B-VITAMINS PLAY ESSENTIAL ROLES IN MANY FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY
Optimal folate and B vitamin intakes are associated with healthy neurological function as well as cardiovascular support.*1,2 Each B-vitamin exists in multiple forms, often referred to as vitamers. Active forms of vitamers are those that can be directly utilized by the body immediately. Active B-Complex features a potent blend containing the active forms of Vitamins B2, B6, B12, as well as Quatrefolic®-branded methylfolate (the bioactive form of folate). Free from top 8 allergens.
HOW IT WORKS
B-vitamins play essential roles in many functions of the body. Vitamin B1 (as Thiamin) and Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin as riboflavin-5'-phosphate) serve as coenzymes essential for cell function, growth and energy production.*1 Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate and pyridoxine HCl) has an essential role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).*3 Folate has essential roles in nervous system and immune system function.*1,4 Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) is essential for nervous system function, playing particular roles in myelin synthesis and nerve metabolism.*5
