It is made up of a porphyrin like ring with a central cobalt atom attached to a nucleotide. It is required in body for growth, cell production and for blood and nerve function. The source of vitamin B12 is microbial synthesis, it is not present in plants or cereal grains to a measurable extent. The chief dietary source is microbially derived vitamin B12 in meat, eggs and dairy products. Humans must obtain the vitamin from the dietary intake of animal products.

is a heat labile, water soluble bicyclic compound.

Thiamine HCI (Vitamin B1) is involved in carbohydrate metabolism in the body. it’s supplements are required to treat or prevent stomach, heart or nerve problems caused by inappropriate amount of thiamine. Thiamine deficiency can occur as a result of malnutrition or in conditions requiring increased need, such as pregnancy or illness.
