Vitakruid B-Complex Active with L-Taurine 90

Vitakruid B-Complex Active with L-Taurine
Quatrefolic®, the fourth generation of folate
Quatrefolic®, also known as the fourth generation folate, has superior bioavailability compared to synthetic forms of folic acid. Stability is guaranteed by the binding with glucosamine salt instead of the binding to calcium salt (the third generation of folate). Moreover, regular forms of folic acid must first be converted into 5-MTHF before they are functional for the body. Quatrefolic® is the already converted form of 5-MTHF, meaning the body does not need any further co-nutrients to experience the effects of folic acid. The number one folate form worldwide!

Methyl donors
Methylation is essentially a transfer of a methyl group to proteins, amino acids, enzymes, and DNA. This biochemical process occurs in every cell of our body and is essential for energy formation. Various B-vitamins play an important role in methylation. Additionally, so-called methyl donors have an important function within this energy-forming process. The nutrients choline and L-taurine added to this formula fall under the category of methyl donors, thus providing supportive roles for the functioning of the other B-vitamins.

High doses of B-vitamins
B1 (Thiamine HCl)
Vitamin B1 in the well-absorbed form thiamine cannot be produced by our body, and therefore we obtain this water-soluble vitamin exclusively through food or supplementation. Thiamine in the hydrochloride (HCl) form means that the nutrient is pure.

B2 (Riboflavin-5-phosphate)
The biologically active form of riboflavin is called riboflavin-5-phosphate. This form is immediately available to the body and does not need to undergo any further biochemical processes.

B3 (Niacinamide)
Niacinamide is the flush-free variant of vitamin B3, the form without side effects and immediately available to the body.

B5 (Calcium pantothenate)
The well-absorbed pantothenate is an essential B-vitamin in its most natural form.

Vitamin B6 (P-5-P) the safest form
Two forms are used in supplements, pyridoxine HCL and the biologically active form pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P). So far, no side effects from the use of pyridoxal-5-phosphate have been reported. Research from Maastricht University even shows that neuropathy from high doses of B6 can be fully attributed to pyridoxine HCl. The B-Complex Active is therefore an extremely safe choice!

B11 (Quatrefolic: 5-MTHF glucosamine salt)
The biologically available variant of folic acid (see the Quatrefolic box for more information).

B12 (Methylcobalamin/Adenosylcobalamin)
The B-complex Active contains two biologically available forms of vitamin B12. B12 in the form of methylcobalamin has the supportive property of making stacked folate available to the body. The combination of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin is in a 50:50 ratio.

Choline, Inositol & PABA
Previously considered B vitamins. This turned out to be an incorrect assumption; nevertheless, the nutrients are methyl donors, which means they play a supportive role in our energy production (see the Methylation box for more information).

- Vitamin B1 is good for: heart, nervous system, mood, learning performance, concentration, memory, and energy metabolism.
- Vitamin B2 is important for: the nervous system, mucous membranes, iron metabolism, skin, vision, and energy-yielding metabolism.
- Vitamin B3 is good for: skin, mood, learning performance, concentration, memory, mucous membranes, the nervous system, and energy metabolism.
- Vitamin B5 contributes to: the reduction of fatigue, normal resistance to stress, mental effort/pressure, and energy-yielding metabolism.
- Vitamin B6 is good for: cysteine production, homocysteine metabolism, protein metabolism/glycogen metabolism, mood, learning performance, concentration, memory, and the nervous system.
Vitamin B8 contributes to: normal hair growth, healthy skin, and normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
- Folate contributes to: extra energy during fatigue, brain and nerve functions involved in learning ability, normal functioning of the immune system, the production of cells and tissues, the formation of red and white blood cells, and normal amino acid synthesis.
- Vitamin B12 is good for: the cell division process, fatigue, energy metabolism, the formation of red blood cells, and the nervous system.
