*Reference Intake (RI) for an average adult **No RI established
What does %RI mean?
Reference Intake (RI), also called the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV), is a single general figure for an average adult, set under UK food-labelling rules so products can be compared like for like. It reflects an amount considered enough for the great majority of healthy people rather than a personalised or optimal target, which is why supplement levels are often shown as a high percentage of the RI. Individual needs vary, so use the RI as a guide alongside a varied, balanced diet.
Suggested Use: Take 1 tablet daily, preferably with a meal.
The research behind active B vitamins
Our active ingredients are backed by 200+ published clinical studies, including 135 randomised controlled trials and 29 meta-analyses. We choose every active for the research behind it, not because it is on trend. Here are a few of the studies on the B vitamins and active forms we use.
Memory
Memory scores like people about 4.7 years younger, after 3 years
In the FACIT trial, 818 older adults took 800µg of folic acid every day for 3 years and scored on memory tests like people about 4.7 years younger than their age. Folate only helps if the body can use it, which is why we deliver it as L-5-MTHF (methylfolate), the active form, rather than folic acid. Folate contributes to normal psychological function.
Durga J et al. The Lancet, 2007.
Mood
Better mood reported over a year of supplementation
In a double-blind trial, healthy adults taking a daily vitamin supplement for 12 months reported better mood than those on placebo, measured across the whole group. Mood relies on B vitamins like B6, folate and B12, which we include in their active forms (P5P, methylfolate and methylcobalamin). B6, folate and B12 contribute to normal psychological function.
Benton D et al. Neuropsychobiology, 1995.
Benfotiamine
Benfotiamine is a highly absorbable derivative of thiamine
Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of thiamine (B1) that the body takes up far more easily than the standard thiamine used in most supplements. In a pharmacokinetic study it raised blood thiamine to around 11 times the level from standard thiamine hydrochloride. That superior absorption is why we use it in place of the cheap thiamine salts most supplements rely on.
Pharmacokinetic study, benfotiamine vs thiamine hydrochloride, 2014.
Brain & cognition
B vitamins slowed age-related brain shrinkage by around 30%
In the University of Oxford VITACOG trial, older adults with mild cognitive impairment who took B vitamins (folate, B6 and B12) showed on average around 30% less brain atrophy over two years than those given a placebo, with the greatest benefit in those with raised homocysteine.
Smith AD et al. PLoS ONE, 2010.
MTHFR & methylation
Riboflavin lowered homocysteine in people with the MTHFR variation
Many people carry a common variation in the MTHFR gene that slows how they process folate. In a double-blind trial, riboflavin (vitamin B2) lowered homocysteine in people with this 677TT gene type, by about 22% across the group and by as much as 40% in those who started with lower riboflavin levels. We include riboflavin as its active R5P form. Riboflavin and folate contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism.
McNulty H et al. Circulation, 2006.
Methylation
Folic acid lowered homocysteine by around 23%
A meta-analysis pooling 25 randomised trials found folic acid lowered homocysteine by about 23%. We deliver folate (vitamin B9) as L-5-MTHF (methylfolate), the active form the body uses directly, without the conversion step folic acid needs. Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.

In Oxford University's VITACOG trial, older adults with raised homocysteine took folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 for 2 years and had about 30% less brain shrinkage than those on placebo. Our formula includes the same three B vitamins, folate (B9), B6 and B12, in their active forms (methylfolate, P5P and methylcobalamin). These B vitamins contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism.

Why I started Prime Vitality
Built from lived experience. Backed by better ingredients.
It started with a simple question: why do so many supplements promise the world but leave you feeling exactly the same?
After years of trying generic B-complex products and not feeling a difference, I set out to build a formula using the active, methylated forms of B vitamins your body can actually use.
Every batch is made in Britain to high quality standards, vegan, non-GMO, and designed for real life: one tablet, once a day.
Produced in facilities independently certified to recognised quality and food-safety standards.

What's inside the formula
Targeted ingredients. Purposeful doses.
Benfotiamine
Premium, better-absorbed form.

Riboflavin-5-phosphate is the active, body-ready form of vitamin B2. Riboflavin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the maintenance of normal skin, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Niacinamide (B3)
Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
+
Niacinamide is a gentle, flush-free form of vitamin B3 (niacin). Niacin contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal psychological function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Pantothenic Acid (B5)
Supports mental performance.

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal mental performance, and the normal synthesis of certain hormones and neurotransmitters.
P5P (B6)
Supports hormones and the nervous system.
+
P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) is the active form of vitamin B6. B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal psychological function, the regulation of hormonal activity, and the normal function of the nervous system.
L-5-MTHF Folate (B9)
Supports methylation and energy.
+
L-5-MTHF is the active, body-ready form of folate (vitamin B9). Folate contributes to normal blood formation, normal amino acid synthesis, normal psychological function, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Methylcobalamin (B12)
Supports energy and focus.
+
Methylcobalamin is the active, methylated form of vitamin B12. B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal function of the nervous system, normal red blood cell formation, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Biotin
Supports hair and skin.
+
Biotin (vitamin B7) contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin, normal energy-yielding metabolism, and normal psychological function.
Inositol
A B-vitamin companion nutrient.
+
Inositol is a naturally occurring compound found in the body and in many foods. It's commonly included alongside the B-complex vitamins in premium formulas.
BioPerine® Black Pepper
Patented piperine extract.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers. Real confidence.
Methylated means the vitamins are in their active forms, which are easier for your body to recognise, absorb and use. Some people carry common gene variations that affect how efficiently they make that conversion.
Standard B vitamins
Basic form→Body must convert it→Usable
Prime Vitality
Active, methylated form→Ready to use
Prime Vitality was created from real, lived experience. Every B vitamin is in its fully active, methylated form and made in Britain in GMP-certified facilities. Many brands use basic, non-active forms that your body has to convert before it can use them. We start with the forms your body can use straight away.
Cheaper supplements use non-active, basic forms that cost very little to produce. Prime Vitality uses premium active forms, like benfotiamine, methylcobalamin (B12), L-5-MTHF folate and P5P (B6), which cost more but are already in the state your body can use. You are paying for quality that reaches your cells, not fillers.
That is riboflavin, vitamin B2, and it is completely normal. Riboflavin is a naturally bright yellow-green pigment: its name comes from flavus, the Latin word for yellow. Ours is Riboflavin-5-Phosphate, the active form.
B vitamins are water soluble, so your body uses what it needs and passes the rest out rather than storing it. Riboflavin gives that a vivid yellow tint, usually within a few hours of taking your tablet. Doctors have a name for it, flavinuria, and it is harmless and well documented.
It is expected with any B-complex at a meaningful dose, and it is not a sign that anything is wrong. As with any supplement, if you have another symptom that concerns you, speak to your GP or pharmacist.
Take one tablet daily, ideally with a meal. Morning is a great time, as B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism throughout the day.
