Vitamin B Complex consists of how many vitamins?

Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Correct Answer: Option B — 8
The Vitamin B complex is a group of eight water-soluble vitamins that play vital roles in cell metabolism, energy production, and the synthesis of red blood cells.

The 8 Vitamins of the B Complex:
The group is numbered, but there are "gaps" in the sequence (such as B4, B8, B10, and B11) because those substances were later discovered to not meet the strict definition of a vitamin.
Key Points:
Water-Soluble: Unlike fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), B vitamins are not stored in the body in large amounts and must be consumed regularly.

Deficiency: A lack of specific B vitamins can lead to conditions like Beriberi (B1), Pellagra (B3), or Anemia (B9/B12).
Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
