B-complex with TMG

Not everyone does. But most Norwegian dietary habits provide lower levels of B vitamins than optimal — especially B12 for vegans and older adults, folate for women of childbearing age, and B6 for those under a lot of stress.

B vitamins are water-soluble and are not stored in the body, so daily intake is necessary. If you struggle with fatigue, an afternoon slump, brain fog, or stress symptoms, a B-complex may be a good idea to consider.

Most B vitamins in supplements are synthetic forms — folic acid, cyanocobalamin, pyridoxine — which the body must convert into active forms before it can use them.

We use the active forms directly: 5-MTHF (folate), methylcobalamin (B12), and P-5-P (B6). You skip the conversion step. For those with the MTHFR gene variant — which affects around 40% of the population — this is especially important because they do not convert synthetic forms efficiently.

MTHFR is an enzyme that converts folic acid into the active form 5-MTHF. Around 40% of Norwegians have a variant that makes this less efficient — those who are homozygous (10-15%) face the greatest challenges.

You do not need to get tested to take methylated B vitamins. If you feel better using the active form, that is the clearest sign that your body prefers it.

Days 1-3: The active forms are absorbed directly. Some people notice increased alertness after 2-3 days.

1-2 weeks: Energy becomes more stable throughout the day.

4 weeks: Mood and focus level out. Many people notice less of an afternoon slump.

8-12 weeks: Full methylation support is established. Research shows clear improvements in energy, mood, and cognition after 8 weeks of methylated B vitamins.

TMG (trimethylglycine, also called betaine) is a methyl donor — it supplies the methylation process with methyl groups.

While methylated B vitamins drive methylation, TMG provides extra support especially in the liver — where much of the methylation takes place. The result is that the whole system works more smoothly, and the body handles homocysteine better.

Methylation puts a strain on the liver, and NAC (N-acetylcysteine) and broccoli sprouts are precursors to glutathione — the body’s most important antioxidant.

Broccoli sprouts contain sulforaphane, which research shows supports the liver’s detoxification function. Together with NAC, this protects the cells while methylation is taking place.

1 capsule in the morning — on an empty stomach or with food. Both work. Taking it with food reduces the chance of nausea for sensitive individuals.

Avoid late in the evening. B vitamins can be energizing, and some people experience restless sleep if they take them after 5 p.m.

Most people notice nothing negative. A small number experience mild stomach discomfort, headaches, or more dreams during the first few days.

Headaches can result from rapid methylation activation — especially if you are methyl-sensitive. If it persists after 1 week, pause for 2-3 days and restart gradually.

Yes. B-complex combines well with vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3, and iron.

If you are already taking a multivitamin, check the contents — you should not double up on folate or B12 above the recommended upper limits. Ask us if you are unsure.

Folate (5-MTHF) and B12 are especially important during pregnancy — folate reduces the risk of neural tube defects, and B12 is necessary for the baby's nervous system.

However, we recommend checking with your midwife or GP before starting. Standard pregnancy multivitamins often include folate and B12, so you should avoid doubling up.

B12 is found naturally only in animal products. Vegans are completely dependent on supplements.

Most B12 supplements use cyanocobalamin — a synthetic form that must be converted in the body. We use methylcobalamin directly, which is the biologically active form the body can use immediately. For many vegans who have struggled to maintain their B12 levels, this makes all the difference.

No — 100% vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, soy-free, and nut-free. Broccoli sprouts come from broccoli, but they are not known to be allergenic.

If you have specific allergies, check the full ingredient declaration before use.

90 capsules in each box. 1 capsule daily = 90 days (3 months).

A long supply duration is intentional — the methylation effect builds up over weeks, so it is better to have enough to complete a full course.
