What makes these B complex capsules special
Individual supplements or mediocre combinations often neglect the interaction of the B vitamins. This formula brings together all eight water-soluble B vitamins: B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate) and B12 (cobalamin). Each with its own task in the metabolism, which complement each other.
- 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 the metabolism.
- High bioavailability: Premium raw materials such as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, riboflavin-5-phosphate and calcium-L-methylfolate are available in the form that the body uses directly. Bioactive forms without a conversion step.
- Scientifically based dosage: Based on the current EU nutrient reference values (NRV) for a balanced daily portion.
Why this vitamin B complex is right for you
- Energy metabolism: All eight B vitamins contribute to normal energy 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 help to reduce 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 mental function.
- Immune system: Vitamin 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 a day with water at breakfast. As 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, the question arises: in what form are the B vitamins present? The body must first activate classic folic acid. In around half of people, this step via the enzyme MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) only takes place to a limited extent. Calcium-L-methylfolate, pyridoxal-5-phosphate and riboflavin-5-phosphate are ready for immediate use without this activation step.
Vitamin B9 contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells, B6 to the normal function of the nervous system, B2 to the reduction of tiredness. The three activated forms each contribute to the functions of the B-vitamin complex.
In addition to the eight B vitamins, there are five co-factors in the formula. These are substances that interact with the B vitamins in the metabolism. Co-factors are not B vitamins in the strict sense, but rather accompanying substances from the extended metabolic environment. They supplement the metabolic pathway around the eight classic B vitamins. They are usually missing in classic B-complex preparations.
- Citicoline (150 mg): Water-soluble choline, a component of the cell membrane and nerve cell architecture. Citicoline is the activated form of choline, which the body processes faster than classic choline bitartrate.
- Myo-Inositol (150 mg): Inositol form from the B-vitamin family, formerly known as vitamin B8. A component of numerous metabolic signals and cell membrane components.
- PABA (50 mg): Para-aminobenzoic acid, a precursor from the folate metabolism. PABA belongs to the extended B-vitamin family and occurs naturally in some foods.
- DMG (125 mg): Dimethylglycine, a by-product of glycine metabolism. DMG is associated with folate and B12 in the metabolism.
- Apricot kernel extract: Tenfold concentrated extract from apricot kernels. Classic component from the extended B-vitamin family, long known as vitamin B17.
Eight classic active ingredients plus five co-factors in one daily dose. A few complexes bring together all bioactive forms and co-factors. This is one of them.
Who are these 8 B vitamins ideal for
Tiredness in the afternoon. Exhaustion after prolonged exertion. 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 metabolism and support energy and vitality. Relevant during intensive training in everyday life or in competition, where the daily requirement of micronutrients is often higher than during sedentary activity.
- Increased everyday stress with fatigue: The daily requirement for B vitamins often increases with sustained high levels of stress. B vitamins help to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
- Unbalanced diet or diet phases: With a limited choice of foods, one daily portion ensures the intake of all eight B vitamins plus co-factors at once. You don't have to take five different supplements to cover the complex.
- Vegans and vegetarians with an increased B12 requirement: Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in animal foods. With a plant-based diet, the daily portion provides a complete supply of B12. B12 contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and to normal energy metabolism.
- Professionals with high mental stress: 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.
