B Vitamins

Here is a list of the eight B vitamins, they carry also different other names under which you might know them better. Especially Folic Acid is much better known under this name instead of vitamin B9:

* Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
* Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
* Vitamin B3, also Vitamin P or Vitamin PP (Niacin)* Vitamin B4 (Adenine)
* Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid)
* Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine)
* Vitamin B7, also Vitamin H (Biotin)
* Vitamin B9, also Vitamin M and Vitamin B-c (Folic acid)
* Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)

Students of nutritional science use a mnemonic phrase to remember the most commonly referenced B vitamins: "The (B1, Thiamine) Rhythm (B2, Riboflavin) Nearly (B3, Niacin) Proved (B6, Pyridoxine) Contagious (B12, Cobalamin)" - this results in this short and easy to remember phrase:
"The Rhythm Nearly Proved Contagious"

.

These "Vitamin B's" are no longer classified as a vitamin because they are synthesized by the human body:

* Vitamin B4 (Adenine)
* Vitamin B8 (Myo-inositol, Adenylic acid)
* Vitamin B10 (Para-aminobenzoic acid, PABA)
* Vitamin B13 (Orotic acid, Pyrimidinecarboxylic acid)
* Vitamin B15 (Pangamic acid)
* Vitamin B16 (Dimethylglycine)
* Vitamin B17 (Amygdalin)
* Vitamin B20 (Carnitine)

* Vitamin Bm (Inositol)
* Vitamin Bp (Choline)
* Vitamin Bx (4-Aminobenzoic acid)
