B Vitamins & Biotin

What is on this shelf right now

B Vitamins & Biotin lists 52 products in total, 24 of them in stock today across 9 brands. Nature Made supplies 12 of those 24; the other eight brands contribute one to three bottles each. In-stock prices start at $10.99, sit at a $26.99 median and top out at $56.90 — sharing the floor price is Nature Made Vitamin B12 1000 mcg Time Release, 75 ct, the ceiling Methylated Vitamin B Complex, 240 ct.

Single B12: seven bottles, four strengths

Seven of the 24 are standalone B12, at 1,000 mcg, 2,500 mcg, 3,000 mcg and 5,000 mcg. Two put methyl on the front: Horbaach Methyl B12 5000 mcg Fast Dissolve, 120 ct and Deal Supplement Methyl B12 5000 mcg Chewable, 240 ct — both $30.00 at the same strength, one holding twice as many tablets. Thorne Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin 1 mg, 60 ct at $48.00 makes the label point plainly: 1 mg is another way of writing 1,000 mcg, so it matches the $10.99 bottle above on strength alone. Form and count explain the rest — check the Supplement Facts panel for which form is listed.

Biotin: 1,000 mcg to 10,000 mcg

Eight of the 24 are built around biotin, and they span a tenfold range. Nature Made Biotin 1000 mcg, 120 softgels is $15.97; Bronson Biotin 10000 mcg, 120 ct is $33.45 — same bottle count, ten times the front-label figure. Between them sit a 2,500 mcg hair-skin-nails softgel at $18.35 and a 5,000 mcg Nature Made softgel at $23.99. Blend versus single is the other axis: Swisse Biotin Hair Skin & Nails, 150 tablets at $56.00 lists biotin next to other ingredients. One filtering quirk: the hair-skin-nails tag exists here in two spellings, on 6 products and on 4.

B-complex: count matters more than brand here

Eight more are B-complex, four of them naming vitamin C as well — the cheapest being Nature Made B-Complex with Vitamin C Caplets, 100 ct at $10.99. Higher up, price tracks bottle size rather than reputation: Integrative Therapeutics Active B-Complex, 60 ct is $46.00 while Bronson Vitamin B Complex with C, 250 ct is $39.75, so the larger bottle is the cheaper one. Two of the eight put bioactive and methylated on the front; that describes the B forms, not the dose. The twenty-fourth bottle here is a prenatal multivitamin with folic acid.

Formats, bottle sizes and price bands

Across the 24 in stock the format split is 8 tablets, 7 capsules, 5 softgels, 2 gummies and 2 outside those groups — a narrow field for gummy shoppers. Counts cluster at 120 (5 products), then 60 and 240 (3 each), with 300, 250, 150 and 75 appearing twice apiece; one listing states no count. Prices sit mid-shelf: 10 of the 24 land between $30 and $50, 7 between $15 and $30, 5 under $15 and 2 above $50.

• $30.00 buys either 120 fast-dissolve tablets or 240 chewables at the same 5,000 mcg B12 strength, so count is the tiebreaker.
• Store tags are a browsing shortcut, not a claim: 20 of the 24 carry the Women’s Health tag and 15 the energy focus tag.

All 24 also sit in Health & Vitamins, 13 carry into Men’s Health and 3 into Immune Support. For the label questions these strengths raise, see How to Read a Supplement Facts Label; on the two gummy options, Do Gummies Work as Well as Capsules? covers the trade-off.
