It acts on the digestive tract and on the transmission of nerve impulses. Its acute deficiency causes beriberi, neuritis and polyneuritis. Its chronic deficiency results in hypersensitivity to noise, and neuromuscular contractures. √ Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is mainly involved in protein metabolism, in the catabolism of fatty acids (cellular respiration). Its deficiency causes dryness of the mucous membranes, conjunctivitis, and contributes to the symptoms of beriberi. √ Vitamin B3 or niacin is involved in cellular respiration (breakdown of glucose and enzymes catalysing energy production). It dilates blood capillaries. It lowers triglyceride levels and hepatic synthesis of LDL cholesterol (anti-atheromatous action). √ Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid is involved in the regeneration of epithelia and skin appendages. It stimulates the synthesis of thyroid hormones, giving it an anti-stress, anti-fatigue, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effect. √ Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of amino acids and central nervous system proteins, and in the biosynthesis of vitamin B3. It is the vitamin of mood and dreams. Its deficiency causes skin lesions and nervous disorders. √ Vitamin B7 or inositol is lipotropic and anxiolytic. √ Vitamin B8 or biotin is involved in fatty acid metabolism, and is indispensable for the quality of the skin and skin appendages. √ Vitamin B9 or folic acid is involved in the synthesis of serine, nucleic acids, purine and pyrimidine bases, in the metabolism of tyrosine, and of vitamins C, B9 and B12. Essential for the synthesis of neurotransmitters. In pregnant women, it helps prevent foetal malformations. √ PABA or para-aminobenzoic acid is an antioxidant related to the B vitamin group. It protects the skin against excessive sun exposure. It helps preserve skin elasticity. √ Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) is anti-anaemic and anti-asthenic.
