B-Complex Vitamins are needed by the body for energy production, synthesis of hormones and blood cells, healthy nervous system function, and numerous other metabolic processes.  The forms of the B Vitamins found in foods and most supplement, however, are not readily utilized by the body.  They require conversion into their active forms before they can perform their functions as cofactors in bio-chemical reactions. 

NOW® Co-Enzyme B-Complex contains B Vitamins already in their active or "Coenzyme" forms.  This enables the body to use them more quickly and efficiently because once absorbed, they are transported directly to their site of action, requiring no conversion.  NOW® Co-Enzyme B-Complex tablets are enteric coated to enhance bioavailability and delivery to intestinal absorption sites intact, unharmed by stomach acids.*

LIKELY USERS:   People with poor digestion or low stomach acid, People needing ENERGY, People desiring metabolism support

KEY INGREDIENTS: CoEnzyme B-Vitamins plus synergists

MAIN PRODUCT FEATURES: B Complex Vitamins are needed by the body for energy production, synthesis of hormones and blood cells, healthy nervous system function, and numerous other metabolic processes. The forms of the B Vitamins found in foods and most supplements, however, are not readily utilized by the body.  They require conversion into their active forms before they can perform their functions as cofactors in biochemical reactions.  NOWR Co-Enzyme B-Complex contains B Vitamins already in their active or "Coenzyme" forms.  This enables the body to use them more quickly and efficiently because, once absorbed, they are transported directly to their site of action, requiring no conversion. 1

B Complex Vitamins are needed by the body for energy production, synthesis of hormones and blood cells, healthy nervous system function, and numerous other metabolic processes 1, 2.  The forms of the B Vitamins found in foods and most supplements, however, are not readily utilized by the body.  They require conversion into their active forms before they can perform their functions as coenzymes in biochemical reactions 1, 2.      

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT USE INFORMATION & QUALITY ISSUES: NOWR Co-Enzyme B-Complex tablets are enteric coated to enhance bioavailability by allowing delivery to intestinal absorption sites intact, unharmed by stomach acids.2 Our Quality department had to qualify several new ingredients for this formula.

This formula is enhanced with added Coenzyme C10 (CoQ10), Alpha Lipoic Acid, Betaine (TMG), Vitamin C, and both coenzyme forms of B-12 (Methylcobalamin and Dibencoside) and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

SERVING SIZE & HOW TO TAKE IT: Two tablets daily, preferably in divided doses. This enteric-coated tablet is best to take between meals (one or more hours before a meal or hours after a meal), as it has an acid-resistant coating that dissolves beyond the stomach and needs to transit quickly past the stomach.

COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS: Vitamin C, TMG (Betaine), Lecithin (Choline, Inositol)

Vitamins

Why take vitamin and mineral supplements? Supplements may help healthy people for a number of reasons. They can help prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies when the diet is not adequate to provide all necessary nutrients. They can also provide amounts of nutrients larger than the diet can provide. Larger amounts of some nutrients may help to protect against future disease.*
