Pure Encapsulations B-Complex Plus™ formula contains:Vitamin B1(thiamine HCl): syntheticVitamin B2 (riboflavin): corn dextrose fermentationNiacinamide and Inositol hexaniacinate: syntheticVitamin B5(calcium pantothenate): syntheticVitamin B6 (pyridoxal HCl): syntheticVitamin 12 (methylcobalamin): corn dextrose fermentationFolic acid: syntheticBiotin: syntheticVitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate) is derived from corn dextrosefermentation and palm oil.
Health Functions:These B vitamins play important roles in nearly all of thephysiological systems in the body. Some of the keysupportive roles include the maintenance of muscle tonein the GI tract, the functioning of the nervous system, andthe integrity of skin, hair, and the liver. Furthermore, thesecompounds are essential for healthy fetal neuraldevelopment, hemoglobin formation, nerve impulsetransmissions, mood, hormone synthesis, and energymetabolism.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl and pyridoxal 5' phosphate),supporting amino acid metabolism, nervous systemhealth, and neurotransmitter (i.e. GABA and serotonin)synthesis, which studies have reported may helppromote menstrual comfort. Furthermore, pyridoxinesupports healthy red blood cells by participating inhemoglobin synthesis and some studies indicate itsupports wrist nerve comfort.
Vitamin B1 (thiamine HCl), processing carbohydrates,fat, and protein via its coenzyme form of thiaminepyrophosphate (TPP). Vitamin B1 is required to formadenosine triphosphate (ATP), the key source of energyfor the body. Thiamine also promotes neural health.
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin and riboflavin 5' phosphate),metabolizing nutrients and participating in electrontransport to form ATP. Riboflavin is an integral part offatty acid catabolism or ß-oxidation and helps convertfolic acid and vitamins B6 to their active states.
Vitamin B3 (niacinamide and inositol hexaniacinate),supporting cardiovascular health by mediating healthylipid and carbohydrate metabolism.
Vitamin B5(calcium pantothenate), supportingcardiovascular health. Pantothenic acid is vital in thehealthy production, transportation, and breakdown oflipids. Furthermore, this B vitamin promotes theproduction of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), supporting healthynerve cell activity and DNA replication. Vitamin B12 isa vital component of the methionine synthasepathway, which along with folic acid and vitamin B6supports healthy homocysteine metabolism andS-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) production.
Folic acid, promoting the production of healthy DNAand chromosomes. In particular, this B vitamin is criticalfor the proper neural and cellular development of thefetal central nervous system, helping to prevent neuraltube defects. In conjunction with vitamins B12 and B6,folic acid helps to support healthy homocysteinemetabolism. Additionally, this B vitamin is important forthe growth and reproduction of red and white bloodcells.
Biotin, acting as a coenzyme for the metabolism of fat,carbohydrates and protein.
