Buy B Vitamins – Individually & as a B-Complex

The B vitamins are a group of water-soluble vitamins comprising eight compounds: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folate (B9) and cobalamin (B12). Chemically they are very different, but are traditionally grouped together as the "vitamin B complex". In this category you'll find individual B vitamins as well as complex products from Scheunengut – vegan and lab-tested.

Origin & Extraction

B vitamins occur naturally in wholegrains, pulses, nuts and vegetables. For food supplements they are mostly produced by fermentation or chemical synthesis and are present as defined, pure compounds. Folate and B12 are also available in active forms such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin.

Standardisation & Format

The decisive factor is the declared content of each compound, usually given in milligrams or micrograms per daily dose. B vitamins are available as a capsule, tablet, powder or drops – individually or as a complete B-complex with all eight vitamins. They are often combined with choline or other vitamins & minerals.

Häufige Fragen zu B Vitamins

What are B vitamins good for?

B vitamins are involved in numerous metabolic processes. Several of them contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, as well as to the normal function of the nervous system and normal psychological function. Folate and B12 also support normal red blood cell formation.

Which B vitamins are there?

The group comprises eight compounds: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folate (B9), and cobalamin (B12). Chemically, they're all quite different, but they're traditionally grouped together as the "vitamin B complex." With us, you'll find them both individually and as a combined complex.

What are active forms such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin?

Folate and B12 are also available in their active forms as methylfolate and methylcobalamin. These are already in the form the body can use directly, which is why many people prefer them. If this matters to you, check the stated form when buying.

A single B vitamin or a B complex?

A B complex covers all eight B vitamins together – practical for broad, all-round support. Single nutrients like B12 are worth considering if you want to target a specific need, for example with a fully plant-based diet. Our B vitamins are made in Germany, lab-tested, and vegan, with clearly declared content.
