Abstract in brief

  • The B-vitamins are eight essential water-soluble vitamins that help with cellular functions and are crucial for brain health, influencing energy production, DNA/RNA repair, and neurochemical synthesis.
  • Most studies have mainly focused on just a few B-vitamins (B9, B12, and B6) linked to homocysteine metabolism, neglecting the importance of the entire group.
  • Research indicates many people in developed countries are deficient in these vitamins, suggesting a need for greater intake of all B-vitamins beyond current dietary guidelines to support optimal brain function.
