Vitamin B Complex capsules may cause urine to turn bright yellow. This is harmless and indicates the body is eliminating any excess vitamin B2 (riboflavin). An increase in daily liquid intake should bring the urine back to the normal or near-normal colour.
Vitamin B Complex is hypoallergenic / does not contain any of the 14 major allergens listed in Annex II (1169/2011) of the EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation.
Why Choose Vitamin B Complex?
B vitamins are involved in literally thousands of enzymatic reactions in the body. The B vitamins are water soluble, so we need to replenish them every day. They are like a family of vitamins, working very closely together, so they should be taken together.
These high strength, therapeutic doses of B vitamins are safe and are backed up by many scientific studies, including recent studies on memory and the elderly.

This high strength formula is suitable for those wishing to support a healthy heart, nervous system and energy levels. Vitamin B Complex is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, who may not be getting enough of particular B vitamins such as B12, which is found in dairy and meat.
Our Vitamin B Complex is a high potency formula providing higher levels of the 8 essential B vitamins than many other B complex formulations. The B vitamins work together to support a wide range of functions in the body and so are often best taken as a combination. The amounts included are high enough to be therapeutic but are still safe to consume.
We provide active forms of folate, vitamin B12, B6 and B2 (riboflavin) which means that they are ready to be used as soon as they are consumed and don't need to be converted by the body, which some people may struggle to do.
B vitamins are cofactors in thousands of enzymatic reactions in the body, and their functions range from supporting heart health, mental performance, psychological function and the nervous system; as well as the production of energy from the food we eat and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
B vitamins such as B2 and B3 also support healthy skin. Vitamin Complex capsules also support the immune system and the formation of red blood cells. They are critical for a huge range of processes within the body, and as water-soluble vitamins, they cannot be stored in the body and so must be consumed each day.
Choline and inositol are substances with vitamin-like properties, so are often grouped together with the B vitamins. Both inositol and choline are building blocks of lecithin, which is important for cell membranes and nervous system function. Choline also supports normal homocysteine levels, fat metabolism and liver function. PABA is known as a building block of folic acid, and so is often grouped together with the B vitamins.
Water-soluble vitamins, unlike fat-soluble vitamins, cannot be stored in the body. They must be consumed each day and any excess is excreted. All B vitamins are water-soluble and good food sources include meat, dairy, and eggs, as well as wholegrains, nuts and seeds.
How long it takes for you to feel an effect will depend on your nutrient status - the lower you are in certain nutrients the faster you're likely to see an effect. For some the results can be instantaneous but for others it can take a few weeks before they notice an effect. However taking it consistently is key to ensuring a constant and adequate supply of vitamins to the body. This is especially important for water-soluble vitamins like B vitamins.
The high percentages of Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) for B vitamins in our Vitamin B Complex are designed to meet the demands of modern lifestyles. NRVs are the minimum levels needed to prevent deficiency diseases, but these levels are often too low to support optimal health in today’s world. Higher levels help to address issues related to stress, environmental toxins, and nutrient-depleted diets.
For example, the vitamin B6 in our supplements is water-soluble, so excess amounts are excreted and do not build up to toxic levels. These higher amounts are safe and beneficial for most people.
