Are there any warnings or side effects when using B Complex Plus?Updated 4 months ago

Warnings

Children and pregnant or lactating women should consult their healthcare practitioner prior to use. Do not use if tamper seal is damaged. Consult with a healthcare professional before use if you are using antibiotics or other medications.

When taking high doses of nutrients such as B12 and folate, monitor blood levels and use under the supervision of a qualified physician.

 

Side Effects
Side effects of B vitamins may uncommonly include:

  • Nausea
  • Orange urine
  • Stomach upset
  • Rash 
  • Flushing
  • Itching
  • Mild fever
  • Sometimes stomach upset

Individuals who have recently undergone surgery for a coronary stent should avoid using B12. 

B Complex Plus contains niacin - if you are sensitive to niacin, you may experience a "flush" sensation when using B Complex Plus. This is a result of the niacin dilating blood vessels and increasing circulation under the surface of the skin. This can cause redness, a sensation of warmth, itching, tingling or sometimes a pulsating sensation - especially in the face or neck, or the upper torso. 

If you believe that you are experiencing any adverse reactions, please see your healthcare professional immediately. Each individual may react differently to any product or supplement. We always recommend that you consult with your healthcare professional prior to considering the use of B Complex Plus or any supplement.
