CHF #18M B-Complex

CHF #18MB-Complex The water-soluble B vitamins have to be absorbed in the small intestine and then go to the liver where they are biotransformed into their active coenzyme forms. CHF #18M B Complex contains vitamins B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (methylcobalamin) in their physiologically-active form making them easier to absorb and "ready-for-use". For example, in patients receiving pyridoxine HCI, only 33 percent responded with an increase in plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P5P); however, the level increased in all of the patients receiving P5P.* Folate is provided as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), which bypasses metabolic steps to folate bioactivity. Despite research showing that folic acid and 5-MTHF have equivalent bioavailability and that supplementation with large doses of folic acid can "force" its conversion to the more active form, 5-MTHF may be the preferred form to replenish folate. This may be especially applicable to those with digestive chal
