What is the purpose of each ingredient in B Complex Plus?Updated 4 months ago

 

Ingredient

Purpose

Thiamin

Supports healthy carbohydrate metabolism and nervous system.†

Niacin

Supports healthy energy production, skin, and metabolism.†

Biotin

Supports healthy carbohydrate metabolism and skin, hair, and nails.†

Pantothenic Acid

Supports healthy adrenal function and healthy inflammatory processes.†

Choline

Supports a healthy brain, liver, and cellular walls.†

Riboflavin

Supports cellular health and acts as a cofactor for many genes in the folate pathway, including MTHFR. Supports healthy methylation.†

Vitamin B6

Supports normal metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Acts as a cofactor for the CBS gene, which processes homocysteine.†

Folate

Supports normal methylation.†

Vitamin B12

Supports the healthy regulation of homocysteine levels.†

 

  • Active Folate

    Two natural folates are added by Dr. Lynch. There is no unnatural folic acid. L-methylfolate supports healthy methylation while folinic acid supports healthy blood cells, platelets, skin and neurotransmitters.

  • Bioavailable Folate & B12

    Methylated folate and B12 support healthy homocysteine levels, cardiovascular health, methylation processes, energy production, detoxification and MTHFR variations.

  • Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)

    This is the MTHFR gene cofactor, which produces the active form of folate. It supports hormone balance, nervous system function, cellular energy production, and glutathione recycling. It is a cofactor for the MAOA enzyme, helping metabolize dopamine for feelings of calm. Also aids in healthy serotonin and histamine levels.

  • Niacin

    Vitamin B3 is a building block for NAD+, which are essential in the Krebs cycle for energy production. It also supports circulation, MTRR enzyme function, healthy lipid levels and joint lubrication.

  • Vitamin B6 (P-5-P)

    This active form of vitamin B6 is involved in over 140 different enzymatic reactions in the body. It supports healthy ammonia levels, absorption of magnesium into red blood cells, neurological function, serotonin synthesis and hormone metabolism, as well as homocysteine and glutathione formation.

  • Thiamin

    Vitamin B1 supports healthy carbohydrate metabolism and detoxification.

  • Biotin

    Supports healthy skin and nails.

  • Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)

    Essential for proper cortisol regulation and adrenal function. It is also a cofactor for the NAT2 enzyme, which metabolizes histamine to acetyl histamine and eliminates it in the urine

  • Choline (as phosphatidylcholine and choline bitartrate)

    Our soy-free blend protects vitamin C through the GI tract. This greatly enhances cellular bioavailability, delivery, and absorption. It can also reduce the GI side effects experienced with some vitamin C supplements.
