What makes these B complex capsules special
Single-nutrient products or mediocre combinations often neglect the interplay of the B vitamins. This formula brings all eight water-soluble B vitamins together: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin). Each with its own role in metabolism, complementing one another in their interplay.
- Complete B vitamin complex: All eight B vitamins in an optimally balanced daily dose. B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12 complement each other in metabolism.
- High bioavailability: Premium raw materials such as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, riboflavin-5-phosphate, and calcium L-methylfolate come in the form the body uses directly. Bioactive forms without a conversion step.
- Scientifically grounded dosing: Aligned with the current EU nutrient reference values (NRV) for a balanced daily serving.
Why this vitamin B complex is right for you
- Energy metabolism: All eight B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism. In this formula they work together, three of them (B9, B6, B2) in the directly usable bioactive form.
- Fatigue reduction: B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Nervous system: Several B vitamins, including B1, B3, B6, and B12, contribute to the normal function of the nervous system. B6, B9, and B12 support normal psychological function.
- Immune system: Vitamins B6, B9, and B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
- Skin and mucous membranes: B2, B3, and B7 contribute to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
- Easy to take: Two capsules per day with water at breakfast. Since the body can only store B vitamins to a limited extent, a daily routine is worthwhile.
Bioactive forms plus five co-factors
With a vitamin B complex like this one, the question arises: in what form are the B vitamins present? Classic folic acid must first be activated by the body. In around half of all people, this step via the enzyme MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) works only to a limited extent. Calcium L-methylfolate, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, and riboflavin-5-phosphate come ready to use, without this activation step.
Vitamin B9 contributes to normal red blood cell formation, B6 to the normal function of the nervous system, B2 to the reduction of fatigue. The three activated forms each contribute to functions of the B vitamin complex.
Beyond the eight B vitamins, the formula contains five co-factors. Substances that interact with the B vitamins in metabolism. Co-factors are not B vitamins in the strict sense, but companion compounds from the extended metabolic environment. They complement the metabolic pathway surrounding the eight classic B vitamins. They are usually missing from classic B complex products.
- Citicoline (150 mg) (formerly B4): water-soluble choline, a component of the cell membrane and the architecture of nerve cells. Citicoline is the activated form of choline, which the body processes faster than classic choline bitartrate.
- Myo-inositol (150 mg) (formerly B8): an inositol form from the B vitamin environment, formerly listed as vitamin B8. A component of numerous metabolic signals and cell membrane components.
- PABA (50 mg) (formerly B10): para-aminobenzoic acid, a precursor from folate metabolism. PABA belongs to the extended B vitamin environment and occurs naturally in some foods.
- DMG (125 mg) (formerly B16): dimethylglycine, a companion compound from glycine metabolism. DMG is metabolically linked to folate and B12.
- Apricot kernel extract (500 mg) (formerly B17): a tenfold concentrated extract from apricot kernels. A classic member of the extended B vitamin family, long listed as vitamin B17.
Eight classic active ingredients plus five co-factors in one daily dose. Few complexes bring together all the bioactive forms and co-factors. This one is one of them.
Who these 8 B vitamins are ideal for
Afternoon tiredness. Exhaustion after prolonged strain. A B vitamin requirement that goes beyond the usual. Do you recognize yourself in one of these profiles?
- Athletes and physically active people: Several B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and support energy and vitality. Relevant with intense training loads in everyday life or in competition, where the daily requirement of micronutrients is often higher than with a sedentary lifestyle.
- Elevated everyday stress with tiredness: Under sustained high strain, the daily requirement of B vitamins often increases. B vitamins contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- One-sided diet or dieting phases: With a limited food selection, one daily serving secures the intake of all eight B vitamins plus co-factors at once. You don't need to take five different products to cover the complex.
- Vegans and vegetarians with elevated B12 needs: Vitamin B12 occurs almost exclusively in animal-based foods. With a plant-based diet, the daily serving delivers a complete B12 supply. B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation and to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
- Professionals with high mental workload: B1, B3, B6, and B12 contribute to the normal function of the nervous system, B5 supports normal mental performance. Important for nerves, concentration, and mental resilience in everyday office life.
