B-Vitamin Complex From Whole Foods - Full Spectrum B-Vitamin Complex
A 2016 Nutrients review found brain tissue actively concentrates B vitamins above plasma levels, and that all eight are required together for normal function. This blend gets them from rice bran, bee pollen, and grass-fed liver, in the ratios the foods came in.
For adults who want B vitamins from food rather than a high-dose synthetic stack. 100 or 200 capsules.
- Whole-Food Sourced
- Grass-Fed Liver
- Organic Rice Bran
- Lab Tested
- Pork-Free Capsule
- No Synthetic Vitamins
Why people use it
- B vitamins work as a set. A 2016 review in Nutrients lays out thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid acting as essential coenzymes in mitochondrial energy production, and concludes all eight are needed together for normal function. Unlike many synthetic or fractionated B supplements, these ingredients provide B vitamins in their natural complexes, accompanied by the co-factors and nutrients needed for absorption.
- B12 supports normal red blood cell formation and nervous system function.
- Copper rides along with the liver. Beef liver is the richest common dietary source of copper, the mineral behind ceruloplasmin. Because these ingredients also contain natural minerals such as copper, some users report a sense of improved overall balance and resilience when used consistently.
- Rice bran and bee pollen fill the rest. Published reviews report thiamin and niacin in rice bran, plus gamma-oryzanol and tocotrienols, and a broad B group in bee pollen alongside protein and polyphenols.
- This is a nutrient-density product: three foods, in the ratios they came in, with what each one brings spelled out below.
What's in the capsule (per capsule)
The three foods go in as a blend. Here is what each one brings.
| Ingredient | What it contributes |
|---|---|
| Organic rice bran | Thiamin (B1) and niacin (B3), plus dietary fiber, gamma-oryzanol, and tocotrienols. |
| 100% pure bee pollen powder | B1, B2, B6, biotin, pantothenic acid, niacin, and folate, alongside protein, all eight essential amino acids, and polyphenols. |
| Grass-fed beef liver powder | The B12 in the blend, and the copper and preformed vitamin A that come with liver. NIH lists cooked beef liver at ~70.7 mcg B12 and ~12,400 mcg copper per 3 oz. |
| USP grade pork-free bovine capsule | The shell. Nothing else goes in. |
| Naturally present B-vitamins | B1 Thiamin, B2 Riboflavin, B3 Niacin, B5 Pantothenic Acid, B6 Pyridoxine, B7 Biotin, B9 Folate, B12 Methylcobalamin. |
Reference figures from NIH ODS B12, copper, and vitamin A, plus reviews of rice bran and bee pollen composition.
How to use
- Begin with 1 capsule after your first good meal of the day.
- If tolerated, increase to 1 capsule with breakfast and lunch.
- Some individuals take 1–3 capsules with meals, adjusting to their needs.
- If bee pollen feels overwhelming at first, stay at 1 capsule daily for several weeks before increasing.
- If you also take liver capsules or cod liver oil, count them together.
Sourcing & making
Three lab-tested foods and a capsule shell: organic rice bran, lab-tested and arsenic-free; 100% pure bee pollen powder; and 100% lab-tested grass-fed beef liver powder. Capsules are USP-grade pork-free bovine gelatin.

B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12)
B Vitamins and the Brain: Mechanisms, Dose and Efficacy—A Review
Nutrients · 2016 · mechanistic review
A review documenting that thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid act as essential coenzymes in mitochondrial energy production and that brain tissue actively concentrates B vitamins above plasma levels, concluding that all eight are needed together for normal physiological and neurological function.
Organic rice bran
Rice bran composition review, 2023
Foods · 2023 · mechanistic review
A review of rice bran composition and effects reporting thiamine, niacin, vitamin E, minerals, γ-oryzanol and tocotrienols in the bran fraction, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity shown largely in preclinical models.
Bee pollen
Bee Pollen: Current Status and Therapeutic Potential
Nutrients · 2021 · mechanistic review
A review quantifying bee pollen at roughly 22.7% protein with vitamins, minerals and polyphenols, and summarizing largely preclinical evidence for its antioxidant and immune-modulating activity.
Evidence note: Strong for the role of B vitamins in energy metabolism and nervous system function. This specific whole-food combination (rice bran, bee pollen, liver powder) is described by the composition literature for each food; trials of the blend itself are still to come.
A note on iron
Iron is essential. You need it to carry oxygen and make energy. The catch is that iron only behaves when it is bound and moving. Iron that sits in storage, or circulates unbound, is chemically reactive; it drives the free-radical chemistry researchers call oxidative stress, and elevated ferritin often travels with it.
Moving iron is a copper job. Ceruloplasmin, a copper-dependent enzyme, oxidizes iron so it can leave cells and be used. Without enough copper, that enzyme stalls and so does iron traffic. Retinol, real vitamin A, sits in the same system: low vitamin A status changes how the body handles iron.
That is why we build around whole-food copper, retinol, and magnesium instead of pushing more iron. Magnesium is there for its own reasons; the evidence tying it to iron directly is thin.
If you are thinking about iron, test first. Ferritin, serum iron, and saturation, read by your practitioner with your history in front of them. Iron is not right for everyone.

FAQ
What can I use it for?
B vitamins are essential for many processes in the body, including energy metabolism, cellular support, and overall vitality. Customers often choose this product for daily wellness, particularly to help support balanced energy throughout the day.
How much of each B vitamin is in a capsule?
The three foods go in as a blend, and the table above shows what each one brings: thiamin and niacin from rice bran, a broad B group from bee pollen, and B12 with copper and preformed vitamin A from grass-fed liver. These are B vitamins in their natural complexes, with the cofactors that came with them.
Why food-sourced B12 instead of a synthetic form?
For what comes with it. NIH finds absorption similar across cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin and the other forms, so the case for liver isn't the B12 molecule; it's the copper, the preformed vitamin A, and the rest of the nutrient set liver carries into the same capsule. That's nose-to-tail nutrition in a capsule instead of four bottles.
Why three foods instead of one?
Each covers different ground. Rice bran leads on thiamin and niacin, bee pollen carries a broad B group with protein and polyphenols, and liver is the only real B12 source of the three, plus the copper and retinol.
Does the liver content matter for vitamin A?
Count everything liver-containing together.
What do customers mention most?
Customer feedback highlights a natural boost in energy and focus, support for a balanced gut environment, and a sense of improved mood and calmness. Some people feel a noticeable lift in the first week. If that's more than you want, drop back to one capsule with a full meal and build slowly.
