ADVANCED B COMPLEX is a vitamin b complex designed to take the metabolic, cognitive and overall health benefits of B vitamins to the next level. ADVANCED B COMPLEX contains Benfotiamine, a lipid-soluble form of B1 that is 5 times more bioavailable than other forms of thiamin, as well as Pantethine, Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P5P) and Methylcobalamin, bio-active forms of vitamin B5, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 respectively.

90 X 618mg capsules of AOR's Advanced B Complex.

Recommended Dose: unless otherwise directed take 1-3 capsules per day. Active ingredients contained in 1 capsule:

55mg Benfotiamine
2.5mg B2 (Riboflavin)
115mg Niacin (from Inositol Hexanicotinate)
100mg Pantothenic Acid (Pantethine)
33mg B6 (Pyridoxal-5-phosphate)
647mcg B12 (Methylcobalamin)
800mcg Folic Acid

At extremely high doses, vitamin B6 has been found to cause nerve damage. The Institute of Medicine has established a no adverse effects level (NOAEL) of 200 mg of Vitamin B6 per day, and a safe upper limit (UL) of 100mg per day. Do not exceed these limits from all vitamin B6 supplements (pyridoxine and Pyridox-amine) combined. Discontinue vitamin B6 supplementation and consult a physician immediately if you experience neurological symptoms such as numbness, burning, pain, pricking, or tingling in your fingers or feet, or unusual clumsiness. Persons taking many drugs - including 5-fluorouracil, hydralazine, levodopa, nortriptyline, phenytoin, and tetracycline- should not take high dose vitamin B6 supplements.
