The vitamin B complex comprises 8 different water-soluble constituents that humans must sequester from the diet. This pilot study compared natural versus synthetic vitamin B complexes for their bioavailability, accumulation, and their impact on antioxidants, homocysteine levels, and oxidative stress. We conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial with thirty healthy participants. They were randomly assigned to group N (natural) and group S (synthetic). Vitamin B was ingested daily for 6 weeks in the range of about 2.5 times above the recommended daily allowance. Blood samples were taken at baseline, 1.5 h, 4 h, 7 h (diurnal), 6 w (discontinuation of supplements), and 8 w (washout). Blood levels of thiamine (B), riboflavin (B), pyridoxine (B), folic acid (B), cobalamin (B), homocysteine, total antioxidants, peroxidase activity, polyphenols, and total peroxides were determined. Compared to initial values, serum levels of each B vitamin increased at the end of the supplementation period: i.e., B (+23% N; +27% S), B (+14% N; +13% S), B (+101% N; +101% S), B (+86% N; +153% S), and B (+16% N) ( < 0.05). Homocysteine (-13% N) decreased, while peroxidase activity (+41% S) and antioxidant capacity increased (+26% N). Short-term effects were already observed after 1.5 h for B (+238% N; +246% S) and after 4 h for vitamin B (+7% N; +8% S), B (+59% N; +51% S), and peroxidase activity (+58% N; +58% S). During the washout period, serum levels of B vitamins decreased except for thiamine and peroxidase activity, which increased further. This clinical pilot study revealed comparable bioavailability for both natural and synthetic B vitamins but did not show statistically noticeable differences between groups despite some favourable tendencies within the natural vitamin group, i.e., sustained effects for cobalamin and endogenous peroxidase activity and a decrease in homocysteine and oxidative stress levels.
维生素 B 复合物由 8 种不同的水溶性成分组成,人体必须从饮食中摄取这些成分。本研究比较了天然和合成维生素 B 复合物的生物利用度、积累情况以及它们对抗氧化剂、同型半胱氨酸水平和氧化应激的影响。我们进行了一项双盲随机临床试验,共有 30 名健康参与者。他们被随机分配到 N 组(天然)和 S 组(合成)。参与者每天摄入维生素 B,剂量约为推荐日摄入量的 2.5 倍,持续 6 周。在基线、1.5 小时、4 小时、7 小时(日间)、6 周(停止补充)和 8 周(洗脱期)采集血样。测定血液中硫胺素(B1)、核黄素(B2)、吡哆醇(B6)、叶酸(B9)、钴胺素(B12)、同型半胱氨酸、总抗氧化剂、过氧化物酶活性、多酚和总过氧化物的水平。与初始值相比,补充期结束时每种 B 族维生素的血清水平均升高:即 B1(N 组增加 23%;S 组增加 27%)、B2(N 组增加 14%;S 组增加 13%)、B6(N 组增加 101%;S 组增加 101%)、B9(N 组增加 86%;S 组增加 153%)和 B12(N 组增加 16%)(<0.05)。同型半胱氨酸(N 组降低 13%)降低,而过氧化物酶活性(S 组增加 41%)和抗氧化能力(N 组增加 26%)增加。B 族维生素(N 组增加 238%;S 组增加 246%)在 1.5 小时后,维生素 B (N 组增加 7%;S 组增加 8%)和过氧化物酶活性(N 组增加 59%;S 组增加 51%)在 4 小时后观察到短期效应。在洗脱期,除了硫胺素和过氧化物酶活性进一步增加外,B 族维生素的血清水平下降。本临床初步研究显示天然和合成 B 族维生素具有相当的生物利用度,但尽管天然维生素组存在一些有利趋势,如钴胺素和内源性过氧化物酶活性的持续作用以及同型半胱氨酸和氧化应激水平的降低,但两组之间没有统计学上的显著差异。
