A high-quality, coenzymated B-complex with superior bioavailable forms of B vitamins, including PABA, offering excellent support for overall health, skin, and hair at a moderate price.
Quantity: 100
This B-complex excels in its choice of ingredient forms, utilizing Methylcobalamin for B12, Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate for B6, Riboflavin 5-Phosphate for B2, and a blend of Folic Acid and L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid for Folate. These active forms bypass the need for the body to convert them, ensuring immediate utilization and making them particularly beneficial for individuals with genetic variations affecting nutrient metabolism. It also includes 25mg of Para-Aminobenzoic Acid (PABA) and Inositol, contributing to its comprehensive profile. Bluebonnet is a highly regarded brand known for its commitment to purity and quality. Nutritionists widely recommend coenzymated B vitamins for optimal health benefits, including supporting energy production, nervous system function, and metabolic processes vital for healthy skin and hair.
- Uses active/coenzymated forms of B vitamins (e.g., Methylcobalamin, P-5-P, L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid) for superior bioavailability.
- Comprehensive B-complex provides broad support for energy, metabolism, and nervous system.
- Includes PABA and Inositol, beneficial cofactors for health.
- From a reputable brand (Bluebonnet) known for quality and clean ingredients.
- PABA dose (25mg) is lower than dedicated PABA supplements, so it's not a primary PABA product.
- Still contains some Folic Acid alongside L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid, though the latter is the active form.
- Individuals new to active B vitamins may experience increased energy, consult a healthcare professional for appropriate dosing.
- Check for compatibility with other supplements to avoid excessive intake of certain nutrients.
