color pigment.
SOURCES Cereals, pulses and legumes, vegetables, nuts and beef liver contain biotin. Rice bran, rice germ, barley, whole wheat and brown rice are rich sources of biotin. Vegetable sources include mushrooms and cauliflower, while walnuts, peanuts, peanut butter and almonds also contain this vitamin.
BENEFITS Used to control and reduce hair loss resulting from male alopecia. Essential for proper functioning of the enzyme systems and metabolism
