Basic B Complex contains active forms of B vitamins for enhanced availability to the tissues.* B vitamins are essential for healthy nerve cell function, neurotransmitter formation, red blood cell formation, healthy adrenal function, energy production, healthy methylation, cardiovascular health, and more.* Why take a B Complex nutritional supplement? B vitamins are water-soluble and most do not remain stored in the body, so they must be acquired daily from the diet or from supplementation in order to help maintain optimal health.* Why include active, tissue-ready forms of some of the B vitamins? Some B vitamins require conversion in the liver to their active forms, ready to be used by the body. Among the factors that can inhibit the body’s ability to convert non-active vitamins to their active forms in the liver are compromised liver function, poorly functioning enzymes, digestive disturbances, and age. Thorne’s Basic B Complex contains the entire B complex, including the activated forms of vitamin B2 (riboflavin 5’-phosphate), vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate), folic acid (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate), and vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin).
