The B vitamins are supplied in their bioactive (coenzyme) forms, including methylcobalamin and calcium-L-methylfolate. This is the EU formulation, item 01945EU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"faq-doses\"\u003eWhat B vitamins and doses does it contain?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003ePer two capsules: vitamin B1 100mg, B2 75mg, B3 100mg, B5 500mg, B6 16mg, biotin 1000µg, folate 400µg and B12 300µg, plus inositol 100mg and PABA 50mg. Every named B vitamin is well above the 15% NRV \"source\" threshold; inositol and PABA have no EU Reference Value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"faq-forms\"\u003eAre the B vitamins in active (bioactive) forms?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes. B12 is supplied as methylcobalamin, folate as calcium-L-methylfolate (the 5-MTHF form), and part of the B6 and B2 is supplied as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and riboflavin 5'-phosphate respectively. These are the coenzyme forms of the vitamins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"faq-benefits\"\u003eWhat are the authorised benefits of the B vitamins?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eUnder EU law, several authorised claims apply to the named vitamins. Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism; B2, B3, B6, B12 and folate contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; B6 and folate contribute to normal psychological function; B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation; and biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin. These claims relate to the nutrients, not to inositol or PABA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\" id=\"faq-yellow\"\u003eCan it cause bright yellow urine?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes, and it is harmless. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is naturally bright yellow, and the body excretes what it does not use, which can turn urine a vivid yellow for a few hours after taking it.
