What Are B Vitamins?

B group vitamin or B complex was once thought of as being one vitamin because the vitamins which made up the group had similar nutritional values.

B complex is actually made up of these vitamins:

  • Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
  • Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
  • Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
  • Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)
  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
  • Vitamin B8 (Folate)
  • Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid)
  • Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
  • Vitamin B13 (Orotic Acid)
  • Vitamin B15 (Pangamic Acid)
  • Vitamin B17 (Laetrile)
  • Biotin
  • Choline
Except for vitamin B12, the B group of vitamins are water soluble vitamins.

Which B Group Vitamins Can Help With Your Back Muscle Pain?

There are three vitamins from the B Group of vitamins which can help to reduce your back muscle pain.

They are:

  • Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
  • Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
  • Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
A combination of all three vitamins needs to be taken to help reduce your muscle back pain.

Trials have shown that by taking a combination of these vitamins, you can reduce anti-inflammatory medication and reduce the chances of further muscle back pain.

B vitamins are known to strengthen and nourish nerve tissue; this also makes them good for back pain due to damaged nerves.

As with supplements, please consult with your doctor before taking them.
