Its many forms include thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, biotin (vitamin B7), folic acid and vitamin B12.
The Vitamin B7, also known as biotin, supports the maintenance of normal hair and skin and the energy-producing metabolism process. You can get the benefits of biotin by eating foods like almonds, cauliflower, and eggs.
The benefits of folic acid (also known as folate) are especially important for pregnant women and those who want to conceive. It is strongly recommended that women take 400 mcg of folic acid daily during pregnancy until week 12 to reduce the risk of the fetus developing birth defects such as spina bifida.
It can also help reduce feelings of fatigue and tiredness, while helping to keep the immune system functioning. You can find it in citrus fruits, beans, rice, bread, and leafy green vegetables like kale and spinach.
