However, by providing methylcobalamin – which doesn’t need to be converted by the body before use – instead of cyanocobalamin, it can much more easily support healthy blood pressure, nerve cell function, carbohydrate metabolism, energy levels, and much more.\u003csup\u003e*†\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMethylfolate vs. Folic Acid\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis active form of folate, like the other bioactive B vitamins in the formula, also requires no conversion by the liver.

By providing this necessary nutrient in the p-5-p form, it doesn’t require conversion by the liver, so it can bypass that step. P-5-P supports serotonin production and mood and nervous system function, and can help relieve the stress associated with premenstrual syndrome. It also supports healthy muscle function – especially for individuals working in tasks requiring repetitive movement.\u003csup\u003e*\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreferred Forms of B vitamins\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eB vitamins support healthy energy levels, blood pressure, carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid production, nerve signal transmission, healthy muscle response and exercise recovery, cognitive function and heart health – and that is not a complete list!\u003csup\u003e*†\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen who are pregnant or nursing absolutely need to get these B vitamins in their regimen to support healthy neural development for their children.\u003csup\u003e*\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActive B Complex \u003c\/strong\u003eprovides vitamin B12, folate and B6 in their active forms – methylcobalamin, methylfolate, and p-5-p.

People using these kinds of drugs must be especially vigilant about making sure they are getting enough B vitamins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\"\u003eHow do you know if a person has difficulty converting B vitamins?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 30% of the population has the genetic profile associated with poor B vitamin conversion. Anyone who wants to know more about their B vitamin conversion status may want to consider having their blood levels of homocysteine tested by a licensed healthcare practitioner. The results may indicate that they need a more efficient form of B vitamin supplementation, which Active B Complex can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong role=\"heading\"\u003eIs Active B Complex safe for women who are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. In fact, it is recommended that women who are pregnant or considering becoming pregnant take folate to prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida in their babies. Additionally, these B vitamins are especially necessary for their own health due to nutrient depletion during and immediately after their pregnancy.*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EuroMedica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53961723019547,"sku":null,"price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4485\/8139\/files\/ActiveBComplex1.webp?v=1789624846","url":"https:\/\/shop.hasanmirzamd.com\/products\/euromedica-active-b-complex","provider":"Hasan Mirza, MD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
