Vitamin B Complex Active, 100 capsules

Active is more effective!

Most of the substances we consume as vitamins first have to be biochemically converted by the body before they can become truly effective.

This can lead to problems:

• The body may not be able to convert a substance at all due to congenital deficiencies, as can be the case with folic acid, for example.
• The conversion process takes time and energy, so the vitamin cannot take effect as quickly as it would if it had been ingested directly in the correct form.
• Losses may occur during the conversion process, meaning that the actual amount of the vitamin in the blood is lower than what was stated in the nutritional table.

It therefore makes more sense to take the vitamins directly in the form that the body actually needs. Such vitamin products usually have the suffix ‘active’ in their name, meaning they are ‘already activated’; so nothing, or only a minimal amount, needs to be converted.

For optimal effect, it is recommended to take all B vitamins as a B-complex, as they interact in many ways and are interdependent. If a high intake of a single B vitamin is desired, it is best to combine this with a B-complex.

Vitamin B Complex Active contains a high dose of all B vitamins and related substances. Wherever possible, biologically active (coenzymatic) forms have been selected. This applies to vitamin B2 (sodium riboflavin-5′-phosphate, R-5′-P), B6 (pyridoxal-5′-phosphate, ‘P5P’), B12 (methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, also known as dibenkozide) and folate (5-methyltetrahydrofolate, 5-MTHF). The advantage of this is that they do not need to be converted before they can be used as coenzymes in metabolism. They are therefore forms produced naturally by the body and are often the forms in which B vitamins occur in food.
