When choosing a B complex vitamin product, consider BioGenesis? Ultra B Complex?. Physicians have carefully and thoughtfully formulated this B vitamin formulation with individuals in mind.

For special needs individuals, those with sensitivities, sluggish liver conversion pathways, or those who just want or need the very best B Complex, we suggest: Ultra B Complex?. Vitamins B2, B6, Inositol, Folic acid and B12 are present in their biologically active forms for greater tissue utilization. These biologically active B vitamins do not need to be activated in the liver, as do the USP grade forms. Because of this, the tissues of the body can take them up without any prior processing in the liver. Some studies have estimated enhanced tissue utilization up to 10 times higher than regular B vitamins. When regular B vitamins are absorbed into the blood stream a race against time begins between liver activation and kidney clearance. With biologically active forms the vitamin is available for immediate absorption in the tissues. Therefore less waste, less work for the liver and kidneys and faster individual response.

With Ultra B Complex?, you can be assured of quality, purity and effectiveness.
