B-Complex #12 60c by Thorne – Energy Metabolism B-Complex Supplement
Thorne B-Complex #12 capsules provide all eight B vitamins for energy metabolism and everyday cellular function. This formula emphasizes vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin and folate as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, with 600 mcg of B12 and 667 mcg DFE of folate per capsule.
Key B-Complex #12 60c Benefits
- Supports normal cellular energy production by helping the body use carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from food.
- Provides B vitamins involved in maintaining healthy nerves and making the chemical messengers that nerve cells use.
- Supplies folate and B12 for normal red blood cell formation and the DNA production needed for cell renewal.
- Supports methylation, a normal process involved in recycling homocysteine and maintaining everyday cellular function.
How B-Complex #12 60c Works
B vitamins help enzymes perform the chemical steps that turn food into usable energy and build essential cell components. Folate and B12 work together in methylation support, helping recycle homocysteine into methionine, an amino acid used to make proteins and methyl-group donors. Other B vitamins assist energy pathways and the production of nerve-signaling molecules, contributing to nervous system support.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin): Helps maintain normal nerve function and supports red blood cell formation. Methylcobalamin also works with folate to recycle homocysteine into methionine, connecting this vitamin to the formula’s support for methylation and normal cellular activity.
- Folate: Supplies one-carbon units, small building blocks used to make DNA and support normal cell division. The L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate form also works with B12 in homocysteine recycling, linking folate to methylation and the production of healthy red blood cells.
- Vitamin B6: Helps the body process amino acids from dietary protein and make neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers used by nerve cells. It also assists hemoglobin formation and normal homocysteine metabolism, supporting complementary aspects of nerve function and everyday nutrient use.
- Riboflavin: Provides the building blocks for enzyme helpers that transfer energy during the breakdown of food. These helpers support energy production within cells and help other B vitamins carry out their functions, making riboflavin an important partner in a complete B-complex formula.
- Thiamin: Helps enzymes process carbohydrates so their energy can enter the body’s cellular energy pathways. This role supports the ongoing energy needs of tissues, including the nervous system, rather than acting as a stimulant or supplying energy on its own.
B-Complex #12 60c Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking all eight B vitamins in a capsule formula with an emphasis on B12 and methylfolate.
- People working with a healthcare practitioner to support normal nutrient metabolism, methylation, and nerve function.

This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
Frequently Asked Questions About B-Complex #12 60c
What are the benefits of B-Complex #12 60c?
B-Complex #12 provides all eight B vitamins to support normal energy metabolism, nerve function, red blood cell formation, and methylation. Its B12 is methylcobalamin, and its folate is L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. These are nutritional functions, not a promise of increased energy regardless of nutritional status.
Who should take B-Complex #12 60c?
B-Complex #12 is an option for adults whose healthcare practitioner recommends a complete B-vitamin supplement with an emphasis on B12 and folate. Each capsule contains 600 mcg of B12 and 667 mcg DFE of folate. Review other supplements with your practitioner to avoid unnecessary overlap, especially vitamin B6.

If you take methotrexate, have your prescriber confirm whether this particular supplement is appropriate before using it.
How does B-Complex #12 60c support overall health?
B-Complex #12 supplies nutrients that help cells use food for energy and make DNA and nerve-signaling molecules. Folate and B12 also participate in normal methylation, while B6 supports amino acid metabolism. The formula complements dietary B-vitamin intake rather than replacing a varied diet.
