About This Product
Natural Factors Hi Potency B Complex 50 mg puts 50 mg of each of the main B vitamins into a single capsule, with 60 capsules to a bottle. A factor in the maintenance of good health. One capsule is the whole daily amount, so a bottle lasts two months.
What Hi Potency B Complex is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80054351. The licence also lists:
- Helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
- Helps normal growth and development.
- Helps to form red blood cells.
- Helps in tissue formation.
- Helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy.
What is in each capsule
The "50" in the name refers to the six B vitamins that each come in at 50 mg: thiamine (B1) as thiamine hydrochloride, riboflavin (B2), niacinamide (a form of B3), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), calcium d-pantothenate (B5) and para-aminobenzoic acid, often shortened to PABA.
The remaining B vitamins are measured in smaller units. Folate is present as 1 mg of folic acid, biotin as 60 mcg and vitamin B12 as 50 mcg of cyanocobalamin. Natural Factors also adds 50 mg each of choline bitartrate and inositol, two compounds that are usually grouped with the B family.
The capsule shell is gelatin, and the other non-medicinal ingredients are cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica and water. Natural Factors lists the formula as non-GMO.
How to take it
Adults take 1 capsule a day. Taking it with breakfast is a simple routine to keep. B vitamins such as riboflavin can turn urine a bright yellow for a few hours, which is a normal effect of the vitamin.
Ask a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you take sulfonamides. Keep out of reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
Sizes and value
This 60-capsule bottle is the smallest of three Natural Factors packs. The same capsule also comes in 90 and 180 counts for anyone who would rather restock less often.
Who it suits
Adults who want every B vitamin in one daily capsule, at a 50 mg level for the main six, and people planning a pregnancy who want 1 mg of folic acid in their routine.
