1. Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)
Food sources of vitamin B1 include sunflower seeds, grains, peas,
watermelons, oysters and oatmeal. The function of Thiamin is as part of the
coenzyme which is boosted by the body's energy metabolism, improves brain
function, protects the body's nervous system and helps the production of red
blood cells.
2. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Nutritional sources of this vitamin are milk and other dairy products such as
cheese, vegetables such as broccoli and spinach. All are good sources for
meeting the needs of vitamin B2. The function of this vitamin is to help
enzymes produce energy and help produce red blood cells.
3. Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Nutritional sources of this vitamin are meat, chicken and fish. Niacin has its
own uniqueness which is able to produce two coenzymes namely NAD
(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotid) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide phosphate), which produces glucose metabolic activity, fat for
the body. Niacin can also form amino acid tryptophan which is able to calm
the central nervous system.
7. Vitamin B8 (Biotin)
Biotin, also known as vitamin B8, is found in food sources such as nuts, milk, fat fish,
wheat and cabbage. Biotin functions to maintain the immune system, produce red
blood cells, keep the skin and hair healthy and maintain the functioning of the
nervous system.
8. Vitamin B11 (Folic Acid)
This water-soluble vitamin is known as Folate in its actual form.
Folic acid works with Vitamin B12 to form healthy red blood cells,
so we will avoid anemia. Folate is also needed by the body to
create DNA, so that birth defects during early pregnancy can be
avoided. Food sources of vitamin B11 are spinach, broccoli,
cabbage, cabbage, bananas, avocados, oranges, papaya, potatoes,
beans, sunflower seeds.
9. Vitamin C
Sources of vitamin C include oranges, melons, berries, broccoli, and
cabbage. Vitamin C works as an antioxidant and forms collagen,
fiber, protein structure in the body. Vitamin C also increases the
body's resistance to infections, and helps the body absorb iron.

bleeding under the skin (around the eyes and gums), tired, muscle weakness,
depression easly, anemia ,of fatigue, headache, and irritability.
* If the excess: can cause diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and fatigue.
2. Vitamin B1 (Thiamin)
* If deficiencies: fluid buildup in tissues so susceptible to beriberi, decrease
in body resistance to easily be threatened by various infectious diseases,
inhibit the process of glycolysis, transmission of impulses to the weakened
nervous system, decreased appetite, disrupt the contraction of the heart
muscle.
* If the excess: rare and even if excess, this vitamin will be discharged out of
the body with urine. However, if a "procedure error" occurs that cannot be
removed, it is likely that kidney failure will occur.
3. VITAMIN B2 (Riboflavin)

lips crack, skin disorders around the nose and lips appear.
* If the excess: rare happen

* If deficiencies: pelagra disease (with symptoms of
dermatitis, diarrhea, dimensia), easily damaged skin, the
tongue becomes slippery, easily attacked by diarrhea,
becomes temperamental (irritable), or often confused.
* If the excess: skin around the neck, face, and palms peeled

susceptible to infections and convulsions, pain in the wrist, easily
depressed.
* If the excess: although rare, in the long term can cause nerve
damage.

confused and moody, easy to experience delusions (fantasizing), fatigue, loss of
balance, decreased reflexes, numbness, causing hearing loss, causing symptoms
of anemia which includes fatigue, loss of appetite , diarrhea, causing disruption
of nerve cell formation, resulting in damage to the nervous system.
