It can be quite challenging to find reliable B-complex supplements that are safe in terms of dosage. Additionally, it is advisable to opt for bioactive vitamins for added safety. To help each other out, I have started compiling a list categorized into low, medium, and high dosages of B6 and B9, which are the most risky. I have also indicated whether they are bioactive. Please note that this is a rough categorization and does not reflect the quality, reviews, vegan status, or fillers of the products. You can find more information about these and other B vitamins and minerals through the provided link. Having such a list will save us a lot of time and effort in finding the right product that is also available in your country. I would appreciate your help in expanding or modifying the list. If you have had positive or negative experiences with any product, please share it here, preferably with the corresponding link.

Please note: This list of B-complex supplements is intended as a general guideline for finding safe products for your use, but it is important to consult the product information yourself before using it. I also want to emphasize that I am not responsible for the content (dosage and quality) of the capsules, as they often deviate from the stated specifications due to a lack of control.
In addition, it is advisable to seek advice from a healthcare professional to determine the correct dosage for your specific needs.
It is also important to know that the same B-complex products can sometimes have significant price differences and fluctuations. It is wise to check prices and compare products before making a decision.
Lastly, please be aware that the dosage of a product with the same name can vary between different countries, and there can also be significant variations in the use of bioactive vitamins.
DAILY REQUIREMENTS
The official daily requirement (NRV) for each B vitamin can be found below:
1.1mg vitamin B1

16mg vitamin B3
6mg vitamin B5
1.4mg vitamin B6
50µg biotin B7
200µg folate B9
