What are B Vitamins?

  • The main B vitamins that are involved with your immune system are vitamin B6, B9 (folate) and B12

  • Your body uses each B vitamin slightly differently. In general, they are important for building soldiers (cells) and fueling the creation of antibodies that lead to long-term immunity.

  • Vitamins B6 and B12 are in animal products like fish, poultry, eggs and dairy. They’re also in nuts and other plants.

  • B9 (folate) is mainly found in plants , especially in leafy green veggies like spinach.
