The difference between Vitamin B9 & Vitamin B12
1/06/2022
B vitamins are a group of eight water-soluble vitamins – B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate) and B12 (cobalamin) – that act as cofactors, precursors and substrates for numerous biological processes. They are involved in cell metabolism, brain function, energy production, DNA/RNA synthesis and repair, as well as in the synthesis of a number of neurochemicals and signalling molecules (Kennedy, 2016).
