Important: B6 at 100mg
This formula provides pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P) at 100mg per capsule, which is at the tolerable upper intake level (UL) for vitamin B6 established by Health Canada and the Institute of Medicine. Do not exceed the recommended dose of 1 capsule per day. Do not combine with other supplements containing vitamin B6 without consulting a healthcare practitioner. Long term intake of vitamin B6 above the UL can cause peripheral neuropathy.
B Complex MAX vs B Complex Safe: Which Formula Is Right for You?
Nutridom offers two B complex formulas. Understanding the difference is important before choosing.
B Complex Safe uses balanced, moderate doses with enhanced forms for B1, B2, and B12. B6 is provided as pyridoxine HCl at 25mg (well below the 100mg UL). B9 is provided as folic acid at 500mcg. B12 is methylcobalamin at 250mcg. It is designed for daily wellness support for most healthy adults.
B Complex MAX uses fully active forms for every B vitamin, at higher doses for B6 (100mg P-5-P, at the UL), B9 (1,000mcg L-5-MTHF, active folate), B12 (1,000mcg methylcobalamin), and inositol (100mg myo-inositol). It is designed for adults who specifically require active forms throughout, particularly those with known or suspected MTHFR variants who cannot efficiently convert folic acid to L-5-MTHF, or those who require P-5-P rather than pyridoxine HCl due to impaired hepatic conversion. Consult a healthcare practitioner if you are unsure which formula is appropriate for you.
What This Is
B Complex MAX provides 10 B vitamins and B complex nutrients per vegan capsule, each in its active or superior form, licensed by Health Canada with NPN 80112908. The formula is designed for adults who specifically want active forms throughout, not just for select B vitamins. Manufactured in Canada to GMP standards under the Nutridom brand. At 1 capsule per day, 120 capsules provides a 120 day supply.
The Active Forms: Why Each Choice Was Made
B9 | L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) | 1,000mcg
This is the most clinically significant active form decision in this formula. Most B complex supplements and fortified foods use folic acid, a synthetic form of folate that must be converted to L-5-MTHF through a multi-step enzymatic process involving the MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) enzyme. Approximately 40 to 60% of the population carries a genetic variant in the MTHFR gene (C677T or A1298C polymorphisms) that reduces this conversion by 30 to 70% depending on the variant and whether it is heterozygous or homozygous.
L-5-MTHF is the form of folate that crosses the blood brain barrier and is the form directly used by the body for methylation reactions, including the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. This formula provides 1,000mcg of L-5-MTHF per capsule, bypassing the MTHFR conversion step entirely.
B12 | Methylcobalamin | 1,000mcg
Methylcobalamin is the active coenzyme form of B12 found in human blood and tissues. Unlike cyanocobalamin, the synthetic form used in most B complex supplements, methylcobalamin does not require hepatic conversion and is directly bioavailable. It is better retained in nervous system tissue than cyanocobalamin and functions directly as a cofactor for methionine synthase in the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. This formula provides 1,000mcg of methylcobalamin per capsule, four times the dose in B Complex Safe.
B6 | Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate (P-5-P) | 100mg
Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6. Standard B6 supplements use pyridoxine hydrochloride, which must be converted to P-5-P in the liver via pyridoxal kinase and pyridoxine-5-phosphate oxidase. People with liver conditions or certain metabolic variants may have impaired conversion. P-5-P is directly bioavailable without requiring hepatic conversion. At 100mg, this formula provides B6 at the tolerable upper intake level. Do not exceed the recommended dose of 1 capsule per day.
B5 | D-Pantethine | 30mg
D-Pantethine is the active, reduced form of pantothenic acid and a direct precursor to coenzyme A (CoA). Standard B5 supplements use calcium pantothenate, which must be converted to pantethine and then to CoA. D-Pantethine bypasses the first conversion step and is a more direct CoA precursor. CoA is central to the citric acid cycle, fatty acid synthesis and oxidation, and the synthesis of steroid hormones, neurotransmitters, and hemoglobin.
