Active B Complex - Brain Function Support

I’ve been using a B-complex supplement with a very similar formula, so I was curious to compare the two. This product contains a similar range of B vitamins, along with folic acid, choline and inositol.The main difference I noticed is the higher amount of vitamin B6 in this formula. I’m not sure why the manufacturer chose to use a higher dose, but it’s something I noticed when comparing the label with the B-complex I currently use.The other thing worth mentioning is the price. I find this product relatively expensive compared with similar B-complex supplements, especially considering that the overall formula is quite similar to what I’m already taking.Overall, the ingredient profile is fairly comprehensive and the formulation is very similar to my current B-complex. For me, the higher B6 content and relatively high price are the two main things I would consider when comparing this product with other B-complex supplements.

This Allbe formula caught my attention because it provides 50 mg of several of the B vitamins in a single capsule.Each capsule contains 50 mg of thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6, along with 500 mcg of folate, 250 mcg of vitamin B12, 12.5 mg of choline and 12.5 mg of inositol. The B12 is provided as methylcobalamin, which is the form I prefer.But at $51.99 CAD for 90 capsules, this is an expensive B-complex. The label on the bottle recommends two capsules per day for adults, so the bottle only gives you about a 45 day supply at the recommended dosage. That works out to approximately $1.16 per day.I've compared this with other high-potency B-complex products, and there are less expensive alternatives that provide similar amounts of the B vitamins. Therefore I have a hard time seeing what justifies such a high price here.I also noticed that the actual bottle doesn't provide the same level of detail about the forms of the vitamins that is shown on the page listing. The listing specifies the forms, such as niacinamide, pyridoxine and methylcobalamin, whereas the bottle simply identifies them as Vitamin B6, B12 and so on.**One thing worth noting is that the niacin in this formula is listed as niacin rather than niacinamide. At the recommended two capsules a day, you'd be getting 100 mg of niacin. People who are new to nicotinic acid should be aware that doses at this level may produce a temporary niacin flush.For a premium priced supplement, it would have been nice to see the more detailed information printed directly on the label.On the positive side, this is a high potency formula with a simple ingredient list. The product is made in Canada and carries an active NPN.

I was looking for Vitamin B complex with niacinamide (usually, it is inositol only). So I decided to try these “Active B Complex Capsules”. For this purpose, I used similar products, had a positive experience with them, and knew what to expect, so I was very happy to try these capsules as well.1. QualityAccording to the label, this product contains:- Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 50 mg- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 50 mg- Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) 50 mg- Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) 50 mg- Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 50 mg- Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) 250 mcg- Folic Acid (Folate) – 500 mcg- Choline 12.5 mg- Inositol 12.5 mgThe label has clearly displayed the NPN (Natural Product Number) 80114211, expiration date (03/2029), and lot number (M61017). The label also clearly displays that the product is manufactured in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). Unfortunately, the label doesn't specify the testing methods used during development or manufacturing, so I could not independently verify the stated ingredient quantities.There are no warnings for use or recommended duration of use on the label.2. UsageThe bottle for this supplement is white and non-transparent. When I opened the bottle, there was a distinct chemical scent common for this type of supplement. The capsules are medium-sized, bright yellow, easy to swallow, and have a smooth coating. I took 1 capsule twice a day, before meals, for a week.I have to note that I experienced a niacinamide “flushing” reaction. For the first time, it appeared about 15 min after intake, and subsided in about an hour. The skin on my hands was blotchy red, and the face had a solid red colour. With time, the reaction became less intense and by the end of the week, it almost completely vanished.Overall, I'm glad I decided to try this supplement. I just recommend always consulting a healthcare practitioner before starting a supplement.

This B-complex supplement contains a range of B vitamins, along with choline and inositol. The capsules are easy to swallow, and the recommended serving is two capsules per day for adults 19 and older.The formula includes vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12, as well as folic acid. It is free from artificial colors, sweeteners, and preservatives, and contains no dairy, wheat, gluten, or yeast. The capsules are also vegan.One important thing to note is that this formula contains nicotinic acid (vitamin B3). I took one capsule a day for two days and experienced nothing unusual on the first day, but on the second day my skin became very red and itchy. The bottle mentions that people sensitive to nicotinic acid may experience flushing that is generally mild and temporary, but my reaction was uncomfortable enough that I stopped taking the supplement and did not continue using it.The formula has a good variety of B vitamins and the capsules are easy to swallow, but because of the skin reaction I experienced, I stopped taking it and would not continue using it.
