B-50 Complex vs B-55 Complex?
Sorry--no answer, but glad you asked since I was wondering the same thing. Last week I ordered B-50 but got B-55 in the mail.

I have problems with Bcomplex - my B6 is always too high. Supplement B1 and B12. Watch your labs...

The Vitalady B50 is in capsule form (that's the one I take) and the B55 is horse pill tablets. I sure know the capsule is dissolving in my stomach because I get a niacin flush when I take it. I only take 2 a week now and an extra daily B1 capsule based on my labs.

The 50, 55, 100 ect (whatever # is after the "B" in the complex) is how many mg/mcg or %DV of each B vite are in that particular brand. That's all. I take the B-100 from Costco for this reason, because all my B labs were saggy. They ARE horse pills though, and super hard to swallow, and they dissolve FAST and taste NASTY. This is the only pill I take that I can't take with a bunch of other stuff. I have to take it individually, with some kind of flavored beverage, and I waste a lot of them because if I can't get it down right away, the taste kicks in and I spit it out- blargh! It also has my pee a lovely shade of Mountain Dew yellow (same color as the pill), LOL!
One makes you flush and the other does too? LOL
I dunno, but this is the one vite I have to force down everyday because Niacin flushes suc****ep pushing it down till I get my next labs though because I had so many bags of different B's given to me in the hospital that I feel I must need it. Plus, I am STILL getting cracked mouth cornors occasionally and that is usually a Riboflavin(B2) deficiency.
I sometimes skip a day to get a break from the side effects. It is gross to take. I think the B's in the multivites are what makes them stink and taste bad, because alone in the Tender Complex -55 ...they are gross.

People requested capsules, so I have the B-50. eXCEEPT THE NIACIN IS 75MG AND ABOUT 50% OF PPL WILL FLUSH. tHEY SAY THAT MEANS IT'S WORKING.
(SORRY caps)
The B-55 is fine, just a tablet and ppl didn't like tablets.
Most of us end up on maybe B1 daily, B complex every other day.
