Vitamin B complex, particularly vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin), plays essential roles in hepatic (liver) health. These vitamins function as coenzymes in numerous metabolic pathways, including those involved in energy metabolism, detoxification, and synthesis of essential biomolecules within the liver. Deficiencies in B vitamins are linked to various hepatic dysfunctions: for example, thiamine deficiency can lead to hepatic encephalopathy, while folate and B12 deficiencies are associated with elevated homocysteine and increased risk of liver fibrosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Clinical studies have shown that B vitamin supplementation can improve liver function parameters in patients with chronic liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, and NAFLD. B vitamins also help mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation, both critical in the progression of liver disorders. While supplementation is primarily beneficial for individuals with established deficiencies or increased requirements (such as those with alcoholism or liver disease), the scientific evidence supports their pivotal role in hepatic function and recovery. Thus, the use of vitamin B to support the hepatic system is justified by well-established scientific evidence, as reflected in medical guidelines and clinical research.
