Vitamin B can be of the following types B1 (thiamine), B2(riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic), B6, B12, B9, and B7. The chemical ingredients that constitute vitamins are called vitamers. Vitamins can contain multiple vitamers. For example, Vitamin A contains six vitamers — retinal, retinol, and four types of carotenoids. Human body does not produce vitamin by itself, so human beings depend on secondary sources such as food and supplements for vitamins.
