Activated B vitamins are already in their biologically active form, and unlike the more commonly sold non-activated B vitamins, they don't generally require any metabolic or enzymatic conversion before they can be utilised in the body. This means better absorption and improved efficacy. Activated B vitamins are especially helpful for individuals with MTHFR genetic polymorphisms, which interfere with the ability to metabolize dietary folate and folic acid from supplements.
We do not dilute our active B vitamins and make misleading label claims that appear to deliver a high dose of an active B form when in truth offering a blend of active form with the cheaper non-active form. This is common practice from leading brands available on Amazon.
For example, if you see this on the label: Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, pyridoxine HCL) 50mg, this means a blend of active B6 with the cheaper non-active Pyridoxine Hydrochloride.
Another example: Riboflavin (as riboflavin-5-phosphate, vitamin B2) 50mg is actually a blend of active B2 and the cheaper Riboflavin vitamin B2.
Active-B Complex contains the proprietary ingredient Quatrefolic®. Proprietary ingredients may offer superior quality, safety and efficacy compared to generic alternatives and are often supported by human clinical trials.
All ingredients in Active-B Complex are tested by independent certified labs to verify their purity. Additionally, each batch of finished product undergoes extensive analysis and validation, including chemical, physical, heavy metals and microbiological testing.
Focus on the brain
The brain is a very energy-demanding organ, requiring a constant supply of energy to function optimally. The brain uses about 20% of the body's total energy expenditure, even though it makes up only about 2% of the body's weight. This high energy demand is because the brain is constantly active, even during sleep, and requires a constant supply of glucose and oxygen to function properly. In addition, the brain has a high metabolic rate and is rich in nerve cells, which are energy-intensive to maintain.
Homocysteine is an amino acid produced in the body as a byproduct of protein metabolism. High levels of homocysteine in the blood have been linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline and mood disorders. Some research suggests that elevated homocysteine levels may harm the brain because it can lead to inflammation, oxidative stress, and the formation of plaques and tangles in the brain, associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. There is evidence that B vitamins, especially folic acid and vitamin B12, may help lower homocysteine levels and reduce the risk of cognitive decline. These vitamins play a role in homocysteine's metabolism and may help prevent its accumulation in the blood.
B vitamins play a crucial role in the synthesis of essential neurotransmitters, which are vital for communication between neurons in the brain. By facilitating the production of these chemical messengers, B vitamins support memory formation, learning capabilities, and overall cognitive health.
Frequently asked
Although the ingredients in Active-B Complex are generally considered safe and potentially beneficial, it is essential to consult with your doctor before taking any new supplement while pregnant or breastfeeding, especially during the first trimester.
Results are unique to each individual and influenced by factors like diet, lifestyle and genetics. Most people experience benefits within the first few weeks. Consistency is the key. We recommend using Active-B Complex for a minimum of 3 months.
Activated B vitamins are a superior form of B vitamins that are already in their biologically active form and can be immediately utilised by the body. Some people may have difficulty converting B vitamins to their active form, so taking activated forms can be more effective.
