Excellent quality with a natural energy boost
An excellent quality B complex, and I have tried a fair few over the last couple of years, some rubbish quality and some with the wrong ratio of various B vitamins (too much B12 for daily use, too little Thiamine, synthetic folic acid which I can’t take. The list goes on...)This seems to have the right balance of most of the B vitamins, though I do top up with extra B5 (Pantothenic acid) and B12 on occasion but these amounts vary depending on my changing needs, so I like this as a daily foundation supplement.The capsule looks slightly larger than average but I find it easy to swallow with water. I take it with breakfast and within an hour or so it helps to lift my fatigue a little.It’s a natural source of energy, unlike an uncomfortable buzzy boost from caffeine.I only take one a day. It does say you can take up to 3 but I have not yet tried this.I trust Thorne as I have used a few of their different products and found them all to be effective. I’d definitely buy this again, but am also going to try their Stress B complex to compare.

Not suitable for me got really bad headaches
These were not suitable for me as gave me very bad headaches and being soft capsules could not just break in halfThere were two ingredients that may have been an issue for me so was advised to try the Holland and Barrett B complex which are solid capsule so Im currently trying jus half will update this review if I can if I have same prob with diff brand incase it helps otherIt is prob not fault of this brand just that they do not suit me personally so don't be put of buying but think you have to try to find what suits you and if there are any side effects as there were for meMy health is poor so may not tolerate things as well as I used to

Worst headache
I never suffer with headaches but literally as soon as I started these my head began to throb everywhere.Even pains in my heart. I took them for a few days; and the pain continued so stopped for a few days, pain went, tried again to see if it was the pills and yes the pain came back.Clearly there’s something extremely potent in these pills which I will not be using again. A waste of £23 pounds.

High quality potent formula
These are hands down the best b-vitamins I’ve taken. I’ve got SIBO and suffer from a B-Vitamin deficiency. Without these, I can’t function properly throughout the day and my nails and hair are brittle. I also seem to react better to stress when I’m taking them. I’ve tried other supplements, including the ‘stress complex’ from the same brand. But they’re just not as effective.

Not for everyone
This is a good product and has very high levels of b12. However, I would not recommend this as a general B vitamin complex unless you understand your genetics. Specifically your need for methyl donors as dictated by your COMT and VDR SNPs. The levels of methyl donors are high and can easily cause overmethylation symptoms after just a couple of days of consecutive use. The Stress version of B vitamins from Thorne may be better suited for daily use for these individuals but even still there are other products on the market with a better balance.

Price has gone up do not buy!
Last month I paid £23 for this product there is no way I'm paying this price I've just ordered from Thorne website. I like this product but I'm giving 1* because the of the rip off price
