Strava Healthcare makes Vitamin B complex capsules for pharmaceutical brands, nutraceutical companies, and institutional buyers. The eight B vitamins are water-soluble and essential, but that’s roughly where the similarity ends. Each has a distinct biochemical job, and a deficiency in any one of them produces specific clinical effects not a generic “low energy” picture. B complex formulations cover all eight together because deficiencies rarely show up in isolation; fix one and you’re often masking another.
We offer standard pharmacopoeial formulations and custom blends with added minerals, iron, or vitamin C, in gelatin and vegetable capsules. Coated tablets and chewable tablets are also available and widely used in Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Panama, and Bolivia.
B vitamin Functions
- B1 (Thiamine): glucose metabolism and nerve function — deficiency leads to Wernicke's encephalopathy and beriberi
- B2 (Riboflavin): mitochondrial energy production, antioxidant cofactor
- B3 (Niacin): NAD synthesis, lipid metabolism, DNA repair
- B5 (Pantothenic acid): coenzyme A synthesis, fatty acid metabolism
- B6 (Pyridoxine): amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, immune function
- B7 (Biotin): fatty acid synthesis, gluconeogenesis — common addition in hair and nail formulations
- B9 (Folic acid/Folate): DNA synthesis and repair, critical in early pregnancy
- B12 (Cobalamin): myelin maintenance, haematopoiesis — deficiency causes irreversible neuropathy if left untreated

Frequently Asked Questions
Riboflavin. B2 is bright yellow and water-soluble, so whatever the body doesn’t use gets flushed out through the kidneys quickly. It’s harmless and actually a reasonable sign that absorption is working normally patients sometimes worry about it, so it’s worth putting on the label or patient information.
Methylcobalamin is the active cofactor the body uses it directly. Cyanocobalamin is the cheaper, more stable form that converts after absorption. For most people, both work fine and the distinction barely matters in practice. Where it does matter is in patients with metabolic conditions that affect B12 conversion, certain MTHFR variants being the most common example. For those patients, methylcobalamin is the sensible choice. For a general B complex, cyanocobalamin is perfectly adequate.
