Not everyone handles the absorption of B vitamins well. There is a good portion of people, for instance, who struggle to uptake the essential B vitamin folate, or folic acid. For them, supplementation with a methylated version, like 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, can make a huge difference in overall mental balance. Generally speaking, the methylated form of Vitamin B, like our methylated form of B12 methylcobalamin, is more easily absorbed by the body. Our standout ingredient, Benfotiamine, has clinical research indicating that the bioavailability of thiamine in blood plasma is reported to be approximately 3.5 times greater after a dose of Benfotiamine than after a dose of Thiamine. That is a huge difference in how effective your B vitamin supplement will be, so pay attention to your body and make sure you supplement with B vitamins that are packaged in a way that’s best for your system.

 

BENEFITS OF ACTIVE B VITAMINS

B vitamins help power your body’s critical systems. From mental support in the conversion of neurotransmitters, to energy support, to detoxification of sugar end products, a good B vitamin can make a huge difference in your day. For example, suppose B vitamins boost your mental energy. Instead of surfing your Facebook at work because your brain is too tired to focus on more important tasks, you can actually start working on the long-term project that is going to take your career to the next level. While Alpha Brain can help make you think more clearly, Active B Complete can help give you the energy to actually start thinking, period.

Getting down to business usually means long hours and late nights. B vitamins can help there, too. Research shows that they help reduce work-related stress and support a positive mood. These changes can manifest on a physical level that others will notice as well: B vitamins have been shown to promote skin health, assisting the body to recover itself from pimples, cuts, and sores.
