Vitamins are organic compounds that the body needs to grow properly. Vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B complex are all vitamins for brain development. Within the B complex are eight substances: vitamin B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B7 (biotin), B6 (pyroxidine), B9 (folate) and B12 (cobalamin). People usually derive these from food, but the body can produce some of them, like vitamins D and K. Others who don’t get enough nutrients from food try to compensate by taking supplements, although it has been shown that taking too-high doses of vitamins can be bad for you.
