Doppelherz Aktiv B-Complex 30 Tablets | Energy & Nervous System

Doppelherz Aktiv B-Complex is a premium, scientifically balanced dietary supplement designed to supply the human body with all eight essential B-group vitamins. Modern lifestyles, high stress levels, and unbalanced diets often lead to a depletion of these water-soluble micronutrients, which cannot be stored by the body for long periods. This comprehensive formula acts as a metabolic catalyst, directly supporting the transformation of food into cellular energy while maintaining the structural integrity of the nervous system. By combining vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Pantothenic Acid, Doppelherz provides a robust shield against physical fatigue and mental exhaustion, helping you maintain peak cognitive and physical performance throughout the day.

Composition and Active Substance

Each tablet provides a full spectrum of the B-vitamin family, meticulously balanced for adult daily needs:

• Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): 1.1 mg – crucial for carbohydrate metabolism and heart function.

• Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): 1.4 mg – supports cellular respiration and vision.

• Niacin (Vitamin B3): 16 mg NE – essential for DNA repair and skin health.

• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): 6 mg – synthesizes neurotransmitters and reduces fatigue.

• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): 1.4 mg – vital for protein metabolism and red blood cell formation.

• Biotin (Vitamin B7): 50 µg – supports healthy hair, skin, and macronutrient processing.

• Folic Acid (Vitamin B9): 200 µg – essential for cell division and amino acid synthesis.

• Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): 2.5 µg – critical for neurological health and preventing anemia.

Pharmacological Action

The vitamins in the B-complex group work synergistically, acting as coenzymes in a vast array of enzymatic reactions:

• Energy Production: Vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5 are integral to the Krebs cycle, the process by which mitochondria convert glucose, fats, and proteins into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) — the body's primary energy currency.

• Neurological Maintenance: Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid are necessary for the synthesis of myelin, the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibers. Vitamin B6 directly influences the production of serotonin and dopamine, regulating mood and stress responses.

• Hematopoiesis: Vitamins B6, B9, and B12 are required for the normal formation of red blood cells, ensuring optimal oxygen transport to tissues.

Indications for Use

Doppelherz Aktiv B-Complex is indicated for:

• Fatigue and Exhaustion: Periods of high mental or physical strain, chronic tiredness, and lack of energy.

• Nervous System Support: Supporting cognitive function, memory, and managing mild stress.

• Dietary Gaps: Individuals on restricted diets, the elderly, or those with malabsorption issues.

• Post-Illness Recovery: Rebuilding metabolic reserves after physical illness or prolonged stress.

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to any of the B-vitamins or the tablet's excipients.

• Severe Renal Failure: High doses of water-soluble vitamins are generally safe, but severe kidney dysfunction requires medical supervision for any supplement.

• Pediatrics: This formulation is designed for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age.

Dosage and Administration

• Standard Dose: 1 tablet daily.

• Method: Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of liquid (e.g., a full glass of water). Do not chew.

• Consistency: For best results, take the supplement daily at approximately the same time.

Special Administration Tips

Take the tablet during or immediately after a meal. While B-vitamins are water-soluble, taking them with food minimizes potential stomach irritation and optimizes the absorption of the active compounds as digestion takes place.

Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

B-vitamins are water-soluble, meaning excess amounts are simply excreted in the urine. However, some mild reactions may occur:

• Urine Coloration: A harmless, bright yellow discoloration of the urine caused by the natural color of Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). This is completely normal and safe.

• Gastrointestinal: Mild nausea or stomach cramps if taken on a completely empty stomach.

• Allergic Reactions: Rare instances of skin flushing or itching (usually associated with high doses of Niacin).

Special Precautions & Warnings

• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use. While B-vitamins are essential during pregnancy (especially Folic Acid), the dosage should align with prenatal guidelines.

• Lab Tests: High doses of Biotin can interfere with certain clinical laboratory tests (such as thyroid or troponin tests). Inform your doctor that you are taking a B-complex supplement before undergoing blood work.

• Medication Interactions: Vitamin B6 can reduce the effectiveness of certain medications like Levodopa (used for Parkinson's disease).

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life

• Environment: Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Temperature: Keep at room temperature below 25°C.

• Safety: Keep out of the reach and sight of small children.
