B-Complex Plus™ is an exceptional combination of B
vitamins, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, biotin, and folic acid,
all of which are provided in their optimal bioavailable and functional forms.* Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl and pyridoxal 5’
phosphate), supporting amino acid metabolism, nervous system health, and
neurotransmitter (i.e. GABA and serotonin) synthesis, which studies have
reported may help promote menstrual comfort. Furthermore, pyridoxine
supports healthy red blood cells by participating in hemoglobin synthesis
and some studies indicate it supports wrist nerve comfort.* Vitamin B1 (thiamine HCl), processing
carbohydrates, fat, and protein via its coenzyme form of thiamine
pyrophosphate (TPP). Vitamin B1 is required to form adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), the key source of energy for the body. Thiamine also promotes neural
health.* Vitamin B2 (riboflavin and riboflavin 5’
phosphate), metabolizing nutrients and participating in electron transport
to form ATP. Riboflavin is an integral part of fatty acid catabolism or
â-oxidation and helps convert folic acid and vitamins B6 to their active
states.* Vitamin B3 (niacinamide and inositol
hexaniacinate), supporting cardiovascular health by mediating healthy lipid
and carbohydrate metabolism.* Vitamin B5 (calcium pantothenate), supporting
cardiovascular health. Pantothenic acid is vital in the healthy production,
transportation, and breakdown of lipids. Furthermore, this B vitamin
promotes the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.* Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), supporting
healthy nerve cell activity and DNA replication. Vitamin B12 is a vital
component of the methionine synthase pathway, which along with folic acid
and vitamin B6 supports healthy homocysteine metabolism and S-adenosylmethionine
(SAMe) production.* Folic acid, promoting the production of
healthy DNA and chromosomes. In particular, this B vitamin is critical for
the proper neural and cellular development of the fetal central nervous
system, helping to prevent neural tube defects. In conjunction with vitamins
B12 and B6, folic acid helps to support healthy homocysteine metabolism.
Additionally, this B vitamin is important for the growth and reproduction of
red and white blood cells.* Biotin, acting as a coenzyme for the
metabolism of fat, carbohydrates and protein.* These B vitamins play important roles in nearly
all of the physiological systems in the body. Some of the key supportive roles
include the maintenance of muscle tone in the GI tract, the functioning of the
nervous system, and the integrity of skin, hair, and the liver. Furthermore,
these compounds are essential for healthy fetal neural development, hemoglobin
formation, nerve impulse transmissions, mood, hormone synthesis, and energy
metabolism.* Pure Encapsulations B-Complex Plus™ formula
