Vitamins

• Essential for Energy Production*
• Methylcobalamin plus Folate

Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the production of energy from fats and proteins and is well known for its critical role in DNA synthesis, as well as in homocysteine metabolism.* Methylcobalamin is the co-enzyme form of vitamin B-12 that has been found to be especially critical in the maintenance of a healthy nervous system.* Dietary sources are almost exclusively of animal origin (meat and dairy) and supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians. NOW^® Methyl B-12 is vegetarian/vegan (non-animal derived).

• Vitamin B-5

Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B-5) is a member of the B-complex family of vitamins and is found in nearly every living cell as a component of coenzyme A (CoA).* CoA is essential for the generation of energy from fat, carbohydrate, and protein.* It also plays a critical role in many biosynthetic reactions as well, being necessary for the production of fats, cholesterol, neurotransmitters, red blood cells, and adrenal secretions.* As such, pantothenic acid is vital for countless cell functions and the maintenance of healthy cellular metabolism.*

• Supports Amino Acid Metabolism*
• Promotes Normal Immune Function*

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal growth and body function.* Biotin functions as a key regulatory element in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and in the metabolism of some amino acids.* Alongside its role in energy production, biotin enhances the synthesis of certain proteins.* In addition, biotin promotes healthy immune system function and plays a critical role in skin health.*

This extra strength product is 10 mg Biotin as compared to our other Biotin products - 1 mg Biotin and 5 mg Biotin.

• Supports Healthy Homocysteine Metabolism*

Folic acid is a very important member of the B-vitamin family required for DNA synthesis and genetic repair, making an adequate supply essential for rapidly dividing cells, such as red blood cells.* Folic acid is also necessary for the synthesis of methionine from homocysteine and can help to contribute to the healthy function of both the cardiovascular and nervous system.*

From the FDA: "0.8 mg folic acid in a dietary supplement is more effective in reducing the risk of neural tube defects than a lower amount in foods in common form. FDA does not endorse this claim. Public health authorities recommend that women consume 0.4 mg folic acid daily from fortified foods or dietary supplements or both to reduce the risk of neural tube defects."

• Supports Healthy Membrane Function*
• Myo-Inositol Form

Inositol is a non-essential member of the B-complex family with dietary sources from both animal and plant foods. The form of inositol used in this product is myo-inositol, the most abundant form of this nutrient. Inositol is found in all cell membranes, with the highest concentrations in the brain and central nervous system, where it plays an important role in neurotransmitter signaling.* Inositol is also critical for the proper action of insulin, lipid metabolism, and for the maintenance of cellular calcium balance.*

• Supports Healthy Nerve Transmission*
• Assists in Fatty Acid Metabolism*

Choline and inositol are members of the B-vitamin family. Choline is necessary for normal synaptic transmission, brain health, and fatty acid metabolism in the liver.* Inositol is also essential for brain and nervous system health.* Both choline and inositol are essential components of all cell membranes.*

• Supports Amino Acid Metabolism*
• Promotes Normal Immune Function*

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for normal growth and body function.* Biotin functions as a key regulatory element in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and in the metabolism of some amino acids.* Alongside its role in energy production, biotin enhances the synthesis of certain proteins.* In addition, biotin promotes healthy immune system function and plays a critical role in skin health.*

• Essential for Energy Production*

• Essential for Energy Production*
• With Folic Acid

Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and for the production of energy from fats and proteins.* Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells.* In addition, adequate intake of vitamin B-12, along with folic acid and vitamin B-6, is critical for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, thereby supporting a healthy cardiovascular system.* While B-12 is stored in the liver, dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy). Therefore, supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians.

From the FDA: "As part of a well-balanced diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, Vitamin B12 may reduce the risk of vascular disease. FDA evaluated the above claim and found that, while it is known that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol reduce the risk of heart disease and other vascular diseases, the evidence in support of the above claim is inconclusive."

• Essential for Energy Production*
• 3 Forms of B-12, including Co-Enzyme Forms

Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and for the production of energy from fats and proteins.* Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells.* While B-12 is stored in the liver, dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy). Therefore, supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians. This product provides vitamin B-12 in three forms, including the two readily available and activated co-enzyme forms, methylcobalamin and dibencozide.

• 5,000 mcg of B-12 per Teaspoon
• 3 Forms of B-12 for Maximum Utilization
• Complete Liquid B-Complex
• 800 mcg Folic Acid
• Pleasant Tasting!!

Vitamin B-12 has the largest and most complex chemical structure of all the vitamins. It is a water-soluble vitamin with a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, as well as in the metabolic utilization of fats and proteins and the cellular production of energy.* Vitamin B-12 is also essential for proper red blood cell production, homocysteine metabolism, and the maintenance of a healthy gastrointestinal tract.* NOW^® Vitamin B-12 is appropriate for vegetarians/vegans (non-animal derived), who are at higher risk of developing vitamin B-12 deficiency.

• Vitamin B-3, No Flush

Niacinamide (Vitamin B-3) is a form of niacin, a water soluble B-vitamin. It is a derivative of niacin that does not cause the “flush” normally associated with taking high doses of niacin. Niacinamide is readily converted into the bioactive forms of niacin, NAD+, NADH, NADP, and NADPH, which are vital cofactors in cellular energy production and are critical for the maintenance of DNA stability.*

Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Niacinamide and niacin are two different forms of vitamin B-3. Niacinamide does not cause a niacin flush.

• Riboflavin

Vitamin B-2, also known as riboflavin, is a member of the B-vitamin family. It occurs naturally in green vegetables, liver, kidneys, wheat germ, milk, eggs, cheese and fish. Riboflavin is an important enzyme cofactor necessary for energy production from carbohydrate, fat, and protein.* It is also needed for the regeneration of glutathione, which supports the body's natural defense mechanisms and detoxification systems.*

• Supports Energy Production*
• Healthy Nerve Tissue*

• B-Complex for Maximum Effectiveness
• Supports Energy Production*

B-100 Caps provide a full complement of B-vitamins plus choline and inositol. These vitamins work to support energy production, maintain healthy homocysteine metabolism, and promote the health of the nervous system.* B-vitamins are water soluble, and with the exception of B-12, have limited storage in the body and thus require daily replenishment. While B-12 is stored in the liver, dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy) and supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for vegetarians.
