If your B-complex doesn’t say methylated… your body might not be absorbing it the way you think. ⚡️
Your body has to “activate” most B vitamins before it can use them — and that process is called methylation.
But here’s the catch 👉 Many people have an MTHFR gene variant, which slows down methylation and makes it harder to activate certain B vitamins.
So if you’re taking folic acid or regular B12, your body might not be able to use them efficiently — leaving you feeling tired, anxious, or foggy no matter how many supplements you take.
That’s why methylated B vitamins (like methylcobalamin and methylfolate) are better absorbed — they’re already in their active form and ready to support energy, brain health, and detox pathways.
But remember — supplements aren’t one-size-fits-all.
If you’re taking B vitamins without testing, you’re only guessing.
We look deeper to find why your body isn’t converting or absorbing properly — and once you know that, you can actually start healing. 💚

All vitamin B supplements are not created equally. If your supplement just says B complex and doesn’t mention methylated, you might not be absorbing it the way you think. Your body has to activate most B vitamins before it can use them. And this activation process is called methylation. But here’s the catch. A lot of people may have the gene variant MTHFR gene. And what this does, it slows down this process and makes it difficult for your body to methylate certain vitamins. And if you’re taking folic acid, you’re taking vitamin B12 and you have this gene, your body may not be able to convert it into its active form. That’s why methylated B vitamins like methylcobalamin, methylolate are the better choice. They’re already active and ready to go. Your body can use them immediately for brain health, um energy, and even detox. But here’s the big picture. If you’re just taking B vitamins randomly without doing any testing, you’re never going to figure out why do I feel anxious? Why do I have brain fog? Why am I just feeling low energy? And that’s what we do at Once Raleigh. We test. We do not guess. Cuz once you find the cause of what’s making you off, that’s when true healing can actually begin. [Music]
