Methyl Donors
Methylation is essentially the transfer of a methyl group onto proteins, amino acids, enzymes, and DNA. This biochemical process occurs in every cell of our body and is essential for energy formation. Various B vitamins play a crucial role in methylation. Additionally, so-called methyl donors hold an important function within this energy-forming process. The nutrients choline, L-taurine, and trimethylglycine added to this formula fall under the category of methyl donors, thereby providing a supportive role for the function of other B vitamins.

High doses of B vitamins
B1 (Thiamine HCl)
We cannot produce vitamin B1 in its well-absorbable form, thiamine, ourselves, and therefore we obtain this water-soluble vitamin solely through diet or supplementation. Thiamine in the form of hydrochloride (HCl) means that the nutrient is pure.

B2 (Riboflavin-5-phosphate)
The biologically active form of riboflavin is known as riboflavin-5-phosphate. This form is immediately available to the body and requires no further biochemical processes.

B3 (Niacinamide)
Niacinamide is the flush-free variant of vitamin B3, the form without side effects and directly available to the body.

B5 (Calcium pantothenate)
The well-absorbable pantothenate is an essential B vitamin in its most natural form.

Vitamin B6 (P-5-P) the safest form
Two forms are used in supplements, pyridoxine HCL and the biologically active form pyridoxal-5-phosphate (P-5-P). So far, no side effects have been reported from the use of pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Research from Maastricht University even shows that neuropathy from high doses of B6 is entirely attributable to pyridoxine HCl. Therefore, B-Complex Active is an extremely safe choice!

B11 (Quatrefolic: 5-MTHF glucosamine salt)
The biologically available variant of folic acid (see Quatrefolic box for more information).

B12 (Methylcobalamin/Adenosylcobalamin)
The B-Complex Active contains two biologically available forms of vitamin B12. B12 in the form of methylcobalamin has the supportive property of making stacked folate available to the body. The combination of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin in a 50:50 ratio.

Choline, Inositol & PABA
Were once considered B vitamins. This proved to be an incorrect assumption, yet the nutrients are methyl donors, thus playing a supportive role in our energy production (see Methylation box for more information).

- Vitamin B1 is good for: heart, nervous system, mood, learning performance, concentration, memory, and energy metabolism.
- Vitamin B2 is important for: nervous system, mucous membranes, iron regulation, skin, vision, and energy-yielding metabolism.
- Vitamin B3 is good for: skin, mood, learning performance, concentration, memory, mucous membranes, nervous system, and energy metabolism.
- Vitamin B5 contributes to: reducing tiredness and fatigue, normal resistance to stress, mental exertion/pressure, and energy-yielding metabolism.
- Vitamin B6 is good for: cysteine production, homocysteine metabolism, protein/glycogen metabolism, mood, learning performance, concentration, memory, and nervous system.
- Vitamin B8 contributes to: normal hair growth, healthy skin, normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
- Folate contributes to: extra energy in case of tiredness/fatigue, brain and nerve functions involved in learning ability, normal functioning of the immune system, cell and tissue production, formation of red and white blood cells, and normal amino acid synthesis.
- Vitamin B12 is good for: cell division process, tiredness and fatigue, energy metabolism, formation of red blood cells, and nervous system.
- Betaine contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
