An ultra-absorbable vitamin B supplement with all 8 B vitamins in a single daily capsule.

  • Contains all 8 B vitamins (not derived from yeast)
  • Helps convert food into energy*
  • Supports the body's use of nutrients from food*
  • Uses active forms like methylcobalamin and L-5-MTHF folate
  • Supports the metabolism of protein and fat*

Thorne Research Basic B-Complex


The B vitamins are a family of eight, and they all happen to be water-soluble. That matters more than it sounds. Because the body doesn't hold onto water-soluble vitamins, you have to keep topping them up through food or a supplement. Thorne Research Basic B-Complex puts all eight in a single capsule, using forms the body can readily use.*


What's actually in each capsule


This isn't a stripped-down B12 tablet. It's a full complex, and Thorne uses active or pre-converted forms of several of the vitamins rather than the cheapest available raw material. A few of the standouts:




  • Vitamin B1 (thiamin) and B2 (riboflavin 5'-phosphate) both help your body turn the nutrients in food into usable energy.*


  • Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) takes part in cellular signaling and supports DNA production and repair.*


  • Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) supports energy metabolism.*


  • Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) helps your body make red blood cells.*


  • Vitamin B9 (folate, as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) supports cell division and the formation of new cells, which is part of why it gets attention during pregnancy.*


  • Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) takes part in red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis.*


Biotin (B7) rounds out the eight and is a familiar name for anyone reading hair, skin, and nail labels.* The folate here is the L-5-MTHF form rather than synthetic folic acid, which is a deliberate choice on Thorne's part.


Why a complex instead of single B vitamins


You can buy each B vitamin on its own, and sometimes that's the right move if a clinician has flagged a specific gap. For most people, though, the B vitamins work as a group, and taking them together is simpler than juggling eight bottles. This formula is also not derived from yeast, which is worth knowing if yeast-based supplements don't sit well with you.


Who tends to reach for it


People who eat a limited diet, follow a plant-forward eating pattern, or just want a daily nutritional baseline often keep a B-complex on the shelf. One honest caveat: a supplement can't tell you whether you're actually low in any of these. If you're unsure, a quick conversation with a clinician beats guessing.

FAQs About Thorne Research Basic B-Complex Capsules

Q: How many capsules are in a bottle and how do I take it? A: Each bottle holds 60 capsules. The suggested use is 1 capsule one to three times daily, or as directed by your health professional.*

Q: What forms of the B vitamins does Thorne use? A: Thorne Basic B-Complex uses active or pre-converted forms for several of the eight, including methylcobalamin for B12 and L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) for folate, rather than synthetic folic acid.*

Q: Is this B-complex derived from yeast? A: No. This formula contains all 8 B vitamins and is not derived from yeast, which can matter if yeast-based supplements don't agree with you.

Q: Why take a full B-complex instead of a single B vitamin? A: The B vitamins generally work as a group, so a complex keeps things simple. A single B vitamin makes more sense when a clinician has identified a specific gap. If you're not sure which fits, our Wellness Consultants are happy to help.*

Q: Is it free of common allergens? A: The label marks it as dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free. As always, check the full ingredient list if you have a known sensitivity.
