Every living organism in nature requires vitamins in minute quantities to maintain a normal
metabolic activity. Vitamins are organic compounds that cannot be synthesized by the organism
and need to be obtained through external sources. Thus vitamin is described as a generic
descriptor for a group of chemical compounds or ingredients that have similar molecular
structure and also possess the capability to perform the required vitamin-activity in any living
organism. The chemical compounds or vitamin ingredients are known as vitamers. Vitamins are
of thirteen known different types with each type having multiple vitamers. Out of which
vitamin B-complex is categorized under a group of water-soluble vitamers that although co-
exist together but are distinct in chemical structure and functions. The existing types of vitamin
B are Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, and
Vitamin B12.
There is a continuous demand for vitamin B ingredients over the past two decades due to the
modern lifestyles and diet patterns. Vitamin B disorders are due to genetic causes or processed
food consumption. Vitamin B deficiency in the global population has led to a huge market for
Vitamin B supplements and related food products. The key vendors in vitamin B market are
Adisseo France, ADM, Amway, BASF, DSM, DuPont Danisco and Lonza Group. The factor driving
the United States vitamin B market is the increased awareness of lifestyle diseases and due to
the lack of validated studies on vitamin B, the market faces many challenges. The vitamin B
market is categorised based on geography covering North America, Europe, Middle East, Africa,
Asia-Pacific and rest of the world.
Vitamin B12, is also known as Cobalamin and is one of the available eight B vitamins. Vitamin
B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods and also available as a
dietary supplement or a prescription medication. All the B vitamins help the body convert
carbohydrates into glucose, which is used to produce energy and also help the human body use
fats and protein. For a healthy skin, hair, eyes, liver and functioning of the nervous system, B
complex vitamins are needed. The human body does not store vitamin B and it helps in the
production of DNA, RNA, and the body's genetic material. Vitamin B12 works closely with
vitamin B9 helping in the generation of red blood cells and to help iron work better in the body.
Low levels of vitamin B12 can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nervousness,
numbness and tingling sensation in the fingers and toes. Severe deficiency of vitamin B12
causes nerve damage.
