The increase of social awareness in the subject of nutrition and supplementation causes that a growing number of people are deciding to supplement their diet with the B vitamins package. More and more often attention is paid to the forms of vitamins contained in such a supplement, because the choice of the cheapest product offered in a pharmacy may not be the optimal solution.
The use of appropriate forms of vitamins allows the best use of them, bypassing bottlenecks in their metabolism, through which the supply of inactive forms could too low raise the level of biologically active in the body. As a result, resources that could be consumed in vitamin conversion processes are also saved.
Below we will look at several high-quality B-vitamin complexes from the top shelf, including active and well-absorbed forms of vitamins that can be used much better than their traditional counterparts.
Jarrow Formulas B-Right
B-Right won the hearts of thousands of people who care about health and high quality of supplements.It can be said that he pioneered the routes to advanced B-complexes.It owes its popularity mainly to the content of active, methylated forms of vitamins B9 and B12.
Pros
- addition of choline with inositol
- as the only one has two forms of vitamin B5
Minuses
- only one form of vitamin B3
- the smallest dose of biotin
- mixtures of active and inactive forms instead of exclusively active ones
- riboflavin alone, without flavin mononucleotide
Doctor’s Best Best Fully Active B-Complex
Another very good preparation, however, differing in doses of vitamins in relation to the predecessor.It is chosen especially by those who are more focused on vitamin B12, because the amount of this vitamin is much higher than those observed in competing products.
Pros
- a much higher amount of vitamin B12 than in other complexes
- combination of riboflavin and flavin mononucleotide
- addition of vitamin C
- the highest dose of thiamine and B6 vitamins
Minuses
- no choline
- the exact proportions of the various forms used in vitamins B2, B3 and B6 are not given
Seeking Health B-Complex Plus
Seeking Health is still not a well-known brand on the Polish market, but it will certainly increase its recognition in the near future. The products of this company are characterized by high quality and selection of ingredients that should meet the expectations of the most demanding users. A great example is the use of a mixture of B12 vitamins, in which, in addition to the methylated form, we also find adenosylcobalamin, which gives a wider spectrum of benefits.In contrast, vitamins B2 and B6 are obtained only in ready-made, active forms, without blends combined with cheaper, inactive forms.
Pros
- given the exact proportions of the forms of a given vitamin, as shown in the examples of vitamins B3, B9 and B12
- a combination of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin instead of methylcobalamin alone
- vitamin B6 only in the active form of P5P, without the addition of pyridoxine HCl
- two forms of folates, but still without the use of synthetic pteroylmonoglutamic acid
- the largest dose of biotin and vitamin B3
- Shilajit supplement
- active form of riboflavin
Minuses
lack
Apollo’s Hegemony B-Balance
This is another great preparation, containing all the B vitamins along with other supplements that supplement the entire vitamin complex.The effect of such a set will be the improvement of insulin metabolism, support of the work of neurotransmitters and definitely better absorption of the product.We find here a slightly different form of vitamins, affecting various health aspects, such as, for example, thiamine mononitrate, which is more stable than the hydrochloride derivative, which has a positive effect on the circulatory system.
Pros
- all B vitamins, in methylated form
- addition of PABA, supporting the nervous system
- addition of choline and inositol
- contains piperine, which improves bioavailability
- high dose of B12
Minuses
- low dose of folate
Best B-vitamin complex - summary
As you can see, until the leading complexes of Jarrow Formulas and Doctor's Best, another strong player signed by Seeking Health joins. B-Complex Plus gives the impression of a more advanced product with a better selection of vitamin forms. Although there are differences in the doses of individual ingredients, B-Right and Best Fully Active B-Complex will surely continue to enjoy a large group of interested people.
An interesting novelty is the B-Minus from Seeking Health, because it doesn't contain vitamin B9 and B12. Thanks to this, we are more free to add choosen Vitamin B9 and B12 supplements
