- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) – Important for energy production, skin health, and eye health. Found in dairy, eggs, and leafy greens.
- Vitamin B3 (Niacin) – Helps with energy metabolism, brain function, and cholesterol regulation. Found in poultry, fish, and whole grains.
- Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) – Essential for making coenzyme A, which helps with metabolism. Found in meat, avocados, and whole grains.
- Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) – Supports brain development, immune function, and the production of neurotransmitters. Found in bananas, poultry, and potatoes.
- Vitamin B7 (Biotin) – Important for healthy hair, skin, and nails, as well as metabolism. Found in eggs, nuts, and seeds.
