A full B-complex claim story at a near-invisible inclusion

The B-vitamins are the foundation of energy, mood and cognitive positioning - and the group where vegan and vegetarian ranges most need a credible natural source.

Folate, B12, Biotin and B6 deliver a broad B-complex claim set at a very small inclusion weight, all plant- and fungi-derived with a recognisable declaration.

Samples are dispatched within a week, with reformulation support included - and at 0.0055 g per portion, the complex drops into an existing formulation without touching taste, texture or process.

Buyer-side answers from our nutrition team

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the questions buyers ask most when specifying a natural B-complex premix.

How much do I need to add?

Very little. The natural variant needs only 0.0055 g per portion for “Source of” claims across all four B vitamins - the lightest blend in the range, which makes it both cost-effective and effectively invisible in a formulation.

Is this a good route to a vegan B12 claim?

Yes. B12 from shiitake mushroom is a natural, plant-friendly source, making this blend a clean way to add the B12 claim to vegan and vegetarian-positioned ranges where it is a recognised category need.

Which formats does it suit?

Functional beverages, supplements, capsules, energy drinks, shakes, snack bars and any product seeking a B-complex positioning. Its very low inclusion weight means it slots into existing recipes without crowding the formulation.

Which EFSA health claims does this blend support?

A broad B-complex claim set under EFSA Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006:

Energy and fatigue: energy-yielding metabolism, reduction of tiredness and fatigue (B12, Biotin, B6, Folate)

Mind and nerves: psychological and nervous-system function (Folate, B12, Biotin, B6)

Blood: red blood cell and blood formation, homocysteine metabolism (B12, B6, Folate)

Skin and hair: maintenance of normal skin, hair and mucous membranes (Biotin)

Metabolic and hormonal: macronutrient, protein and glycogen metabolism, hormonal regulation (Biotin, B6)

The complete list is in the spec sheet and confirmed for your dosage by Eiméar before label sign-off.

Is an organic version available?

Yes - an EU Organic certified variant using organic B6 sources. Wherever possible we prioritise organic sources.

What MOQ and lead times apply?

Premix blends carry a 5 kg MOQ with an approximate 4-week lead time, and a 24-month shelf life. Samples are available on request.
