Vitamin B-Complex

Award-winning: Nourish Awards 2025 ★★★

The gold standard, judged by an independent panel of practising nutrition professionals.

Vitamin B complex from Love Life Supplements gives you the full B group in one capsule a day: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 (biotin), folate and B12, plus inositol and choline. Each tub holds 90 vegan capsules, a three-month supply made in the UK, at about 31p a day. It suits adults who want all their B vitamins covered in one simple daily capsule.

New formula: what changed and why

We rebuilt this formula in 2026 around one idea: the forms your body uses directly, at doses suited to taking every day. It's still one capsule a day.

Better forms

• B12, two active forms: 75µg methylcobalamin plus 75µg adenosylcobalamin, the two forms the body uses. Before, it was 100µg of methylcobalamin alone.
• B2, active form: riboflavin 5'-phosphate instead of plain riboflavin.
• B5, active form added: 25mg D-pantethine, one step closer to coenzyme A, alongside 25mg calcium pantothenate. Before, it was 50mg of calcium pantothenate alone.

Doses for every day

• B6 halved to 25mg. High B6 taken over a long time has been linked to tingling in the hands and feet, so we lowered it. 25mg is still nearly 18 times the daily reference intake.
• Folate 400µg as 5-MTHF, the daily amount most health guidance recommends, down from 667µg.
• B1 25mg and biotin 300µg, still well above the reference intake.

Taken out

• PABA. It isn't a vitamin for people and has no established role in the diet.

B3 (80mg nicotinamide), inositol and choline are unchanged, and folate is still 5-MTHF.

High strength B complex vitamins in active forms

This vitamin B complex supplement uses forms the body can use directly: riboflavin 5'-phosphate (B2), pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (B6), folate as 5-MTHF, and vitamin B12 as both methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin (75µg of each). B5 comes as D-pantethine and calcium pantothenate, with 80mg of B3 as nicotinamide. Each B vitamin is at or above both the UK and EU Reference Intake and the US NIH RDA or Adequate Intake.

What is vitamin B complex good for?

Vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system, and vitamin B5 contributes to normal mental performance. Folate contributes to normal blood formation, biotin to the maintenance of normal hair and skin, and choline to normal lipid metabolism.

B complex capsules, tablets or a multivitamin?

A general multivitamin usually carries its B vitamins close to the Reference Intake, alongside many other nutrients. A dedicated B complex gives the whole B group at higher amounts, so it suits people who already eat well but want their B vitamins covered on their own. Many vitamin B complex tablets use folic acid and cyanocobalamin; this one uses methylated folate and two forms of B12 in an easy-to-swallow capsule.
