Mega B Complex is a comprehensive formula containing B vitamins in an easy to swallow vanilla coated capsule.

B vitamins assist the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates and fats and support energy production.

B vitamins assist the synthesis of neurotransmitters and support nervous system health and a healthy stress response in the body.

Mega B Complex contains folinic acid, a more metabolically active form of folate that bypasses several steps in folic acid metabolism. Folinic acid supports healthy foetal development and helps prevent dietary folate deficiency.

Mega B Complex contains vitamin B12 that plays a role in cell growth and replication.

Mega B Complex helps prevent dietary B12 deficiency. The elderly, strict vegetarians and vegans are at increased risk of a vitamin B12 deficiency.

Folinic acid and vitamin B12 maintain brain and cognitive function and support haemoglobin formation, blood health and cardiovascular system health.

Mega B Complex contains vitamins B2 and B5 to support skin health.

DRUG INTERACTIONS:

Contraindicated with pyrimethamine (antimalarial) - folate may reduce drug effectiveness.

Caution with tetracycline antibiotics - concurrent administration with B2 and B12 may decrease the effectiveness of the medication. Separate dose.

Caution with chloramphenicol (broad spectrum antibiotic) - folinic acid and B12 may impact drug metabolism. Separate dose.

Caution with anticholinergic drugs - may reduce absorption of vitamin B2. Separate dose.

Caution with carbamazepine and primidone - vitamin B3 and folate may impact drug metabolism, resulting in increased drug levels in the body. Monitor.

Caution with levodopa - vitamin B6 may reduce drug effects. However, this effect is prevented by the administration of a dopadecarboxylase inhibitor (e.g. benserazide, carbidopa) with levodopa, as is common clinical practice.

Caution with phenobarbital/phenobarbitone and phenytoin (anticonvulsants) - vitamin B6 and folate may reduce serum concentrations of these drugs.

CAUTIONS:

B vitamins are stimulatory in nature. To avoid any sleep interference, it is recommended you do not take B vitamin supplements at night before bed.

Taking at night may result in more vivid dreams (vitamin B6).

SIDE EFFECTS:

Supplemental B vitamins may cause nausea or mild gastrointestinal upset if taken on an empty stomach. Best taken with food to reduce risk.
