Key Ingredients & Forms
Each Bronson Super B 100 tablet delivers a full spectrum of all eight B vitamins, including thiamine (B1) as thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3) as niacinamide, vitamin B6 as pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid (B9), vitamin B12 as cyanocobalamin, biotin (B7), and pantothenic acid (B5) as d-calcium pantothenate.
The formulation relies on well-established forms of these vitamins. Although some products now contain methylated forms (such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin), the forms in Bronson Super B 100 are standard and effective for most people. Cyanocobalamin is a stable and cost-effective source of B12 that the body converts into active forms. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, widely used in supplements and fortified foods.
Sustained release is achieved via a specially designed tablet matrix that dissolves gradually, offering a prolonged release of vitamins over several hours. This helps maintain steady blood levels and may enhance absorption compared to immediate-release formulations.
How to Choose the Right B-Complex
When choosing a B-Complex supplement, consider the dosage, form, and any extra attributes. Bronson Super B 100 provides 100 mg or mcg of most B vitamins (hence the name 'B 100'), which is well above the daily reference intake for many, making it suitable for those with higher requirements. The sustained-release feature is ideal for people who want steady support throughout the day without having to take multiple doses.
This product is Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, and Soya-Free, and tested at Bronson’s state-of-the-art GMP Registered facility in New York. If you have specific sensitivities or dietary restrictions, these certifications provide reassurance. Bronson has been a trusted name since 1960, formulated by pharmacists, and frequently recommended by health care professionals.
If you have MTHFR gene variants and require methylated vitamins, you may wish to consult a health care professional before selecting this product, as it use folic acid and cyanocobalamin rather than methylated forms.
Benefits of B-Complex
B vitamins are fundamental to energy metabolism. They help convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy, making them essential for fighting fatigue and supporting daily vitality. Vitamin B6, B12, and folate are particularly involved in the production of neurotransmitters, which influence mood and cognitive function.
Additionally, B vitamins support healthy nerve function. Vitamin B12 contributes to the maintenance of the myelin sheath, which insulates nerves, while B6 helps in the synthesis of signalling molecules. Adequate intake of B vitamins also supports red blood cell formation, helping to maintain oxygen transport throughout the body.
Bronson Super B 100 delivers these vitamins in a sustained-release format, ensuring that your body receives a consistent supply rather than a rapid spike that may be excreted. This can be especially beneficial for maintaining steady energy levels and supporting overall wellbeing.
What Is B-Complex?
The term 'B-Complex' describes a group of eight essential B vitamins that work together to support numerous bodily functions. These water-soluble vitamins—B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B7 (biotin), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin)—play critical roles in converting food into energy, maintaining a healthy nervous system, and supporting red blood cell formation. Because the body does not store B vitamins in large amounts, regular intake via diet or supplementation is necessary to maintain optimal levels.
Bronson Super B 100 provides all eight B vitamins in a convenient sustained-release tablet, designed to deliver a steady supply throughout the day. This formulation helps replenish B vitamin levels, particularly for individuals with increased needs due to stress, ageing, or certain dietary patterns.
How to Take B-Complex
Take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal to enhance absorption and minimise potential stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole—do not crush or chew, as the sustained-release formulation depends on the intact tablet to control release timing. Consistency is key; taking it at the same time each day can help maintain steady B vitamin levels.
B vitamins are water-soluble, so any excess is typically excreted in urine, which may cause a harmless bright yellow discolouration. Staying hydrated can help your body process these vitamins efficiently. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless directed by a health care professional.
Side Effects and Interactions
B-Complex supplements are generally well tolerated. Some individuals may experience mild side effects such as nausea, stomach upset, or a temporary flushed sensation from niacin (whilst Bronson use niacinamide, which is less likely to cause flushing). The most common side effect is bright yellow urine due to riboflavin—this is normal and harmless.
High doses of certain B vitamins may interact with medications. For example, vitamin B6 can interfere with levodopa (a Parkinson’s drug) when taken alone, and folic acid may mask vitamin B12 deficiency in certain conditions. Always consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medications, or have a medical condition.

FAQ
What does 'sustained release' mean?
It means the tablet is designed to gradually release its ingredients over several hours, providing a steady supply of B vitamins rather than a quick spike. This can help maintain consistent energy levels.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, Bronson Super B 100 is suitable for vegetarians. The tablets are made without animal-derived ingredients. For specific dietary concerns, check the label.
Can I take this supplement on an empty stomach?
While it can be taken on an empty stomach, taking it with food may reduce the risk of mild stomach upset and help absorption. Water-soluble vitamins are generally well absorbed with or without food.
Why is my urine bright yellow after taking this supplement?
That is due to riboflavin (B2), which is water-soluble and excreted in urine. This is completely normal and indicates your body is absorbing the vitamins.
