Feature Summary
Enhanced B Complex from Bioclinic Naturals provides a one-per-day formula with full-spectrum B vitamins in their most metabolically active forms. B vitamins act as cofactors for essential processes in the body, such as nutrient metabolism, energy production, growth, liver function, and immune support. They also promote red blood cell production, iron metabolism, and healthy skin, hair, and nails. This formula includes active forms of B vitamins, including B12 (methylcobalamin) and B6 (pyridoxal 5′-phosphate), to support nervous system function. Additionally, it offers 50 mg of choline and 400 mcg of folate (Quatrefolic).
Moreover, this formula provides B1, B2, B5, and B6, niacin, as well as biotin and inositol, for comprehensive support. This all-in-one B complex serves as an ideal supplement to enhance metabolism, energy, and overall health.
Quatrefolic, the active form of folate, circulates at the cellular level and crosses the blood-brain barrier. It may be the most effective form for preventing neural tube defects. Unlike other forms of folate, Quatrefolic does not require conversion by the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme, which can have genetic variations. Studies show Quatrefolic boosts (6S)-5-MTHF levels more effectively than both folic acid and calcium 5-MTHF, even in individuals with high-functioning MTHFR polymorphisms.
Methylcobalamin is a cofactor for B12-dependent enzymes with direct biological activity. When combined with other B vitamins, it has demonstrated potential in reducing the risk of macular degeneration and migraines, with efficacy sometimes influenced by MTHFR status.

Drug Interactions
No significant contraindications.
Although several classes of drugs, such as aminoglycosides, anticonvulsants, bile acid sequestrants, and proton pump inhibitors; antihyperglycemic medications (Metformin); and acne therapy (isotretinoin) are known to either interfere with B12 absorption or function, there are no known negative interactions caused by B12 supplementation with any medications.(9–12) Metformin has been shown to deplete B12 and folate, and supplementation with only B12 in diabetics may be preferable.(13) Folate may decrease the effectiveness of phenobarbital, phenytoin, or primidone, when given concurrently; it may also decrease the effectiveness of pyrimethamine.(14) When taken with amiodarone, vitamin B6 may increase photosensitivity. Theoretically, it may have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.(15) Theoretically, inositol may have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.(16) Theoretically, riboflavin may decrease the effectiveness of tetracycline antibiotics.(17) Niacin may decrease the effectiveness of uricosurics, antidiabetics, and thyroid hormone. Theoretically, it may have additive effects with antiocoagulant, antiplatelet, and antihypertensive drugs. When taken with statins, niacin may increase the risk of myopathy, and when taken with hepatotoxic drugs, it may increase the risk of hepatotoxicity.(18)
