The TrueB Difference
Most vitamin B supplements contain synthetic vitamins made in a laboratory. Vitamins in nature don’t exist in isolation, they are surrounded by nutrient co-factors that help your body use vitamins most optimally.
Synthetic B vitamins do not contain these nutritional co-factors, limiting their value as a supplement. TrueB is different because the B vitamins are sourced from USDA certified organic plants: organic guava fruit, organic holy basil, organic lemon peel and organic sesbania. The B vitamins are surrounded by co-nutrients also found in the plant.
Since vitamin B12 is not available from plants in meaningful amounts, we include the active form of vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) from the MecobalActive™ brand, which is already in the form your body needs so it can be put to use immediately.
MecobalActive™ is vegan, Non-GMO and made in Barcelona, Spain. It has superior absorption and tissue retention properties compared to other vitamin B12 options.
Most supplements contain folic acid, a synthetic form of folate (vitamin B9) found in foods. Folic acid and even some natural folates fail to be converted to active folate (5-methyfolate), which is necessary for it to be biologically useful.
This conversion struggle is especially true in a significant percentage of the population that have a genetic variant – called a polymorphism – that inhibits the ability and activity of an enzyme that’s key to making the conversion to 5-methylfolate.
For this reason, we fortify the folates in TrueB, with Quatrefolic®, the premier source of 5-methylfolate to ensure everyone can benefit and get the active folate needed to support good health.
“Love the Vitamin B complex! TrueB like all of your supplements complements my food intake and lifestyle choices to keep me healthy. Keep up the great products and services.”

Like processed foods, synthetic processed vitamins have been stripped of their wholeness and integrity (i.e. they don’t provide the synergistic co-factors and co-nutrients found in nature).
The Orgen-Bs® blend from USDA certified organic plants offers an alternative – B vitamins that more closely mimic the nutrients you get from food because they are surrounded by co-nutrients also found in the plant. Orgen-Bio® adds additional natural plant sourced biotin to each serving of TrueB.
The B vitamins in Orgen-Bs® and Orgen-Bio® are sourced from USDA certified organic plants: organic guava fruit, organic holy basil, organic lemon peel and organic sesbania. After harvesting, no solvents, synthetics or additives are used in the patent-pending nutrient extraction process.
MecobalActive™ is the premier source of methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12. MecobalActive™ is vegan, Non-GMO and made in Barcelona, Spain using a patented process. It has superior absorption and tissue retention properties compared to other vitamin B12 options.
Also important It offers the lowest levels of impurities, which allows MecobalActive™ to remain stable throughout its shelf life.
MecobalActive™’s sustainable production process avoids negative effects on the environment. Some other methylcobalamin ingredients are produced using volatile chemicals that are environmentally hazardous, like methyl iodide and dimethylsulfate that cause large amounts of air pollution and toxins (but are cheap to make).
In contrast, the patented MecobalActive™ is produced by using dimethyl carbonate, which is environmentally innocuous and non-toxic and creates a harmless biodegradable byproduct.
Quatrefolic® is considered a finished folate, meaning the body can use it immediately. Unlike folic acid and folates, Quatrefolic® is biologically active 5-methyl folate, so it can skip the multiple step conversion process to the 5-metylfolate form, which not all folic acid or folate can make.
What’s more, an estimated 30% to 40% of the population have a genetic variant – called a polymorphism – that inhibits the ability and activity of an enzyme that’s key to making the conversion to 5-methylfolate. With Quatrefolic® in TrueB, this is not a concern because no conversion is necessary.
Quatrefolic® is very pure and consistently high quality – and is not derived from animal sources (vegan safe).
FAQ from
NatureCity Customers
The 8 vitamins making up the vitamin B family work closely together to spark many important body functions. Since the functions of the various B vitamins are so interrelated, it makes sense to take them together as part of a B vitamin complex.
No yeast is in TrueB (the B vitamins aren’t fermented; they are from plants grown in soil).
Quartrefolic® originates from glucosamine hydrochloride derived from fungi. There are no ingredients sourced from animals in TrueB. It is suitable for all dietary preferences, including vegans and vegetarians.
