NOW Foods B-100 vs 21st Century B-50 Complex
Side-by-side supplement facts comparison
B-100, 250 Veg Capsules
B-100 Caps provide a full complement of B-Vitamins plus choline and inositol. These vitamins work to support energy production, maintain healthy homocysteine metabolism, and promote the health of the nervous system. B-vitamins are water soluble, and with the exception of B-12, have limited storage in the body and thus require daily replenishment. While B-12 is stored in the liver, dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy) and supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for vegetarians.

B-50 Complex, Prolonged Release, 60 Tablets
B vitamins are interdependent upon each other and interrelated in function; they help convert food into energy and help maintain the nervous system and body tissues. Prolonged release vitamins slowly release nutrients into the body over an extended period of time.
