21st Century B-100 Complex Prolonged Release Tablets - 60 Count

Benefits of B-Complex for Energy and Nervous System

Discover 21St Century B-100 — B vitamins are essential for converting the food you eat into usable energy. They act as cofactors in enzymatic reactions that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Additionally, they support the normal functioning of the nervous system, helping maintain healthy nerve cells and neurotransmitter activity. This may contribute to reduced feelings of fatigue and improved mental clarity. Since B vitamins are water-soluble and not stored in large amounts, daily intake is important.

Key Ingredients & Their Bioavailable Forms

Each prolonged release tablet contains: Thiamin (B1) 100 mg, Riboflavin (B2) 100 mg, Niacin (B3) 100 mg, Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCl) 30 mg, Folate 400 mcg, Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin) 100 mcg, Biotin 50 mcg, Pantothenic Acid (B5) 100 mg, and Calcium (as Dicalcium Phosphate) 100 mg. While the B12 is in the cyanocobalamin form (common and stable), the formula covers a broad spectrum of B vitamins at high potencies. The prolonged release helps maintain steady levels throughout the day.

How to Take B-100 Complex Prolonged Release Tablets

Take one tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Since B vitamins are water-soluble, excess is typically excreted in urine, which may cause a harmless bright yellow discolouration. The prolonged release formulation means the tablet should not be crushed or chewed; swallow it whole.

What is B-100 Complex?

B-100 Complex is a high potency blend of all eight essential B vitamins. These water-soluble vitamins work together to support energy metabolism, nervous system health, and the maintenance of healthy body tissues. The “100” refers to many B vitamins being present at 100 mg or 100 mcg levels, offering a robust dose for those requiring extra support. 21st Century’s formula uses a prolonged release design, allowing for gradual absorption.

How to Choose the Right B-Complex Supplement

When selecting a B-complex, consider dosage, form (tablet, capsule, liquid), and any dietary restrictions. This B-100 is gluten-free, non-GMO, and contains No added sugar or artificial flavors. It is suitable for adults seeking a high potency option. For individuals with MTHFR gene variants, methylated forms (like methylfolate and methylcobalamin) may be preferred, but this product uses folic acid and cyanocobalamin, which are standard and effective for most people.

Possible Side Effects and Interactions

B vitamin supplements are generally well tolerated. Some people may experience mild nausea, stomach upset, or a flushing sensation (especially from niacin). High doses may interact with certain medications, including anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and cancer treatments.
