	B vitamins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vitamin B is a complex of eight water soluble vitamins, active in cell metabolism.
		Since later research has shown it is in fact a complex of chemically distinct vitamins that happen to often coexist in the same foods, the name has gradually declined in use, being replaced by the generic term "the B vitamins", the vitamin B complex, or by the specific names of each vitamin.
		As might be expected due to its high content of brewer's yeast, beer is a good source of B vitamins [4], [5], although this may not be true of filtered beers [6], [7]; in fact, beer is sometimes referred to as "liquid bread" [8].

		Since the person with a B vitamin dependency requires large doses of one or more vitamins simply to maintain normal nutrition and avoid cellular malnutrition, it is extremely disturbing to witness the energy and persistence with which some medical practitioners have sought to discredit or prevent this form of therapy (113, 113a).
		Vitamin B6 is necessary for the fat metabolising actions of choline (173) and is also intricately linked to the metabolism of essential fatty acids (55, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131) which are known to play a vital part in fat metabolism and atherosclerosis (55, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138).

	Asthma: B vitamins and alternative nutritional therapies
		Vitamin A is also essential for the mucous membranes (18) and vitamin A deficiency in asthmatic children has been reported to vary according to the severity of the asthma (46).

	Folic acid, B vitamins, homocysteine, antioxidants information on MedicineNet.com
		Homocysteine is metabolized (chemically transformed) into methionine and cysteine with the help of the B vitamins; folic acid, B12, and B6 (pyridoxine).
		The optimal doses of the B vitamins, folic acid, B12, and B6, required to prevent and treat hyperhomocysteinemia are also uncertain.
		These results may possibly be due to the low doses of vitamin E used, the small number of patients in the study, or the limited duration of treatment.

		At least two B vitamins have shown toxity when given in large doses: they are B3 (nictoninic acid and, in animals, niacinamide) which can cause liver toxicity above 1000 mg a day (human equivalent), and B6, which has caused neuopathy in doses as low as 200 mg a day for some months.
