Product Details

Product Code: stress-b-complex-THR
Servings per Container: 60
Quantity per Container: 60 Veg Capsules
Stress B-Complex contains an optimal balance of essential B vitamins, with extra vitamin B5 to support healthy adrenal and immune function.
Healthy adrenal glands play an important role in effectively managing stress. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is part of the B-vitamin complex and is essential for healthy adrenal and immune function. Thorne's Stress B-Complex provide extra vitamin B5, along with seven other water-soluble nutrients: thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin/R5P (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pyridoxine/P5P (vitamin B6), methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), methyl-folate (5MTHF), and biotin. Although each B vitamin is chemically distinct, they work synergistically in various biochemical functions throughout the body – including cellular energy production, healthy red-blood-cell formation, and healthy neurological function. Most B vitamins, with the exception of vitamin B12, are not stored in the body; consequently, they must be acquired daily from the diet in order to maintain optimal health.
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) serves as the starting material for the synthesis of coenzyme A, which is important for the metabolism of fats and the synthesis of adrenal hormones. Pantothenic acid plays a key role in the formation of acetylcholine, which is needed in the transmission of nerve impulses. Thorne's Stress B-Complex supplies 250 mg of pantothenic acid.
Suggested Usage
Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.

Warnings
If you are pregnant, nursing, trying to conceive, taking any medications, planning any medical procedure or have any medical condition, please consult your healthcare practitioner before using this product.
This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
Keep out of reach of children.

Folates Not Folic Acid
by Nanook -
Folic Acid, found in most B complex suppliments, requires conversion in the liver before becoming bio-available. Folates are immediately bio-available. Folic acid is more prevelant because it is cheap to synthesize. This product contains Folates and was the reason for my choice. Downside, relatively high Niacin dosage 50mg, relative to low B-12 dosage. Would prefer a higher B-12 (~5mg), and lower (~35mg) Niacin dosage.

Great vitamin C source

Tapioca Vitamin C capsules are a great source of vitamin C that is gentle on the stomach. This is such a great product and it doesn’t irritate my stomach. I highly recommend this product as it has kept my immune system strong and been easy on my stomach for over 6 years!

15 years and counting
by Liz
I have been taking these B vitamins for 15 years and they are great! They are great for stress and have methylated B12 which is critical if you don't have the MTHFR gene like I don't.
