B-Complex '100' supplies B vitamins that can help fill dietary gaps linked with tiredness and support normal energy metabolism.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality60

Several B-vitamin forms support a favorable view of ingredient quality, while riboflavin is less favorable. Missing form and blend details prevent a complete comparison.

Ingredient Transparency72

The listed nutrient and blend amounts and most forms are stated. The blend contents and B5 mixture proportions are not disclosed, leaving parts of the formula unclear.

Value For Money55

Value is favorable for riboflavin and B6, but weaker for vitamin B5, choline and thiamin. Several other nutrients cannot be compared reliably on value, leaving a mixed picture for the combination.

Customer Satisfaction77

Customer ratings are very positive. Several hundred ratings provide a useful picture of satisfaction, without proving an energy boost.

Product Focus35

The B vitamins support normal metabolism and can help with tiredness caused by low intake. The 100 mg B6 serving raises a concern about sensory nerve damage with long-term use, limiting suitability for routine supplementation.
