HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Active B Trio by Klaire Labs
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Active B Trio contains three active ingredients: vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folate. These are all B vitamins that support energy metabolism and nervous system health.
The product also contains inactive ingredients—a vegetarian capsule, microcrystalline cellulose (a binder), L-leucine, and silicon dioxide—to hold the capsule together and aid absorption.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Vitamin B12 in this product is effective for treating B12 deficiency and certain blood disorders like Grasbeck disease, and is likely effective for cyanide poisoning. It's possibly effective for canker sores and a nerve pain condition called postherpetic neuralgia.
Vitamin B6 is effective for sideroblastic anemia and B6 deficiency, and likely effective for high homocysteine levels (a cardiovascular risk marker). It's possibly effective for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.
We don't have effectiveness data on file for folate in this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Vitamin B12 is generally very well tolerated—your body excretes excess amounts in urine, so there's no established upper limit. It's considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding at recommended doses; B12 is actually important at both times.
Serious side effects are rare. Vitamin B6 is safe at normal food and supplement amounts, but high doses taken over time can damage nerves (sensory neuropathy).
It's often used for morning sickness under a doctor's supervision. At recommended levels, B6 is generally well tolerated, though some people report abdominal pain, nausea, headache, or loss of appetite.
We don't have safety data on file for folate in this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start Active B Trio, check with your pharmacist if you take seizure medications (phenobarbital or phenytoin—B6 may reduce their strength), blood pressure medications (B6 may add to their effect), the heart drug amiodarone, levodopa for Parkinson's disease, or metformin for diabetes. These are the drug types where the product's ingredients have documented interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a straightforward B-vitamin supplement—useful if you're deficient in B12, B6, or folate, or if your doctor recommends B vitamins for conditions like anemia or homocysteine levels. If you take metformin, blood pressure drugs, seizure medications, or levodopa, check your exact medications with the tool on this page before starting.
Talk to your pharmacist if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any regular prescriptions.

Active B Trio by Klaire Labs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Active B Trio by Klaire Labs contains three B vitamins, two of which have documented interactions with medications.
Vitamin B12 has a minor interaction with metformin (Glucophage), a diabetes medication—metformin can lower B12 levels over time by interfering with how your body absorbs it in the digestive tract. Vitamin B6 carries more interactions.
It can have moderate effects with blood pressure medications (potentially adding to their blood-pressure-lowering action), amiodarone (a heart rhythm drug—B6 may worsen sun sensitivity), and two seizure medications, phenobarbital and phenytoin (high doses of B6 may reduce their effectiveness by speeding up how your body breaks them down). B6 also has a minor interaction with levodopa for Parkinson's disease, though this doesn't happen if you're taking it with carbidopa.
We could not check folate for interactions—no data is on file for that ingredient. Altogether, these interactions span 227 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Active B Trio with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Vitamin B6
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
Theoretically, vitamin B6 might increase the photosensitivity caused by amiodarone.
Despite initial case reports suggesting that pyridoxine may have a protective effect against amiodarone-induced photosensitivity, preliminary clinical research suggests that pyridoxine may actually exacerbate this adverse effect.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, vitamin B6 may have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Research in hypertensive rats shows that vitamin B6 can decrease systolic blood pressure. Similarly, clinical research in patients with hypertension shows that taking high doses of vitamin B6 may reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, possibly by reducing plasma levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Phenobarbital (Luminal)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenobarbital.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenobarbital, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenobarbital to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
High doses of vitamin B6 may reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Preliminary clinical evidence suggests that vitamin B6 200 mg daily can reduce plasma levels of phenytoin, possibly by increasing metabolism. It is not known whether lower doses have any effect. Advise people taking phenytoin to avoid high doses of vitamin B6.
Levodopa
Vitamin B6 may increase the metabolism of levodopa when taken alone, but not when taken in conjunction with carbidopa.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) enhances the metabolism of levodopa, reducing its clinical effects. However, this interaction does not occur when carbidopa is used concurrently with levodopa (Sinemet). Therefore, it is not likely to be a problem in most people.
Vitamin B12
Metformin (Glucophage)
Metformin, a common medication used to manage type 2 diabetes, has been associated with lower vitamin B12 levels in some individuals. Prolonged use of metformin can interfere with the absorption of B12 in the digestive system, potentially leading to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.
