Embarking on a journey to enhance your health can be an exciting experience. 

Yet, it can also be a little overwhelming. B-Complex supplements present a common problem for new shoppers: “which one should I choose?”

Whether you're a health enthusiast, a beginner in the world of supplements, or addressing specific B vitamin deficiencies, we want to help you answer this question. 

We’ll explore 5 key factors you should consider before buying B-Complex supplements. You’ll learn the importance of each vitamin and even about evaluating production standards so you can make the best choice.

So, let's dive into the world of B complex vitamins and discover how they can revolutionise your health regime.

1 - Assess the Blend's Health Impact

A good B Complex supplement will come with various health benefits that contribute to different aspects of your well-being. 

At the very least, the B complex you pick should contain: 

• B1 (Thiamine) —  an important vitamin for energy metabolism. It helps in converting nutrients from your diet into energy, which is essential for your day-to-day activities [1]. 
• B2 (Riboflavin) — plays a pivotal role in cellular function and metabolism [2]. 
• B3 (Niacin) — important for DNA repair and skin health, supporting cellular growth and function [3].
• B5 (Pantothenic Acid) — Essential for hormone synthesis and energy production, aiding in overall metabolic processes [4].
• B6 (Pyridoxine) — Primarily involved in neurotransmitter synthesis — crucial for mood and brain health [5].
• B7 (Biotin) — Contributes to healthy hair, skin, and nails, and is integral for metabolic functions [6].
• B9 (Folate) — Essential for DNA synthesis and repair, particularly important during pregnancy or foetal development [7].
• B12 (Cobalamin) — Supports red blood cell formation and neurological function, playing a key role in maintaining energy and cognitive health [8].

Fun fact: by examining the product label (or product page) of the supplement you’re planning to buy, you can easily learn whether the above vitamins are included.

If you’re short on time, our B-Complex has been carefully formulated to ensure that you get a blend of all these vitamins. 

It’ll help boost your energy levels, enhance your mood, improve your cognitive function, support your metabolic processes, and more.

2 - Check the Dosage (And if the Supplement Can Be Effectively Absorbed) 

Even if a vitamin contains all of the above components, you won’t enjoy the benefits if you don’t know the correct dosages. So, compare the dosages provided in your B-Complex to the recommended daily allowances (RDAs). 

Also make sure the supplements are in a form that your body can easily utilise (capsules are the best).

Here's a quick glance at the dosages per serving of our B-Complex:

Vitamin	Dosage Per Serving
B1 Thiamine	40mg
B2 Riboflavin	25mg
B3 Niacin	80mg
B5 Pantothenic Acid	45mg
B6	100mg
B7 Biotin	400µg
B9 Folate	667µg
B12	100µg
Inositol	100mg
Choline	40mg
B10 PABA	25 mg

These dosages are formulated to meet or exceed the RDAs for most individuals. For example, B12 at 100µg per serving is substantially higher than the RDA — which is beneficial for those wanting to boost energy levels and cognitive function. 

Similarly, Folate at 667µg supports DNA synthesis and repair. It’s important for women of childbearing age (though if you are pregnant, you should check with your medical practitioner before taking our supplements).

3 - Understand Energy Conversion and Fatigue Reduction Capabilities

Choosing a B-Complex supplement requires understanding its role in energy conversion and fatigue reduction. 

Essential B vitamins like B1, B6, and B12 are key for turning food into energy. Without sufficient levels of these vitamins, you’ll likely experience fatigue that impacts your daily performance [9].

Simply put, look for a B-Complex that contains B1, B6, and B12 in amounts that align with or surpass your body's daily requirements.

Our B-Complex is formulated to support these needs — offering a balanced mix of B vitamins at doses aimed to boost your energy levels and stop you from getting fatigued. 

4 - Recognize the Benefits of Inositol and Choline

Believe it or not, when choosing your B-Complex, it's not just the B vitamins that matter. Compounds like Inositol and Choline are important additions in the supplement. 

While they're not B vitamins, they offer substantial health benefits that are too good to overlook. 

Inositol is like a messenger in your brain, facilitating communication between your brain cells  [10]. It has a calming effect and can contribute to your mental well-being, potentially aiding in the management of conditions like anxiety and depression [11]. 

Then there's Choline, which is essential for healthy liver function. It helps to process and remove waste substances from your body [12]. Plus, it's a building block for acetylcholine — a neurotransmitter involved in memory and muscle control [13].

Including these two nutrients in a B-Complex supplement allows it to address a wider range of your bodily functions. It goes without saying that our B-Complex includes both Inositol and Choline.

By ensuring your B-Complex has these components, you're providing your body with nutrients that assist in maintaining a healthy mind and a well-functioning liver.  It's a choice that makes a significant difference in your daily cognitive function and detoxification processes.

5 - Verify Clean Formula and Production Standards 

It’s essential to understand what goes into your supplements. A clean formula means the product is free of unnecessary fillers, artificial colours, and bulking agents.

Our B-Complex is designed with a clean formula. We focus on delivering the nutrients you need without any substances. 

Quality manufacturing is just as crucial as the formula itself. That’s where GMP Certification comes in. This certification ensures every batch of our B-Complex is consistent in quality and purity.

Additionally, being produced in the UK means our supplements are subject to some of the strictest regulations in the world.

Fact: when you're choosing a B-Complex, checking for a clean formula and reliable manufacturing practices is vital. 

These factors are key to finding a supplement that’s safe and beneficial to your body. Our B-Complex meets these stringent standards, giving you peace of mind with every capsule.
