So glad I take this one instead…
I am in love with this Jarrow Formulas B-right Complex.I began taking B-vitamins from Trader Joe’s. They were big and a powdery capsule and they smelled. Those supplements tasted bad too and they would stick and were just gross. But I needed B-vitamins and they were a good price so I just stuck with it (sometimes invulnatrily when it stuck in my throat- ouch!)Then I started buying supplements on Amazon. I researched this brand before buying it. This is one of the brands I would trust over others that you often find at grocery stores and not places like specialty stores. This brand is on lots of different clean eating websites as being trustworthy. I have not found a whole lot that says otherwise. Not all supplements are created ethically or healthfully.Having a good supplement is worth doing some research for to know what will fit your needs best and which brand you trust versus cost and other considerations. I feel the amounts of different types of B-vitamin complexes in this supplement are a good fit for what I want. I wanted energy and a healthier body and a better chance at a healthy baby if/when I do conceive. (thinking of trying to get pregnant in a few months)This supplement has good amounts of folic acid (great for reproductive health and a developing fetus), biotin (great for hair, skin and nails!) and many other B-vitamins that are good for various functions in the body. Some B 12 is made from cyanocobalamin and some people think it is less healthy to take an acid bound form of cyanide in the pill. Most research says it’s safe and poses no concern, but this B complex vitamin doesn’t have it, so no need to worry if that is something you are concerned about.Be careful not to take too much of a B-vitamin because they can cause a person to flush or feel hot. I have had the flush happen a few times. Typically if you experience the flush (flushed skin from dilated blood vessels), it may happen at the beginning of using that particular supplement and then your body usually becomes used to the supplement and the flushing stops.Some people may experience flushing when other things happen, IE seasonal or food allergies can trigger sensitivity to the supplement and you can have the flush reaction spontaneously. The flush is a rash that is often on the trunk, face, neck, arms, hands and feet. it tends to be worse at areas that have lots of blood vessels, IE the elbows and hands. The red flush and warm feeling are from blood vessels becoming wider and relaxed and having extra blood flow. It can feel hot and itchy, or like hives.If you experience the flush reaction, immediately drink a cold glass of water. The flush often is abruptly stopped with in a half hour. The water also helps the vitamin do what it’s supposed to do, which part of the mechanism of action and desired benefit from this supplement is flushing toxins from the blood and body. Some people may benefit from certain medications, like Benadryl or Aspirin, of course ask your doctor or pharmacist before you try medicine, if you require medicine for the flush reaction, you probably have something other than the flush reaction happening in your body and you should seek help or instruction from a professional.So yes, it is a pretty large supplement. It doesn’t get stuck when I take it. The capsule is the dry cellulose type and not a gel cap. Gel caps are easier to swallow for some people. I love that it isn’t some nasty tasting powdery disgusting supplement. I don’t get re-flux or nasty burps from this vitamin (people often refer to it as “the B burps”)I put this supplement in with my other medicine in my medi-planner and it does not make my other medicine taste bad (the one from trader joe’s would make my other medicine taste really terrible). So I am pretty excited about this supplement. It doesn’t stink and it has the nutrients my body needs and it does not have a bad texture.

This is the best and the cheapest optimised B-complex on the market.It contains methyl-B12 (-CH3) rather than the cheaper and more stable cyano-B12 (-CN).N.B. Cyanide-B12 makes a lot of people feel unwell:Did you know B12 is an antidote to cyanide poisoning?BTW: A lot of people need more methyl groups to improve methylation.As a result methyl-B12 increases energy… while CN-B12 decreases energy i.e. Makes you feel badUnfortunately CH3-B12 has a shorter shelf life than CN-B12… but that’s not an issue if you have used up all the tablets within the normal expiry date (about 1 year)The formula also contains folate (the active form of B9) rather than folic acid (the inactive form) .Jarrow keep fiddling with the niacin in this formulation: It is currently nicotinic acid but has been inositol hexanicotinate (IH) in the past. The amount in the formula seems to keep changing too. This is probably because Niacin (B3) causes an uncomfortable flush and many customers complain. The IH form is preferable to avoid/reduce flushing… and it allows higher amounts to be taken. 100 mg would be a more useful dose… as it would reduce the need to take extra niacin.The bottle contains 100 tablets… which is OK… but a bigger bottle (200) would suit most families better. Otherwise you end up with a big pile of empties very quickly.If you’re uncertain about B-complex formulations this is the one to try.:-)P.S. Hydroxy-B12 could be used in this formulation to increase shelf life.OH-B12 is a very pleasant and is well tolerated by anyone who finds CN-B12 unpleasant.
