Swanson Balance Vitamin B-50 Complex 250 Caps

there aren't alot of vit c complex choices but this is a good one. regular, synthetic ascorbic acid and ascorbate denature the ceruloplasmin, copper transport protein and allow copper to leach out. unbound copper like iron and fluoride can be very reactive causing ros. the vit c complex from food and/or fermentation contains 2 bound copper atoms per complex molecule. bioavailable copper is very important for iron regulation and many enzymes.

I take a lot of vitamins and have been doing so for over 30 years. I estimate about 90 pills a day. I used to buy most of my vitamins from a Swanson competitor but in recent years that competitor has drastically cut down their inventory and availability to the point where I started buying much more from Swanson. Since that switch, I have noticed an uptick of diarrhea and I think I've pinpointed it to this particular Swanson product- B-50 capsules. I don't know if it's because of Swanson's formula or the fact that the product comes in capsules instead of caplets, but if I take more than 1 of these per day, I notice drastic changes in the form of diarrhea. The aforementioned competitor sells their B-50 in the form of caplets (when it's available from them) and that seems to be the reason that I used to be able to take 4 of those per day in 4 divided doses (along with all the other supplements I usually take) without suffering from diarrhea. It could just be that Swanson's formula may be actually more potent than the competitor's but that doesn't help if I want to keep high blood levels of the product all day long by taking 4 per day. If you only intend to take 1 per day, Swanson's may be for you but beware if you intend to take more.

I’ve been using this product for a very long time. They have helped to keep my immune system strong, even at 88!

I really like this product. The ingredients are what l was looking for. Also, the price is great for this vitamin supplement. I would highly recommend this product.

Have been taking B-50 for many years now. It is keeping me healthy at 82-1/2 years of age. Would highly recommend it.

I’m pretty sure I get plenty of energy from my B- 50

The Swanson Balance B-50 Complex 250 Caps has a slight taste and unpleasant smell and makes the urine very yellow. Haven't been taking it long enough to know if has the effects I need. I Really wanted small tablets with no taste or smell.

My husband and I have been taken B-50 for years and we are very pleased with the results.

A good strong B complex formula supplement to keep you going. It could use the addition of Vitamin C to make it even better. The price is quite reasonable also.

I'm on prescription medication that deletes my vitamin B's so I started taking these seem to be good

Your body uses B vitamins in a number of ways. Most people are aware of B12 to help give us energy (it’s used in many energy drinks). But did you know that B6 helps your immune system produce antibodies? Also, B12 MAY help to relieve constipation. So, I recommend adding a B complex supplement to your daily regimen.

This is a good, balanced b-complex vitamin. I feel better when I take it daily.

Been taking it for years. B complex is vital to the good health of 75 year old people like me and my diabetic wife. The price is right and the product easy on the stomach.

Dr. said to take. been using it for years. good product. always satisfied.

It started melting. Never seen anything like this.

This is a good B-50 complex. I wish that Swanson would jack up the Folic Acid and Biotin, they are just a tad above the RDA, and the Choline is at 9% according to the label; although the Biotin and Choline are both at 50 mg; so I suppose that validates the "50" in the product name. Still, those are both important enough to substantially increase (like twenty times over) and as B-complex vitamins go, Swanson is right up there with the best of them Overall, this is a good B-50 complex and I'm sticking with it.

I have been using the product for a few years, and its quality is high while price is low. In addition I find it convenient that I need to buy it only once in 8 months.

Wow, what a boost in energy and clear headedness!

I have been purchasing many of their vitamins, they are good quality, and arrive quickly. B-50 takes away the stress wrinkles on my forehead. Love it.

I like the capsule, the color and the easy way it goes down.
