Vitamin B Supplements

Supplements belong to a group of medicines known as vitamins.

Vitamin B complex is a combination of three main B vitamins (B1, B2 and Nicotinamide) and six other non-essential vitamins.

Vitamin B1 is useful in treatment of nervous disorders and protects against imbalances caused by alcoholism, poor diet, starvation, and overcooked food.
