B Complex (Noun)

Originally thought to be a single vitamin but now separated into several B vitamins.

Nouns denoting substances.

The b_complex group of vitamins includes thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and several others that work together in various metabolic processes.
In the early 20th century, the b_complex was identified as a single compound but later found to comprise multiple vitamins.
Foods rich in b_complex vitamins, such as whole grains, legumes, and nuts, provide a balanced intake of these essential nutrients.
Supplements containing b_complex are often taken by people following a restrictive diet to prevent deficiency of these vital vitamins.
Unlike vitamin C or other singular vitamins, the b_complex vitamins must be ingested together in a balanced mix for optimal nutritional benefits.
