While providing high potencies, the B12 and B6 forms are standard and not the more active forms that some individuals might prefer. The calcium forms are also basic.
The 21st Century B-100 Complex delivers a more potent dose of essential B vitamins compared to its B-50 counterpart, with most B vitamins, including Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, and Pantothenic Acid, present at 100mg or 100mcg. This higher concentration is often sought by individuals with greater nutritional needs or those looking for more comprehensive metabolic support.
Like the B-50 version, this complex uses Niacinamide, which is a non-flushing form of Niacin, and includes Calcium from carbonate and dicalcium phosphate sources to support bone health. It serves as a strong daily B vitamin foundation for those seeking higher potency.
