All Eight B Vitamins, in Their Active Forms
B vitamins work as a team, and the form you take matters. Many standard B complexes use basic forms that the body has to convert first. Active B-Complex skips that step. Integrative Therapeutics describes it as "a blend of all 8 B-vitamins, including the active forms of vitamins B2, B6, B12, and folate, for energy support."*
Who I Reach For This With
- Patients who want a full B complex in active forms rather than basic forms
- Anyone looking for everyday B vitamin support for energy
- People who want a B complex free of the top 8 allergens
- Patients whose plan calls for a B complex alongside other nervous-system or adrenal-focused products
What Makes This Form Different
- All 8 B vitamins in one formula, plus choline and inositol
- Riboflavin-5'-phosphate (active B2), pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (active B6), and 1,000 mcg of B12 as methylcobalamin per 2 capsules
- Folate as Quatrefolic brand, 800 mcg DFE per 2 capsules
- Integrative Therapeutics: the active forms "can be directly utilized by the body immediately"*
What Integrative Therapeutics Says It Supports*
- B vitamins in a blend that supports energy*
- Active forms of B2, B6, B12, and folate that can be directly utilized by the body*
- Healthy neurological function*
- Cardiovascular support*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
Active B-Complex is a foundation piece. It pairs naturally with products that support the nervous system or stress response, such as Gabatone Active or Adaptocrine, and with Apex B12 if your practitioner wants a separate B12 on top. It comes in 60 and 120 capsule sizes, so the larger bottle makes sense for long protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why "active" forms?
Active forms are the versions the body uses directly, so they don't need to be converted first. That is the point of this formula.
Is it free of common allergens?
Integrative Therapeutics lists it as free from gluten, wheat, soy, dairy, and artificial colors and flavors, and describes it as free from the top 8 allergens.
Can I take it with other B-containing products?
Check the labels of your other products, since many contain B vitamins too. If you take prescription medication or are unsure, check with your prescribing provider before adding it.
