Vitamin B complex, especially B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin), is scientifically recognized for its essential roles in supporting the nervous system, energy metabolism, and cellular function. The "Solar Plexus" is a term used in both anatomical and metaphysical contexts. Anatomically, it refers to the celiac plexus—a network of nerves in the abdomen that is critical for autonomic regulation of digestive organs. In complementary and alternative medicine, particularly in chakra systems, the solar plexus is considered a center of energy and personal power. While there is little scientific validation for energy centers in the metaphysical sense, there is robust evidence that B vitamins are necessary for the healthy functioning of the nervous system, including the autonomic nerves innervating the digestive organs located in the solar plexus region. Deficiencies in B vitamins can lead to neuropathies and impaired energy metabolism, which may manifest as fatigue, digestive issues, and nerve dysfunction in the abdominal area. Therefore, using vitamin B to "support the solar plexus" is scientifically grounded if referring to physical nerve and metabolic health in the anatomical region. However, claims relating to direct effects on metaphysical energy centers are not supported by scientific evidence.
