Salmon is an excellent source of several B vitamins, which are needed for energy production, controlling inflammation and protecting heart and brain health.

Below is the B vitamin content in 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of wild salmon:

• Vitamin B1 (thiamin): 18% of the RDI
• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): 29% of the RDI
• Vitamin B3 (niacin): 50% of the RDI
• Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): 19% of the RDI
• Vitamin B6: 47% of the RDI
• Vitamin B9 (folic acid): 7% of the RDI
• Vitamin B12: 51% of the RDI

These vitamins are involved in several important processes in your body, including turning the food you eat into energy, creating and repairing DNA and reducing the inflammation that can lead to heart disease.

Studies have shown that all of the B vitamins work together to maintain optimal functioning of your brain and nervous system. Unfortunately, even people in developed countries may become deficient in one or more of these vitamins.
