Suggested Use: 1-2 capsules per day, in divided doses, with meals.
B-Complex Plus™ -
Balanced B vitamin formula essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and are perhaps the most important nutritional factor for healthy nerve cells. Great for increasing energy too!
What Is It?
B-Complex Plus is an exceptional combination of
B vitamins, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12,
biotin, and folic acid (as MetafolinL-5-MTHF), all of
which are provided in their optimal bioavailable and
functional forms.*
Features Include
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl and pyridoxal 5' phosphate),
supporting amino acid metabolism, nervous system
health, and neurotransmitter (i.e. GABA and serotonin)
synthesis, which studies have reported may help
promote menstrual comfort.
Furthermore, pyridoxine
supports healthy red blood cells by participating in
hemoglobin synthesis and some studies indicate it
supports wrist nerve comfort.*
• Vitamin B1 (thiamine HCl), processing carbohydrates,
fat, and protein via its coenzyme form of thiamine pyrophosphate
(TPP). Vitamin B1 is required to form adenosine
triphosphate (ATP), the key source of energy for the
body. Thiamine also promotes neural health.*
• Vitamin B2 (riboflavin and riboflavin 5' phosphate),
metabolizing nutrients and participating in electron
transport to form ATP. Riboflavin is an integral part of
fatty acid catabolism or B-oxidation and helps convert
folic acid and vitamins B6 to their active states.*
• Vitamin B3 (niacinamide and inositol hexaniacinate),
supporting cardiovascular health by mediating healthy
lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.*
• Vitamin B5 (calcium pantothenate), supporting
cardiovascular health. Pantothenic acid is vital in the
healthy production, transportation, and breakdown
of lipids. Furthermore, this B vitamin promotes the
production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.*
• Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), supporting healthy
nerve cell activity and DNA replication. Vitamin B12 is
a vital component of the methionine synthase
pathway, which along with folic acid and vitamin B6
supports healthy homocysteine metabolism and
S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) production.*
• Folic acid, promoting the production of healthy DNA
and chromosomes. Adequate folate status is critical
for nucleic acid synthesis and neurotransmitter
synthesis. At the molecular level, the main function of
folate is to donate methyl groups in key biochemical
reactions occurring in blood cells, neurons, the
vasculature and many other tissues. It is provided in
this formula as Metafolin, the naturally occurring
universally metabolized form of folate. Metafolin is
chemically identical to the active folate metabolite,
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). L-5-MTHF is the
predominant, naturally occurring form of folate in
food. Through bypassing several enzymatic activation
steps, it is directly usable by the body and provides all
of the benefits of folic acid regardless of functional or
genetic variations. In conjunction with vitamins B12 and
B6, folic acid helps to support healthy homocysteine
metabolism. Additionally, this B vitamin is important
for the growth and reproduction of red and white blood
cells.*
• Biotin, acting as a coenzyme for the metabolism of
fat, carbohydrates and protein.*
Uses For B-Complex Plus
These B vitamins play important roles in nearly all of
the physiological systems in the body. Some of the key
supportive roles include the maintenance of muscle tone
in the GI tract, the functioning of the nervous system, and
the integrity of skin, hair, and the liver. Furthermore, these
compounds are essential for hemoglobin formation,
nerve impulse transmissions, mood, hormone synthesis,
and energy metabolism.*
