An excellent, high-potency B-complex utilizing active forms of B vitamins, providing robust foundational support for skin and hair health.
This product is a high-potency B-complex, specifically featuring active (coenzymated) forms of B vitamins such as L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate for Folate and Methylcobalamin for Vitamin B12, along with Pyridoxine Hydrochloride and Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate for Vitamin B6. This is a significant advantage for individuals who may have genetic variations affecting B-vitamin metabolism. It provides substantial doses of all major B vitamins, including 300mcg of Biotin, 25mg of PABA, and 40mg of Inositol. These ingredients are vital for cellular energy production, nerve function, and red blood cell formation, all of which indirectly support healthy skin and hair by ensuring optimal cellular function. While not a dedicated 'beauty' supplement, its foundational support is very strong.
- Uses highly bioavailable, active (coenzymated) forms of B vitamins, ensuring optimal absorption and utilization.
- Provides comprehensive and high doses of all essential B vitamins, including Biotin, PABA, Inositol, and Choline.
- Strong foundational support for cellular health, metabolism, and energy production, which benefits skin and hair indirectly.
- Not a dedicated hair, skin, and nail formula, so it lacks specific beauty-focused ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid, or high-dose antioxidants found in some multi-beauty supplements.
- May be more expensive than basic B-complexes due to the use of active vitamin forms.
- High doses of certain B vitamins can cause temporary skin flushing (niacin flush) in sensitive individuals, though Niacinamide form is used here which is less likely to cause this.

This makes it a foundational powerhouse for hair.
Skin Health 75.0
