It has long been understood that B vitamins are involved with breaking down Carbohydrates and proteins into energy an amino acids needed to build a healthy body.

The B group of vitamins are all water soluble vitamins, meaning that unused quantities are not stored in the body for later use, but rather continually flushed out by the liver in urine. This necessitates that they are continually replaced by your diet so that they are available when your body needs them. Many of these are involved in converting Proteins into energy and other building blocks (amino acids).

Vitamin B's, in particular, are linked to brain and nerve performance. Of particular interest at the moment is  Vitamin B7 (H) or Biotin.
