Key Ingredients & Their Forms

What sets B-Activ apart is its use of methylated and active vitamin forms, ensuring maximum utilization by the body. This is particularly important for individuals with genetic variations that can affect nutrient processing.

• Benfotiamine (B1): A fat-soluble derivative of thiamine that may offer superior bioavailability and support glucose metabolism and cardiovascular function.
• Quatrefolic (5-MTHF): The active form of folate, which bypasses the need for enzymatic conversion—ideal for those with MTHFR mutations. Supports healthy methylation and DNA synthesis.
• All other B vitamins are provided in their coenzyme forms, such as pyridoxal-5-phosphate (B6) and methylcobalamin (B12), for enhanced absorption.

How to Choose the Right B complex

When selecting a B complex supplement, it's important to consider the specific forms of each vitamin and how they align with your health goals. B-Activ is an excellent choice for:

• Active Forms: The methylated vitamins are easier for the body to use, especially if you have a MTHFR gene mutation.
• Targeted Support: With benfotiamine and Quatrefolic, this formula provides focused support for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
• Dietary Restrictions: Certified gluten-free and vegetarian, making it suitable for many special diets.
• Quality Assurance: XYMOGEN is known for evidence-based formulations and rigorous quality control.

What Is B-Activ Activated B Complex?

B-Activ is a scientifically designed B complex supplement that supplies activated forms of all essential B vitamins. Unlike standard B vitamins that must be converted in the body, this formula delivers ready-to-use nutrients including benfotiamine and Quatrefolic (active folate). It is gluten-free, vegetarian, and comes in a bottle of 30 capsules, providing a one-month supply at the recommended serving size.

How to Take B-Activ

Take one capsule daily with food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. To assess tolerance, you may begin with a half capsule for the first few days. Because of its potential energizing effects, it is best taken earlier in the day to avoid interfering with sleep.

Side Effects and Interactions

B vitamins are generally safe and well-tolerated. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects when initiating supplementation. These include:

• Bright yellow urine: Harmless and common due to riboflavin excretion.
• Headache or nausea: May occur with high doses; reducing the intake or splitting the dose may alleviate these effects.
• Drug interactions: B vitamins can interact with certain medications, such as anticonvulsants, chemotherapy agents, and metformin. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use, especially if you are on prescription medications.

If you experience persistent or severe discomfort, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
