What Makes Brilliant B+ Different
Most B-complexes are “kitchen-sink formulas” with cheap forms and tiny doses. Brilliant B+ is intentionally built around the forms your body actually uses, with a smart trio: active B6 (P5P) + B9 (methylfolate) + B12 (methylcobalamin), supported by vitamin D3 + Magnesium Bisglycinate for absorption and real-world results.
Active B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate / P-5-P) — 20 mg
B6 is a “doer” vitamin, especially for the nervous system. We use P-5-P (the active coenzyme form) rather than standard pyridoxine. P-5-P is the form your body uses in neurotransmitter pathways and neuromuscular support, and it’s the form we prefer when we’re being serious about quality and tolerability.
Folate (L-Methylfolate) — 680 mcg DFE
Folate is foundational for methylation, red blood cell support, and cellular renewal. We chose 5-MTHF (methylfolate), a form that may be especially helpful for people who don’t convert folic acid efficiently (including those with common MTHFR variants). This is a “functional” choice, not a marketing one.*
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) — 1000 mcg
B12 helps power energy, brain function, and healthy red blood cell formation. We use methylcobalamin, a bioidentical form used in human physiology. This pairs naturally with methylfolate in one-carbon metabolism, one reason people often feel the difference with a well-designed formula.*
Many supplements use cyanocobalamin because it’s common and stable, but it’s a form that must be converted into active B12 forms in the body. Methylcobalamin is one of the bioidentical forms used in human physiology. Research summaries from NIH note that multiple supplemental forms exist and that studies have not consistently shown one form is universally “better” for everyone, so our choice is about physiology + pairing (methylcobalamin with methylfolate) and a premium, practitioner-style formulation approach. NIH, NIH(2)
Vitamin D3 — 1000 IU (25 mcg)
Vitamin D isn’t just “a bone vitamin,” it’s an immune and whole-body signal. Many people are low in D3, and B-vitamin insufficiency is commonly seen alongside low D status. We included a practical daily dose, and paired it with magnesium, which plays a key role in vitamin D activation and function.
Magnesium (Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate, buffered) — 260 mg
Magnesium is the “calm and recovery mineral” that many people don’t get enough of. We use Magnesium Bisglycinate, an amino-acid chelate known for being gentle and well-absorbed. Magnesium also supports vitamin D metabolism and complements the nervous-system intent of this formula (stress, mood, neuromuscular function).
The combination of Magnesium, Folate and Vitamins B6 and B12 plays a critical role in brain function and mood. Low levels of Folate and vitamins B are linked to an increased risk of depression.

“Brilliant B Plus is a one of kind formula that my patients really like and notice the results. It helps to support stress, energy, mood and neuromuscular function.” – Aleksander Kanevsky, D.C.
Clean “Other Ingredients”
What we don’t add matters. Our Brilliant B Plus capsules use hypromellose with organic rice hulls, and the formula is made without magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide colors/artificial flavors/preservatives, flow agents, and it is gluten-free.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Who is Brilliant B+ best for?
People who feel “tired but wired,” run under chronic stress, want clean daily energy support, or prefer active-form B vitamins (P-5-P, methylfolate, methylcobalamin) with magnesium + D3 in one formula.*
How do I take it?
Serving size is 2 capsules daily (30 servings per bottle). Many people prefer taking it earlier in the day with food.*
Why are the B vitamins “methylated/active forms”?
Because these are the forms the body uses in key pathways, especially relevant for people who don’t convert certain forms efficiently (like folate).
Why include magnesium and vitamin D together?
Magnesium supports vitamin D metabolism and activation; pairing them is a “synergy” decision, not a label-stuffing decision.
Why can the capsule color vary (pink vs white)?
Capsule color may vary depending on manufacturing. Please read our article Why B12 Capsules Look Pink of White
Can I stack this with other supplements?
Usually yes, but always account for what you’re already taking, especially if you use multiple products that contain B6, folate, or B12.

These vitamins are amazingggggg. I have terrible PMS. For the last 28 years I’ve lost friends and relationships because of it. There has never been a month I didn’t have it and I seriously lose my mind, can hardly function and I’m just barely making it out of the house. I decided to Google it once again to see if there was ANYTHING I could do besides the prescriptions for anti-depressants/anti-anxiety that don’t work and I came across this. I started them about 2 weeks before PMS and I, for real, 100%, swear to God I didn’t get PMS that month. I couldn’t believe it. I thought maybe I counted my days wrong and kept waiting for the ball to drop but IT NEVER HAPPENED. So I’m going on my second month so so hopeful that it wasn’t a fluke. And I like taking them every day after breakfast. I feel like they give my brain a little boost. In all I just feel better and I hope it doesn’t go away! Thank you!

