B complex vitamins and the biochemical network

"Be careful about reading health books.  You may die of a misprint."      - Mark Twain

This installment will go into more depth on B vitamins as an example of a biochemical network in
building and maintaining your health. In fact, we often refer to these as B complex vitamins to emphasize their interactions and interdependence.

Many of the B vitamins were discovered and eventually isolated during the first half of the 1900's. They include B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 pantothenic acid, B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cobalamin), folic acid or folate, and biotin.
