Thorne's Stress B-Complex is designed with a clear focus on supporting the body's response to stress, primarily through a very high dosage of Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5), known for its role in adrenal health. It utilizes high-quality, bioavailable forms like Methylcobalamin for B12 and Niacinamide for B3, ensuring optimal absorption and minimizing unwanted side effects. While other B vitamins are present at sufficient, rather than excessively high, levels, the targeted potency of B5 and the overall purity expected from Thorne products justify its premium price. This product is particularly well-suited for individuals experiencing chronic stress or those seeking specific adrenal support.
- Contains a significantly high dose of Pantothenic Acid (250mg), directly targeting adrenal support and stress response.
- Uses Methylcobalamin (active B12) for superior bioavailability and neurological benefits.
- Includes Niacinamide, a non-flushing form of Niacin, which enhances tolerability.
- Manufactured by Thorne, a highly reputable brand known for exceptional product purity, quality, and efficacy.
- Formulated to be free from many common allergens and unnecessary additives.
- Significantly higher price per serving (41 cents) compared to many other B-complex supplements.
- The folate form is listed as DFE without specifying L-Methylfolate, which is the preferred active form for optimal absorption.
- Dosages for some B vitamins (e.g., Riboflavin, B6) are lower than 'B-100' complexes, which may not suit those seeking maximum potency across all B vitamins.
- Lower choline content (14mg) compared to some other comprehensive B-complex formulations.
- Individuals not experiencing significant stress or B5 deficiency may find the high Pantothenic Acid dose unnecessary or prefer a more balanced daily B-complex.
- Despite containing Niacinamide, individual sensitivities may still vary, though flushing is highly unlikely.
