What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 11 of its 11 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Aller-B contains 11 active ingredients: B-vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, B6, B12, pantothenic acid, and biotin), plus inositol, choline bitartrate, folate, and PABA. These are all essential nutrients involved in energy production, nerve function, and cell health.

The inactive ingredients are rice flour, vegetable lubricant, and gelatin (the capsule).

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Sideroblastic anemia — rated "Effective" (Vitamin B6) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Imerslund-Grasbeck disease — rated "Effective" (Vitamin B12) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Pantothenic acid deficiency — rated "Effective" (Pantothenic Acid) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Thiamine deficiency — rated "Effective" (Thiamine) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Vitamin B12 deficiency — rated "Effective" (Vitamin B12) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for individual ingredients varies. Thiamine is effective for thiamine deficiency and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, and possibly effective for period pain (dysmenorrhea).

Vitamin B6 is effective for sideroblastic anemia, B6 deficiency, and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, and likely effective for high homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia); it's possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea. Vitamin B12 is effective for B12 deficiency and Imerslund-Grasbeck disease.

Biotin is likely effective for biotin deficiency. Niacin is likely effective for pellagra and possibly effective for acne, high blood phosphate (hyperphosphatemia), and osteoarthritis.

Pantothenic acid is effective for pantothenic acid deficiency. For other claimed uses — inositol for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic syndrome (possibly effective), and riboflavin, choline, and PABA — either the evidence isn't established in our data or ratings aren't available.

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 9 of the 9 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 9 of 9.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 9 of 9.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Overall, the B-vitamins and related nutrients in this product are generally well tolerated at standard doses. Thiamine is generally very safe; riboflavin and biotin excess are removed in the urine, making them safe even at higher doses.

Niacin and vitamin B6 are well tolerated at typical amounts but can cause side effects at high doses — high-dose B6 over time can harm nerves (sensory neuropathy), and niacin can cause itching, drowsiness, and stomach upset. Choline at high doses (above 3.5 grams daily) may cause a fishy body odor, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Inositol commonly causes mild diarrhea, gas, and nausea. Pantothenic acid and biotin rarely cause diarrhea.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, thiamine, riboflavin, B6, B12, niacin, biotin, and pantothenic acid are rated Likely Safe or Possibly Safe at recommended amounts under doctor guidance. Inositol is rated Possibly Safe in pregnancy but requires medical supervision; we hold no specific data for choline, folate, and PABA in these contexts — discuss with your provider.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 7 of the 9 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Inositol, Choline, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, among others.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; Parkinson's medications.
  • For scale: 447 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Aller-B, double-check these medication types with your pharmacist. Seizure medications — especially phenytoin (Dilantin) and phenobarbital (Luminal) — interact with high-dose vitamin B6 (Major).

Blood thinners and anticoagulants interact with niacin and may interact with B6 (Moderate). Antidiabetes drugs interact with inositol (Moderate), potentially lowering blood sugar further.

Antihypertensive drugs interact with vitamin B6 (Moderate). Other Moderate interactions include amiodarone (Cordarone), carbamazepine (Tegretol), primidone (Mysoline), and warfarin (Coumadin).

Minor interactions exist with metformin, trimethoprim, levodopa (when taken without carbidopa), and atropine. No interactions are documented for biotin or pantothenic acid in this product.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Aller-B with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Vitamin B65 drug types · 210 drugs

Amiodarone (Cordarone)

Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Phenobarbital (Luminal)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Levodopa

Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Vitamin B6 full monograph & interactions

Niacin4 drug types · 124 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, niacinamide may have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, especially in patients on hemodialysis.
Several cases of thrombocytopenia have been reported for hemodialysis patients treated with niacinamide 1 gram daily. Hemodialysis patients receiving niacinamide had almost a three-fold higher risk of developing thrombocytopenia when compared with those receiving placebo.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Niacinamide might increase the levels and adverse effects of carbamazepine.
Plasma levels of carbamazepine were increased in two children given high-dose niacinamide, 60-80 mg/kg/day. This might be due to inhibition of the cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in carbamazepine metabolism. There is not enough data to determine the clinical significance of this interaction.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Primidone (Mysoline)

