21st Century B-100 Complex Time Release, 60 Capsules

Key Ingredients and Their Forms

Each serving of 21st Century B-100 Complex Time Release provides a comprehensive range of B vitamins at 100 mg or 100 mcg levels (with the exception of biotin and folate). The formula includes thiamine mononitrate (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacinamide (B3), d-calcium pantothenate (B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), and cyanocobalamin (B12). These well-absorbed forms are suitable for general supplementation. For those with MTHFR gene variations, methylated forms (methylfolate, methylcobalamin) may be more beneficial, but the conventional forms in this product remain effective for most individuals.

Thiamine (B1) helps maintain normal heart function, riboflavin (B2) aids in the protection of cells from oxidative stress, niacin (B3) contributes to normal skin and mucous membrane health, pantothenic acid (B5) is involved in normal hormone synthesis, vitamin B6 supports normal brain development and immune function, biotin (B7) contributes to normal hair and nail strength, folate (B9) is important for normal tissue growth during pregnancy, and vitamin B12 has a role in normal neurological function. The time-release delivery helps maintain steady levels of these nutrients in the body.
