There are different forms and active ingredients for all B vitamins. A distinction must be made between synthetic and directly active, bioidentical vitamin forms: the former do not occur in nature or in our bodies and must first be converted, while the latter have an immediate effect. For this B complex, we only use active bioidentical forms with optimum bioavailability and direct effect. The only exception is vitamin B1, the active form of which is not approved as a food supplement in Germany.

For some of the B vitamins, there is not just one, but several important natural forms. This applies in particular to B12 and folic acid. In contrast to many conventional B12 preparations, the vitamin B12-MH3A® formula introduced by us as a B12 pioneer supplies vitamin B12 in the same way as it occurs in natural foods: as a mixture of all three natural and bioactive forms of vitamin B12 in an optimal synergy. This is because all three forms fulfill different tasks in the body and have different focal points of action. Our MH3A® formula contains all three forms of vitamin B12 in an equal, balanced ratio of five B12 active ingredients and thus provides the ideal foundational supply - because in nature, all three forms are always found together both in our bodies and in food. On the market, it is common to find preparations with only one of the three B12 active ingredients (methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin or adenosylcobalamin).

Conventional folic acid, which is still used in many food supplements, is an artificial, synthetic product that is not found in this form in nature and cannot be directly utilised by the body. Synthetic folic acid must first be converted into active folate in the body before it can have an effect. This conversion is not always possible as additional cofactors and enzymes are required. In our unique folate complex, we have combined natural folic acid from lemon peel and three premium, patented folates: the glucosamine salt Quatrefolic®, the highly available calcium salts Magnafolate® Pro and Metafolin®. All three forms provide 99.9% pure L-methylfolate and complement each other through rapid and effective absorption of the bioactive L-5-MTHF. The form that absorbs better varies from person to person. The folate complex of high-quality components ensures that the body is supplied with sufficient folate in the ideal form in every case.

The other vitamins are also contained in their active forms, such as vitamin B6 as P5P (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) or vitamin B2 as R5P/FMN (riboflavin 5'-sodium phosphate).

In addition to the eight vitamins of the B complex, there are four important cofactors that were also counted among the B vitamins for many years: choline/chiticoline (formerly vitamin B4), betaine/TMG (methyl choline), myo-inositol (formerly vitamin B8) and NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride), also known as "coenzyme 1," as the active form of vitamin B3.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Effects

B Vitamins

Today, the B vitamins include eight water-soluble vital substances known as vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, biotin and folic acid. In contrast to other vitamins, the B vitamins cannot be stored in the body over a longer period of time and must therefore be supplied daily through food. The only exception here is vitamin B12, which can be stored in the liver.

Some of the B vitamins work very closely together and their effects are interdependent. It is therefore important to ensure an adequate supply of all B vitamins. This is not always easy: as the B vitamins are distributed across all food groups, only a very balanced diet provides all B vitamins in sufficient quantities. Consequently, even large nutritional studies repeatedly show significant gaps in the supply of B vitamins.

High-Dose B-Complex Forte with four cofactors

Directly bioactive B vitamins provide optimal bioavailability and efficacy to the body. The B vitamins included here are in highly effective, bioidentical forms as well as in active coenzyme forms. The addition of choline, betaine, inositol and PAPA, cofactors which were formerly considered B vitamins, further increases their bioavailability and efficacy.

- Thiamine (B1) is involved in energy production as well as the normal functioning of the nervous system and brain.
- Riboflavin (B2) plays a role in energy production, the reduction of fatigue and in maintaining healthy skin and mucous membranes as well as in the protection of cells and DNA against oxidative stress.
- Nicotinamide (B3) contributes to the regulation of energy and fatigue and is needed for the function of the nervous system, brain, skin and mucous membranes as well as being involved in serotonin and melatonin synthesis.
- Pantothenic acid (B5) plays a role in energy production in the mitochondria and is required for the synthesis of protein, cholesterol, steroid hormones and neurotransmitters as well as for the metabolism of vitamins A and D.
- Pyridoxine (B6) contributes to erythropoiesis and supports energy metabolism, hormone activity and the immune and nervous systems as well as playing a crucial role in amino acid metabolism.
- Folic acid (B9) plays a role in cell division, blood formation and amino acid and homocysteine metabolism as well as being essential for healthy pregnancies.
- Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is required for erythropoiesis and for building DNA and proteins.

There are several vitamin-like nutrients that work together with the B vitamins as cofactors. Due to their close interaction, these compounds were considered B vitamins themselves until recently.

- Choline (formerly vitamin B4) is part of acetylcholine, one of the most important neurotransmitters in humans, and supports fat and homocysteine metabolism as well as healthy liver function.
- Betaine (in the form of trimethylglycine/TMG) is an activated form of choline and plays an important role in the methylation cycle and in homocysteine metabolism.
- Inositol (formerly vitamin B8), part of the cell membrane, is a precursor of many chemical messengers and plays an important role in cell metabolism as a secondary messenger.
- NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride), the active form of vitamin B3 (niacin), also known as "coenzyme 1," is involved in numerous redox reactions of the cell's metabolism.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), B vitamins contribute to:

- Maintaining normal skin and mucous membranes
- Maintaining normal hair
- Maintaining normal cognitive function
- Normal macronutrient metabolism
- Normal energy metabolism
- Normal functioning of the nervous system
- Normal heart function
- Maintaining normal iron metabolism
- Maintaining normal red blood cells
- Protecting DNA, proteins and lipids from oxidative stress
- Cell division
- Maintaining normal cysteine synthesis
- Maintaining normal amino acid synthesis
