General Description

Vitamin B Complex extra is a vegan dietary supplement that combines eight B vitamins in various nutritionally common forms. The formula includes thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, biotin, folate (as 5-MTHF), and vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin).

According to the EU Health Claims Regulation, B vitamins contribute to, among other things,

• normal energy metabolism,
• normal functioning of the nervous system,
• normal psychological function,
• the reduction of tiredness and fatigue,
• normal red blood cell formation (B2, B6, B12, folate),
• normal homocysteine metabolism (B6, B12, folate).

Biochemical Basis

B vitamins are involved in numerous metabolic processes and primarily act as coenzymes in enzymatic reactions. They play a role in energy production from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, in amino acid metabolism, cell division, and the function of the nervous and immune systems. Some vitamins are present in forms that are also naturally used in human metabolism, including riboflavin-5'-phosphate (R-5-P), pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P-5-P), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), and methylcobalamin.

Requirement and Intake

The need for B vitamins can vary depending on diet, energy expenditure, individual lifestyle, and physiological factors. Since many B vitamins can only be stored to a limited extent, a regular intake through diet is necessary.

Vitamin B Complex extra provides a defined amount of all eight B vitamins per daily dose.

Occurrence in Foods

B vitamins are found in whole grains, legumes, nuts, dairy products, eggs, meat, fish, and certain vegetables. In the case of a vegan or very unbalanced diet, vitamin B12 intake, in particular, may be reduced.

Special Considerations for Intake

B vitamins are mainly absorbed in the small intestine. The vitamin forms contained are stable and nutritionally relevant. Taking them according to the label - about half an hour before a meal - can be part of a conscious nutrient intake.

For biotin, it should be noted that it can affect laboratory tests. Individuals undergoing a laboratory test should inform medical professionals that they are taking or have recently taken biotin. Pregnant women are advised against consumption according to the label.
