B-Complex

Vitamins

Also known as: B Vitamins, B1/B2/B3/B5/B6/B7/B9/B12

B-Complex vitamins are a group of eight water-soluble vitamins essential for energy metabolism, nervous system function, and red blood cell production. They work synergistically and are often depleted by stress, alcohol, and processed diets.

Best Timing

Take in the morning with food. Can be energizing — avoid evening dosing. Food reduces nausea.

Absorption

Water-soluble — excess is excreted. Methylated forms bypass genetic conversion issues (MTHFR). Take with food for best tolerance.
