Nutrisorb Methyl B Vitamins · Biocare | 15 ml

Why we chose this

Most B-complex supplements use synthetic folic acid and cyanocobalamin — forms your body still needs to convert before it can use them. Nutrisorb® Methyl B Complex skips that step entirely, providing methylfolate (5-MTHF) and methylcobalamin — the metabolically active forms found naturally in food. In a liquid you can drop directly under the tongue or mix into water. No capsules. No unnecessary fillers. No allergens.

Methylated forms — and why it matters

Most B-complex supplements use folic acid and cyanocobalamin. These are synthetic precursors that must be converted by the body into their active forms before they can be used. That conversion relies on an enzyme called MTHFR — and a significant proportion of the population carries a genetic variation that reduces this enzyme's activity.

Nutrisorb® Methyl B Complex provides methylfolate (5-MTHF) and methylcobalamin — the biologically active forms your body can use directly, regardless of MTHFR status. Methylfolate is the form of folate found naturally in leafy green vegetables and the dominant form that crosses the blood-brain barrier. Methylcobalamin is the form of B12 most concentrated in neurological tissue.

Who is this formula for?

• Adults who prefer a liquid supplement and want to avoid capsules or tablets.
• People with digestive sensitivities or absorption difficulties who benefit from sublingual or liquid delivery.
• Those who carry an MTHFR gene variant and want to avoid synthetic folic acid.
• Vegans and vegetarians, who have no reliable dietary source of B12.
• Anyone with increased B vitamin demands — such as those managing high homocysteine levels or following a restricted diet.
• People who find standard B-complex supplements hard on the stomach or prefer a minimal-excipient formula.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between methylfolate and folic acid? Folic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B9 that must be converted by the body into its active form — methylfolate (5-MTHF) — before it can be used. This conversion relies on the MTHFR enzyme. Methylfolate is the naturally active form found in food and the dominant form that crosses the blood-brain barrier. This formula provides folate directly as methylfolate, bypassing the need for enzymatic conversion.

What is methylcobalamin, and how does it differ from standard B12? Methylcobalamin is one of the two active coenzyme forms of vitamin B12. Most standard supplements use cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form that the body must convert before it can use it. Methylcobalamin is the form most concentrated in neurological tissue and is directly usable by the body without conversion. Biocare uses methylcobalamin in this formula for precisely this reason.

Who should consider a methylated B-complex? This formula is particularly relevant for people with an MTHFR gene variant, vegans and vegetarians who cannot obtain B12 from diet, those with elevated homocysteine levels, people with digestive sensitivities, and adults who prefer a liquid format. If you have a specific health concern, consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation.

Can I take this under the tongue? Yes. One of the key advantages of a liquid B-complex is the option for sublingual administration — placing the drops directly under the tongue allows the vitamins to be absorbed through the mucous membrane, bypassing the digestive tract. This can be especially useful for people with digestive absorption difficulties. You can also simply add the drops to a glass of water and take with a meal.

Is this product suitable for vegans? Yes. Nutrisorb® Methyl B Complex is fully vegan, as well as free from gluten, dairy and soya. Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin with no reliable plant-based food source, making this formula especially relevant for vegans and vegetarians who want to maintain adequate B12 status.

How long does one bottle last? At the recommended dose of 4 drops per day, one 15 ml bottle provides approximately 56 servings — around eight weeks of daily use.
