Vitamin E: An antioxidant that protects cells from damage.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): Important for energy production and nerve function. 
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Helps in energy production and cell growth. 
Vitamin B3 (Niacin): Important for energy production and nerve function. 
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): Aids in energy production and cell growth
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Important for nerve function and immune function. 
Vitamin B7 (Biotin): Plays a role in energy production and cell growth. 
Vitamin B9 (Folate): Crucial for DNA synthesis, cell division, and preventing neural tube defects. 
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): Important for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.