B3 | Inositol Hexanicotinate | 30mg
Inositol hexanicotinate is a form of niacin in which six nicotinic acid molecules are esterified to an inositol molecule. It releases niacin more slowly than standard nicotinic acid, reducing the prostaglandin mediated skin flushing associated with standard niacin. Note: people sensitive to nicotinic acid may still experience mild, transient flushing with inositol hexanicotinate. Niacinamide (used in B Complex Safe) does not cause flushing but is a different form with different metabolic properties.
B2 | Riboflavin-5-Phosphate (R5P) | 30mg
R5P is the active coenzyme form of riboflavin. Standard riboflavin must be phosphorylated in the intestinal wall to R5P before it can be utilized as a component of FMN and FAD, the coenzymes essential for the electron transport chain, fatty acid oxidation, and glutathione recycling. R5P bypasses this conversion step and is immediately bioavailable.
B1 | Benfotiamine | 30mg
Benfotiamine is a fat soluble derivative of thiamine with significantly higher oral bioavailability than standard water soluble thiamine salts (thiamine HCl or thiamine mononitrate). Because it is fat soluble, benfotiamine achieves higher blood and tissue concentrations at equivalent doses and is better retained in tissues including nervous system tissue.
B7 | Biotin | 50mcg
Biotin is provided at 50mcg, a nutritional support level consistent with daily wellness use. This dose does not carry the laboratory test interference risk associated with high dose biotin (10,000mcg) supplementation.
Inositol | Myo-Inositol | 100mg
Myo-inositol is the most abundant and biologically active form of inositol in the body. It functions as a component of phosphatidylinositol, a cell membrane phospholipid involved in intracellular signaling pathways including insulin signal transduction and serotonin receptor function. This formula provides 100mg of myo-inositol per capsule, four times the dose in B Complex Safe.
Choline | Choline Bitartrate | 30mg
Choline is an essential nutrient and precursor to acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter involved in memory, learning, and neuromuscular function) and phosphatidylcholine (a primary structural component of cell membranes). Choline bitartrate is a stable, well absorbed salt form of choline.
Medicinal Ingredients (per capsule)
- Vitamin B1 (Benfotiamine) 30mg
- Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin-5-phosphate) 30mg
- Vitamin B3 (Inositol hexanicotinate) 30mg

- Made in Canada GMP certified facility under Health Canada oversight
- All 10 B vitamins in active or superior forms
- Vegan capsule Hypromellose shell, no gelatin
- Non GMO | Gluten free | Soy free | Dairy free
- 120 capsules 120 day supply at 1 capsule per day
Who This Is For
- Adults who specifically require active forms throughout their B complex, particularly L-5-MTHF (not folic acid) and P-5-P (not pyridoxine HCl)
- Those with known or suspected MTHFR variants who cannot efficiently convert folic acid to L-5-MTHF
- Adults who want methylcobalamin at 1,000mcg and L-5-MTHF at 1,000mcg in a single daily capsule
- Vegans and vegetarians who want a fully active form B complex with methylcobalamin B12
- Adults who have reviewed the B6 at 100mg (tolerable upper intake level) consideration and understand the importance of not exceeding the recommended dose
How to Use
Adults: Take 1 capsule once daily with food. At 1 capsule per day, one bottle of 120 capsules provides a 120 day supply. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Taking with food improves absorption and reduces the chance of nausea that can occur with high dose B vitamins on an empty stomach.
Note: Riboflavin-5-phosphate (B2) may cause bright yellow urine. This is a normal and harmless effect of riboflavin metabolism.
Safety and Cautions
Do not exceed the recommended dose of 1 capsule per day. This formula provides vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) at 100mg, which is at the tolerable upper intake level for adults. Long term intake of vitamin B6 above the tolerable upper intake level can cause peripheral neuropathy. Do not combine with other supplements containing vitamin B6 without consulting a healthcare practitioner.
People sensitive to nicotinic acid may experience mild, transient flushing of the skin due to the inositol hexanicotinate (B3) in this formula.
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you are taking medications. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not use if the seal is broken or missing.
