"Vitamin B is a complex of eight water soluble vitamins, active in cell metabolism. The name arises because it was once considered a single vitamin, much like Vitamin C or Vitamin D. Since later research has shown it is in fact a complex of chemically distinct vitamins that happen to often coexist in the same foods, the name has gradually declined in use, being replaced by the generic term "the B vitamins", the vitamin B complex, or by the specific names of each vitamin."

* Vitamin B1, (Thiamine)
* Vitamin B2, (Riboflavin)
* Vitamin B3, also Vitamin P or Vitamin PP (Niacin)
* Vitamin B5, (Pantothenic acid)
* Vitamin B6, (Pyridoxine and Pyridoxamine)
* Vitamin B7, also Vitamin H (Biotin)
* Vitamin B9, also Vitamin M and Vitamin B-c (Folic acid) - important for pregnancies
* Vitamin B12, (Cyanocobalamin)
