Vitamin B-Complex (Thiamine) is used orally for deficiency due to inadequate dietary intake. Severe deficiency may result in ‘beri-beri’. Chronic dry ‘beri-beri’ is characterized by peripheral neuropathy, muscle wasting and weakness, and paralysis; wet ‘beri-beri’ is characterized by cardiac failure and edema. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (demyelination of the CNS) may develop in severe deficiency.
Vitamin B-Complex (Riboflavin) deficiency may result from reduced dietary intake or reduced absorption due to liver disease, alcoholism, chronic infection or probenecid therapy. It may also occur in association with other deficiency states such as pellagra.
Vitamin B-Complex (Pyridoxine) deficiency is rare as the vitamin is widely distributed in foods, but deficiency may occur during isoniazid therapy and is characterized by peripheral neuritis. High doses are given in some metabolic disorders, such as hyperoxaluria and it is also used in sideroblastic anemia. Pyridoxine and thiamine also have a role in status epilepticus.
Nicotinamide inhibits the synthesis of cholesterol and triglyceride and is used in some hyperlipidemias. Nicotinamide is used to prevent and treat nicotinic acid deficiency (pellagra).
As we all know, vitamins are essential. Vitamin B is essential for the body’s growth and development; enhancement of immune and nervous system; maintaining healthy skin and muscle tone; mental and emotional well-being; and necessary bodily functions.
