Does B Complex Help With B complex vitamins act as cofactors in energy metabolism ...?

Moderate Evidence

Evidence Summary

B complex vitamins act as cofactors in energy metabolism and have demonstrated adjunctive analgesic effects when combined with NSAIDs for musculoskeletal pain conditions such as chronic low back pain (PMID: 41604864) and foot/ankle disorders (PMID: 41231871). Combined B-vitamin supplementation (folic acid, B6, B12) significantly reduces serum homocysteine levels and vascular restenosis in coronary heart disease patients, though effects on major cardiovascular events and mortality remain inconclusive across 13 RCTs (n=14,539) (PMID: 41610824). B vitamins also support nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injury and play essential roles in cellular metabolism and erythrocyte synthesis, with deficiencies producing characteristic mucocutaneous manifestations (PMID: 41683243, PMID: 38191831).