Niacinamide might increase the levels and adverse effects of primidone.
Case reports in children suggest niacinamide 60-100 mg/kg/day reduces hepatic metabolism of primidone to phenobarbital, and reduces the overall clearance rate of primidone; however, there is not enough data to determine the clinical significance of this potential interaction.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

There is limited evidence that niacinamide may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin.
In a case report, a patient on warfarin developed an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) of 8.4 after taking niacinamide 500 mg twice daily for 10 days. The patient's INR was previously stable, ranging between 2 and 3, with no other changes to current medications or diet reported. The elevated INR returned to the therapeutic range after receiving vitamin K and discontinuing niacinamide.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Niacin full monograph & interactions

Inositol1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking inositol with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that inositol lowers blood glucose levels and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Inositol full monograph & interactions

Riboflavin1 drug type · 20 drugs

Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, taking riboflavin with tetracycline antibiotics may decrease the potency of these antibiotics.
In vitro research suggests that riboflavin may inhibit the potency of tetracycline antibiotics. It is not clear if this effect is clinically significant, as this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Riboflavin full monograph & interactions

Vitamin B121 drug type · 20 drugs

Metformin (Glucophage)

Metformin, a common medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with lower vitamin B12 levels in some individuals. Prolonged use of metformin can interfere with the absorption of B12 in the digestive system, potentially leading to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Vitamin B12 full monograph & interactions

Choline Bitartrate1 drug type · 16 drugs

Atropine

Theoretically, choline might decrease the effects of atropine in the brain.
Animal research shows that administering choline one hour before administering atropine can attenuate atropine-induced decreases in brain levels of acetylcholine. Theoretically, concomitant use of choline and atropine may decrease the effects of atropine.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Choline Bitartrate full monograph & interactions

Thiamine1 drug type · 3 drugs

Trimethoprim (Proloprim)

Trimethoprim might increase blood levels of thiamine.
In vitro, animal, and clinical research suggest that trimethoprim inhibits intestinal thiamine transporter ThTR-2, hepatic transporter OCT1, and renal transporters OCT2, MATE1, and MATE2, resulting in paradoxically increased thiamine plasma concentrations.

Aller-B by Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Aller-B by Progressive Professional from Progressive Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aller-B has a known interaction with 447 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aller-B contains 11 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Most of the B-vitamins in Aller-B — thiamine, riboflavin, B6, B12, niacin, biotin, and pantothenic acid — are rated Likely Safe or Possibly Safe at recommended amounts during pregnancy and breastfeeding, especially under your doctor's guidance. Inositol is rated Possibly Safe in pregnancy but requires medical supervision. We don't have specific pregnancy or breastfeeding data for folate or PABA in this product. Talk with your doctor or midwife before starting.
What's inositol, and why is it in this product?
Inositol is a nutrient your body makes and gets from food; it plays a role in cell signaling and insulin function. It's possibly effective for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic syndrome. At standard doses it's generally well tolerated, though some people experience mild diarrhea, gas, or nausea.
Does this product have any fillers?
Yes — the inactive ingredients are rice flour, vegetable lubricant, and gelatin (which makes up the capsule). The active ingredients are the 11 vitamins and nutrients listed.
Can I take this if I'm on phenytoin (Dilantin) or phenobarbital for seizures?
Do not start this product without checking with your doctor first. High-dose vitamin B6 in Aller-B can lower blood levels of both phenytoin and phenobarbital, which could reduce how well your seizure medication works. Your doctor may need to monitor your levels or adjust your dose if you take this together.
What if I'm taking a blood thinner like warfarin or aspirin?
The niacin in this product may increase bleeding risk or boost warfarin's effects. Check your exact blood thinner medication with our tool on this page, and talk to your pharmacist before starting Aller-B.
Is vitamin B6 safe in this product?
Vitamin B6 is safe at typical supplement doses for most people, but it can cause nerve damage (sensory neuropathy) at very high daily or lifelong doses. If you're taking seizure medications or blood pressure drugs, you'll need to check first — B6 can interact with those. Otherwise, the amount in a standard multi-B product is generally well tolerated.
