Doctor Life / 01

Active B Complex

Made for your daily routine.

Selected vitamins are included in more than one form. Vitamin B6 combines pyridoxine hydrochloride with P-5-P; B2 combines riboflavin with riboflavin 5′-phosphate; folate combines folic acid with L-5-MTHF-Ca; and B12 is provided as methylcobalamin. Not every vitamin is present exclusively in an active form.

B vitamins support energy metabolism and nervous system function, and many help reduce tiredness. One capsule daily provides a simple routine, with 100 days per bottle. Because of the high NRV percentages and nicotinic acid content, consider this product within your full supplement intake.

Active B Complex

Why do B vitamins matter?

B vitamins participate in many metabolic processes. Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, biotin, B12, and pantothenic acid support normal energy metabolism, and several also help reduce tiredness.

Thiamin, niacin, B6, biotin, and B12 support nervous system and psychological function. Folate and B12 contribute to cell division, while choline supports homocysteine and fat metabolism.

Active B Complex

What does research say about Active B?

Research on B vitamin complexes suggests potential benefits for perceived stress and energy in some people. Effects depend on baseline nutritional status, dose, and the preparation studied.

A large meta-analysis did not find that lowering homocysteine with B vitamins improved overall cognitive function. Active B Complex is intended to supplement the diet and support established vitamin functions, without promising better memory or concentration.

Important information

Do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Food supplements should not replace a varied diet. A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are recommended. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication. This product contains niacin, which may cause flushing, especially when taken on an empty stomach. Temporary symptoms may include burning, tingling, irritation, and skin redness. Dizziness or shortness of breath may occur in some cases. Stop using the product if a severe reaction occurs. Store at room temperature, at or below 25°C, out of reach of young children.

Science & sources

Understand the formula.

Research on B vitamin complexes examines fatigue, stress, and cognitive function. These publications studied different formulations and doses, so they do not provide direct evidence of the effects of Active B Complex.

These publications concern the studied ingredients or formulas. They do not all evaluate the finished Doctor Life product, and research results do not guarantee individual outcomes.

01Effects of a high-dose B vitamin complex with vitamin C and minerals on subjective mood and performance in healthy males

David O. Kennedy, Philippa A. Jackson, Crystal F. Haskell et al.

Psychopharmacology (2010), 211(1), 55-68. DOI: 10.1007/s00213-010-1870-3; PMID: 20471567.

In a 33-day placebo-controlled study in healthy men, a vitamin and mineral complex containing high doses of B vitamins was associated with improvements in selected measures of stress, vigor, and task performance. The formula studied was different from Active B.

A review of 18 randomized studies suggested that B vitamin supplementation may benefit perceived stress, particularly in people under greater strain. Findings for depression and anxiety were less conclusive.

03Effects of homocysteine lowering with B vitamins on cognitive aging: meta-analysis of 11 trials with cognitive data on 22,000 individuals

R. Clarke, D. Bennett, S. Parish et al.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2014), 100(2), 657-666. DOI: 10.3945/ajcn.113.076349; PMID: 24965307.

This large meta-analysis found no significant effect of lowering homocysteine with B vitamins on overall cognitive performance. That is an important limitation: high doses of B vitamins do not guarantee improvements in memory or concentration.

Is all the folate methylated?

No. The serving provides 523 µg of folate from a combination of 400 µg of folic acid and L-5-MTHF-Ca. The amount of L-5-MTHF is not listed separately.

How long does a bottle last?

At 1 capsule daily, the 100-capsule bottle provides 100 days of use.

Can I take Active B in the evening?

No specific time of day is required; take the capsule with a meal. If you notice an effect on how you feel or sleep, adjust the timing to suit you.

Can I combine it with other supplements?

When combining it with a multivitamin or another B complex, add up the amounts—particularly B6, niacin, folate, and B12. If you take medication, discuss your routine with your doctor or pharmacist.
