Ancient Nutrition Vitamin B Complex Supplement, 8 Balanced B-Vitamins, Enzyme Activated with Botanicals, Paleo & Keto Friendly, 60 Capsules

Key Ingredients & Their Active Forms

This supplement combines enzyme-activated B vitamins with whole food concentrates and traditional botanical extracts for enhanced bioavailability. The term 'enzyme-activated' refers to coenzyme forms that are ready for the body to uses without requiring further conversion steps. Each serving provides balanced levels of thiamine (B1 as thiamine HCl), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3 as niacinamide), pantothenic acid (B5 as d-calcium pantothenate), pyridoxine (B6 as pyridoxine HCl), biotin (B7), folate (B9 as folic acid) and cobalamin (B12 as cyanocobalamin).

The formula also includes a proprietary blend of Dong Quai extract, bovine liver, wild hake roe, bone broth and schisandra extract. These whole food ingredients provide naturally occurring cofactors that may support absorption, while the botanical extracts are traditionally used in herbal wellness practices.

How to Choose the Right B-Complex

When selecting a B-complex supplement, consider your dietary needs and lifestyle. Ancient Nutrition's formula is:

• Enzyme-Activated: B vitamins in forms potentially more readily utilised by the body.
• Paleo & Keto Friendly: No grains, dairy or artificial additives.
• Free from Binders & Fillers: Contains no artificial colours, sweeteners or preservatives.
• Third-Party Tested for Quality: Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility.

For individuals with MTHFR gene variations, note that this formula uses folic acid rather than methylfolate. If you require methylated forms, consult your health care professional. The inclusion of whole food sources like bovine liver and roe provides naturally occurring cofactors that may enhance absorption.

How to Take This B-Complex

Take two capsules once daily with 200 ml of water. Can be taken with or without food, at any time of day. Because B vitamins are water-soluble, taking them earlier in the day may support natural energy cycles. If you are new to B-complex supplements, start with one capsule per day and gradually increase to two to minimise any potential adaptation effects.

This product is intended for adults. As with any supplement, consult your health care professional before uses, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.

Benefits of This Balanced B Complex

Each B vitamin contributes to normal physiological functions. Together, they play roles in converting food into cellular energy, supporting red blood cell formation and maintaining a healthy nervous system. The botanical extracts in this formula are traditionally used to support overall wellbeing.

• Energy Metabolism: B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Many users report feeling more energised throughout the day.
• Cognitive Function: Adequate levels of B vitamins are associated with normal cognitive function. Folate and B12 contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism, which is important for brain health.
• Stress Response: Pantothenic acid (B5) and other B vitamins contribute to normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. The botanical extracts in this formula are traditionally used to help the body adapt to everyday stress.
• Heart Health: By helping maintain normal homocysteine levels, B vitamins contribute to normal cardiovascular function.

B vitamins are water-soluble and must be replenished daily. This formula makes it convenient to maintain optimal levels, especially for those following paleo, keto or other low-carb diets where certain B vitamins may be harder to obtain from food alone.

Side Effects and Interactions

B-complex supplements are generally well tolerated. The most common side effect is bright yellow urine, which is harmless and results from riboflavin excretion. Some individuals may experience mild digestive upset or nausea, particularly when taken on an empty stomach.

High doses of certain B vitamins can interact with medications. For example, high doses of B6 (over 100 mg per day) may affect nerve function with long-term uses, and B3 can lower blood pressure when taken in large amounts. This formula provides moderate, balanced doses. If you are taking any prescription drugs, especially for Parkinson's disease, epilepsy or chemotherapy, discuss supplementation with your doctor.
