Vitamin B Complex

Vitamin B complex contains all the vitamins in the B group. B vitamins are water-soluble. This means they are dissolved in water and your body doesn't store them. The B vitamins are related to each other and work closely in your body. For this reason, having all the B vitamins in your body helps your body work better.
