Description
B vitamins were first discovered in the early 20th century when scientists were researching the causes of health concerns like beriberi and pellagra. Initially, they were thought to be a single nutrient and were named vitamin B. It was only later that researchers realized that vitamin B is a complex of several different vitamins, leading to the creation of terms like B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and so on. The sources of these vitamins are diverse, coming primarily from food products like whole grains, meat, eggs, legumes, seeds, and nuts. B vitamins play a pivotal role in supporting metabolic rate, maintaining healthy skin and muscle tone, enhancing immune and nervous system function, and promoting cell synthesis.
