If you only need one specific B vitamin (often based on a blood test), buy the standalone version instead. Vitamart's Take This is AOR's award-winning B-complex, and one of the most respected B-complex formulas made in Canada. The methylated forms of B12, folate, and B6 mean your body uses them straight away — no conversion step. That matters for the 25-40% of people with the MTHFR gene variation, who don't convert the standard forms well. It's higher-cost than a basic B50, which is fair given what's in it. How AOR Advanced B Complex Compares Advanced B Complex vs Basic B50 / B100 AOR Advanced B Complex (this product): Active methylated forms your body uses directly. Better for people with absorption or methylation issues. Basic B50 / B100: Non-methylated forms. Your body converts them. Lower cost. Fine for general daily support if you don't have methylation issues. Advanced B Complex vs Advanced B Complex Ultra Advanced B Complex (this product): Methylated B vitamins. Standard release. Advanced B Complex Ultra: Methylated B vitamins + niacin + PQQ for brain and mitochondrial support, plus time-release. The upgraded version. Advanced B Complex vs Standalone B12 or B6 Advanced B Complex: All 8 B vitamins in balanced ratios. Standalone B12 or B6: Single vitamin. A fit if you only need one specific B (typically based on a blood test result). Methylated vs Non-Methylated B Vitamins B vitamins come in two main forms in supplements: Non-methylated (lower-cost): Cyanocobalamin (B12), folic acid (folate), pyridoxine HCl (B6). Your body converts these to the active forms before using them. Methylated (active forms): Methylcobalamin, L-5-MTHF, P5P. Already in the form your body uses. No conversion needed. For about 60-75% of the population, the conversion works fine and either form is effective. For 25-40% of people who have MTHFR gene variations, the conversion is significantly less efficient. Methylated forms are the safer bet if you don't know your status. How To Use Adults: Take 1 capsule daily with food, ideally in the morning (B vitamins are energizing, so evening dosing can affect sleep). Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or take medication (especially psychiatric or seizure medications). B vitamins can turn urine bright yellow — this is harmless. Frequently Asked Questions ➕ Why methylated B vitamins? About 25-40% of people have MTHFR gene variations that make it harder to convert non-methylated B vitamins (like folic acid and cyanocobalamin) into the active forms the body uses. Methylated forms skip that step — they're already in the active form. ➕ How is this different from AOR Advanced B Complex Ultra? Both use methylated B vitamins. Ultra adds niacin (the active B3 form), PQQ (a brain and mitochondria nutrient), and time-release technology. Ultra is the more advanced formula. This Advanced B Complex is the original award-winning formula at a lower price. ➕ Should I take it morning or evening? Morning is generally better. B vitamins support energy production, and taking them in the evening can interfere with sleep for some people. ➕ Will my urine turn yellow? Yes, often. This comes from riboflavin (B2). It's harmless and just means your body is processing the B vitamins normally. ➕ Is this vegan? Yes. AOR Advanced B Complex is vegan and vegetarian-friendly. ➕ Can I take this with antidepressants? Methylated B vitamins (especially methylated folate) can interact with certain psychiatric medications. Talk to your healthcare practitioner before starting if you take antidepressants or other psychiatric medications.
