Abstract

The B-vitamins play important functions in maintaining the health of female athletes and active women (Maughan 1999; Manore 1999, 2000; Lukaski 2004; Wildman and Miller 2004; Woolf and Manore 2006, 2007; Volpe 2007; Manore et al. 2009). Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, biotin, and choline function as coenzymes in the energy-producing pathways of the body, while folate and vitamin B₁₂ are required for the production of healthy red blood cells and cell regeneration.
