Vitakruid B-Complex Active with L-TaurineQuatrefolic®, the fourth generation of folate
Quatrefolic®, also known as fourth-generation folate, has superior bioavailability compared to synthetic forms of folic acid. Stability is guaranteed by binding with glucosamine salt instead of calcium salt (the third generation of folate). Moreover, regular folic acid forms must first be converted into 5-MTHF before they are functional for the body. Quatrefolic® is the already converted form of 5-MTHF, so the body does not need further auxiliary nutrients to experience the effect of folic acid. The number one folate form worldwide!
Methyl Donors
Methylation is essentially the 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. In addition, so-called methyl donors play an important role in this energy-forming process. The nutrients choline and l-taurine added to this formula fall under the category of methyl donor, thus providing a supporting role for the function of the other B vitamins.
High doses of B vitamins
B1 (Thiamine HCl)
Vitamin B1 in the easily absorbable form of 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 require further biochemical processes.
B3 (Niacinamide)
Niacinamide is the flush-free variant of vitamin B3, the form without side effects and directly available to the body.
B5 (Calcium pantothenate)
The easily absorbable 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 have been reported from the use of pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Research from Maastricht University even shows that neuropathy due to high doses of B6 is entirely attributable to pyridoxine HCl. The B-Complex Active is therefore an extremely safe choice!
B11 (Quatrefolic: 5-MTHF glucosamine salt)
The bioavailable variant of folic acid (for more information, see the Quatrefolic box).
B12 (Methylcobalamin/Adenosylcobalamin)
The B-complex Active contains two bioavailable 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 in a 50:50 ratio.
Choline, Inositol & PABA
Were formerly considered B vitamins. This proved to be an incorrect assumption; nevertheless, these nutrients are methyl donors, meaning they play a supportive role in our energy production (for more information, see the Methylation box).
