Activated B complex (methylated)

Tier 3 — Trending

What it is

A B-complex formula using pre-methylated forms (methylfolate, methylcobalamin, P5P) that bypass the MTHFR enzyme. Clinical benefit is clearest for people with confirmed MTHFR mutations and elevated homocysteine. Most healthy adults absorb standard B vitamins effectively and gain little advantage from the more expensive methylated versions. Avoid late-day dosing.

Time of day & tips

Take in the morning with water and food. Avoid taking in the evening — B vitamins can be energising and may disrupt sleep.
