A premium, whole-food derived B-complex featuring highly bioavailable forms of B12 and Folate, ideal for those prioritizing natural and organic supplementation.
This B-complex distinguishes itself by deriving its vitamins from an organic food blend, which means the B vitamins are naturally occurring rather than synthetic. This whole-food approach is often favored by nutritionists and consumers for potentially better absorption and the presence of synergistic phytonutrients. Crucially, it provides Vitamin B12 in the highly bioavailable Methylcobalamin form and Folate as natural food-derived folate, avoiding synthetic Folic Acid, which is a significant advantage for those with MTHFR variations or general preference for active forms. While the potencies for some B vitamins are moderate compared to high-dose synthetic complexes, the quality and source of the ingredients justify its premium positioning in the market.
- Vitamins are derived from organic whole foods, enhancing natural appeal and potential absorption.
- Contains Vitamin B12 as Methylcobalamin, a highly bioavailable and preferred form.
- Includes natural Folate from food blend, superior to synthetic Folic Acid.
- Certified organic and non-GMO, appealing to consumers seeking clean supplements.
- Free from synthetic binders, fillers, or artificial ingredients often found in conventional supplements.
- Significantly higher price per serving compared to most synthetic B-complex supplements.
- Potencies for some B vitamins (e.g., Thiamin, Biotin) are moderate compared to high-dose synthetic formulations.
- Does not include Vitamin C, which is often found in comprehensive B-complexes for added support.
- Individuals switching from high-potency synthetic B-complexes might notice a difference in the 'energy boost' due to lower dosages of some B vitamins, though absorption may be improved.