I have been taking B6 + B12 separately for a long time, always causious about the “other ingredients” as some caused stomach pain. I found Brillian B Plus when living in New York a couple of years ago and ordered through Amazon many times (along with Brilliant C+; for myself as well as for the teenage kids). I love the combination with D3 as well as with Magnesium and Folate. The capsule is stomach sensitive so no problem there. Having moved to Europe now I have not found as good of an equivalent; the quality and dosing of the Brilliant B Plus is really great. Start shipping to Europe please!

This is a life saver for me. No more 10/10 pain. I used to have really bad PMS, terrible mood swings and painful cramps, even had me passed out for more than couple times. I’ve consulted my dr. about it and their main suggestion is trying birth control pills, which I don’t wanna do cause I’m scared of side effects and we’re trying to conceive. So I looked for supplements that may help. Found this first at amazon with reviews about PMS relief so I gave it a try. This is the answer to my prayer for real!!!! No more horrible pain for months now.

I was looking for something that would help with my anxiety and moodiness. I wanted B complex and magnesium. This made a huge difference. I’ve been using it for 5+months. I was able to cut down from 4 or t kinds of vitamins to this, fish oil, and probiotic. I did a ton of research on contents that needed to be included for best absorption and compared so many products and reviews. You can quit looking and go with this one!

I was specifically looking for such ingredients combination based on the blood work that was done. And I am happy that I found this brand. This formula contains exactly what I I was looking for : B6 and B12, Folic Acid, Magnesium and Vitamin D as bonus. Contrary to other reviews it is very easy on the stomach and believe me I am very sensitive to many of the supplements, spiciness and many foods that are regular for others.. After start taking these vitamins I can see the energy level improved, better slip, definitely my anxiety level and stress went down. I am very happy with these compliments.

These are very good B supplements and have the right ingredients in them. Don’t hurt my stomach; I do take them when I eat. Will reorder. I have been ordering these for quite awhile and at one point I was having a problem with the safety seals. I am very happy to report that the matter as of today has been resolved! Thank you. Update: May 29, 2019 – The most recent order of these B+ contained some disturbing “capsules” filled with what I can only describe as a “pink capsule inside the outside clear capsule”. I did not find one, I found several. I contacted the company and was instructed to send them the bottle and the capsules, which I did. I was sent 2 bottles in return. However, I found another of these “pink capsules inside the outside capsule” and contacted the seller again, this time with no response. I believe that the company needs to improve their Quality Control as the first problem with the seals seems to have been fixed, but now this to me is worse. I did give the company a reasonable amount of time to respond about the current “pink capsule” and they didn’t.

My child suffers from epilepsy and had rage issues because of an anti-seizure medication he started. We were told it could be due to a vitamin B6 deficiency caused by the anti-seizure medication. Thirty minutes after taking this vitamin, he said he literally felt different/better. He’s been on it for a month now and continues to feel great. Highly recommended.

First B supplement not to give me nausea!
I was told by my neurologist that I was vitamin B deficient. He recommended this particular brand because of the different types of vitamin B it covers and also because of the magnesium because I was having leg cramps at night. My levels are no longer deficient, I never get nauseous or get those gross vitamin B burps with this pill, and the leg cramps have mostly stopped thanks to the magnesium. I do think that this is a little expensive, I wish it was a good $5 cheaper. But without any other options I will continue to purchase it so there you have it!

found out i have several deficiencies in b-vitamins. reviewed using this with my doctor. He said to continue them and i will be using them from now on. The capsules are pretty large so if you have trouble swallowing them, it might be a bit of a challenge but i have no problem with them.

I looked through a lot of B complexes before I found the one with all ingredients I need: vitamins B and D together, Folate!!!!!! and magnesium by Albion. Only buy Albion magnesium. No side effects, feeling great, energy is on the rise.

I have been taking brilliant vitamin B for months and I feel amazing. My energy level is up and when I get sick I’m able to fight it off really fast.

AMAZING! I suffer from severe anxiety and heart palpitations…sometimes so bad I can’t go to sleep at night. So I did a quick search on amazon and found these and I’m so thankful! My routine is to take them before bed..some people say not to take B vitamins before bed but this vitamin is special. I only take one (it’s wise to start off with one and see if that helps and if not then start taking two). I probably had dinner an hour or two prior and I’ll take one vitamin and roll over and go to sleep. This is the best sleep I’ve ever gotten ( a full 8 hours) and I wake up feeling refreshed and not tired. No heart palpitations at all. I believe these will also help with seasonal depression!

It is as described by seller.
