Lamberts Methyl B Complex 60 Tablets is a vegan food supplement that combines eight B vitamins with inositol and choline in one tablet. It provides folate as calcium-L-methylfolate, vitamin B6 as pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P) and vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, so you can get these named forms of each vitamin from a single daily tablet.

Key Features

• Named forms of folate, B6 and B12: The label states folic acid as calcium-L-methylfolate, vitamin B6 as pyridoxal 5-phosphate and vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin, so you can see exactly which form of each vitamin you are buying.
• All eight B vitamins plus two extras: Each tablet contains thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, biotin and pantothenic acid (B5), along with 30mg of inositol and 30mg of choline.
• Higher-strength amounts: Each tablet provides well above the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) for every B vitamin, for example 300µg of vitamin B12 (12000% NRV) and 12mg of vitamin B6 (857% NRV). The full breakdown is in the Ingredients section.
• Recognised B vitamin functions: Several of the B vitamins in this tablet contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the normal function of the nervous system, normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

What does "methyl" mean in Methyl B Complex?

It refers to the forms of some of the vitamins used. Instead of standard folic acid, the folate comes as calcium-L-methylfolate, a form of folate called methylfolate. Vitamin B12 is included as methylcobalamin, and vitamin B6 as pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P).

Can I take Methyl B Complex if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
