The vitamin B complex is a broad term encompassing several different vitamins, specifically including B1, B2, B6, B12, and folic acid. These vitamins play crucial roles in the human body, and their deficiency may lead to various health problems such as constipation, gastrointestinal dysfunction, cheilitis, angular stomatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. To ensure proper bodily function, we must maintain a balanced diet in daily life and ensure adequate intake of vitamin B complex. Through a well-balanced diet or, when necessary, appropriate nutritional supplements, we can maintain good health and prevent diseases caused by vitamin B deficiencies.
