What are the benefits of thiamin and folate from natural sources?

Water-soluble B vitamins are transiently available in trace amounts unlike the fat-soluble vitamins that are stored in

the body system. Further, the absorption of B vitamins is impacted by their bioavailability (ability to be released from

the food-matrix) and gastrointestinal function. Therefore, daily intake is required due to limited storage in the liver,

and supplementation of B-vitamin-rich natural food source may improve the bioavailability and related health

outcome.
