Liquid B Complex vs Liposomal B Complex: Formula Comparison

By BASIC GREENS · Updated October 4, 2026 · Product label comparison

BASIC GREENS offers two distinct B Complex liquids. The red-label Liquid B Complex and burgundy-label Liposomal B Complex each list six B vitamins, with different B1, B2, B6, and B12 amounts.

Quick answer: Liquid B Complex lists 30 mcg methylcobalamin B12 per 1 mL. Liposomal B Complex lists 500 mcg per 1 mL and includes sunflower lecithin. Compare every row of the label instead of treating the two products as the same formula.

Other ingredients

The Liquid B Complex ingredient list shows purified water, glycerin, citric acid, and potassium sorbate. Liposomal B Complex lists these ingredients plus sunflower lecithin.

Sunflower lecithin is a verifiable ingredient difference. Its presence alone does not establish a measured absorption advantage for the finished product. This guide compares label contents and does not rank either formula as clinically superior.

How to identify the right product

  • Check the full product name and current bottle label.
  • Confirm whether B12 is listed at 30 mcg or 500 mcg per serving.
  • Compare B1, B2, and B6 as well as B12.
  • Read the ingredient list for sunflower lecithin.

Both descriptions identify the formulas as vegan and Non-GMO. Both list six B vitamins, so neither label supports assuming all eight B vitamins are present. A higher amount of one vitamin does not make a formula universally more appropriate.

Questions about the two formulas

Are the two B Complex liquids interchangeable?

They share several listed vitamins but differ in amounts and other ingredients. Review the current label and your needs before switching; do not treat them as identical formulas.

Do either contain biotin?

Biotin / B7 is not listed in either displayed Supplement Facts panel. B5 is also not listed.

Is either the 5,000 mcg B12 product?

No. The separate B12 Liquid Drops list 5,000 mcg per 1 mL. These B Complex liquids list 30 mcg or 500 mcg B12 per 1 mL.
