Overview
•All B vitamins in this product are in bioavailable forms at dosages well within safe upper limits (e.g., niacin <35 mg tolerable upper intake), minimizing overdose risks for healthy adults.
•Low potential for drug interactions; however, high-dose B6 may enhance levodopa effects in Parkinson's patients, and niacin could interact with statins or blood pressure medications.
•Generally safe for pregnancy at recommended doses, but consult a healthcare provider as folate needs increase; choline supports fetal brain development.
•No major allergens present; suitable for most sensitivities, though those with rare citrate allergies should note choline citrate and magnesium citrate.
•High-quality manufacturing by Thorne reduces contamination risks; third-party tested for purity, with no reported heavy metals or adulterants.
•Long-term use is safe for most, but monitor B12 levels in vegans or those with absorption issues; excess water-soluble B vitamins are excreted in urine.
