Overview
In order for the body to utilize B vitamins they need to be converted into their active forms. Active B complex provides a combination of select B-vitamins in their active forms.
Supports
- Nutrients: active B vitamins
- Metabolism: supports normal carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism*
- Red Blood Cells: supports the formation of healthy red blood cells*
Feature Ingredients
- Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient for overall energy. Active B12 is methylcobalamin vs inactive B12 cyanocobalamin.
- Provides the active forms of vitamins B2, B6, folate, and B12 for normal growth and development.
Details
ACTIVE B Complex supports the formation of healthy red blood cells and macronutrient metabolism.
- Each capsule provides the entire B-vitamin family, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, pantothenic acid B6, biotin, folate, and B12.
- Active B Complex uses the preferred active forms of vitamins B2 (riboflavin-5-phosphate), B6 (pyridoxal-5-phosphate), folate (Metafolin®), and B12 (methylcobalamin).
- Metafolin®, a calcium salt of L-methylfolate, may be more bioavailable than folic acid.
- In one study involving healthy women supplemented with 400 mcg of either L-methylfolate or folic acid for 24 weeks, the women receiving the L-methylfolate supplement had higher red blood cell folate concentrations.*
