What is Simply Nootropics TMG B-Complex and who is it for?
TMG B-Complex combines trimethylglycine (TMG) with a suite of activated B vitamins in a single daily capsule. TMG is a methyl donor – a compound that contributes methyl groups to biochemical reactions involved in DNA synthesis, homocysteine metabolism, and cellular function. The B vitamins in this formula are in their active, coenzyme forms: methylcobalamin rather than cyanocobalamin, 5-MTHF rather than folic acid, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate rather than pyridoxine – forms that don’t require enzymatic conversion before the body can use them.
This makes the formula particularly relevant for people with MTHFR gene variants, which can affect how efficiently the body converts standard B-vitamin forms into their active counterparts. It’s also commonly used alongside NMN supplementation, where adequate methyl donor availability is considered important for supporting methylation pathways. Made in New Zealand with third-party tested ingredients, it’s formulated for adults seeking daily methylation and B-vitamin support.
Fairfield Nutrition Thoughts
Methylation support has become a meaningful conversation in functional health, particularly for people who’ve identified MTHFR variants or are using NAD+ precursors like NMN. The challenge is that standard B-vitamin supplements often use forms that require conversion steps the body may handle less efficiently – which is where a formula built around activated forms makes practical sense.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
The key distinction here is the use of activated B-vitamin forms throughout. Many B-complex supplements use precursor forms – folic acid, cyanocobalamin, pyridoxine – that require enzymatic conversion before the body can use them. For people with common MTHFR variants (estimated to affect a significant portion of the population), this conversion is less efficient. This formula uses 5-MTHF, methylcobalamin, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate: the forms that function directly as cofactors in methylation reactions without requiring those conversion steps.
The TMG dose of 1000mg per serving is consistent with amounts used in research examining homocysteine metabolism and methyl donor availability. Rather than token amounts of each ingredient, the formulation is built around meaningful doses with transparent labelling – no proprietary blends obscuring how much of each ingredient is present.
TMG as a Methyl Donor
Trimethylglycine donates methyl groups through the betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT) pathway, one of two primary routes for homocysteine remethylation. This pathway operates independently of folate and B12, meaning TMG provides methyl donor capacity through a parallel biochemical route. Homocysteine is an intermediate in methionine metabolism; its remethylation back to methionine requires methyl donors, and TMG serves this role directly in liver and kidney tissue.
Activated B Vitamins in Methylation Pathways
5-MTHF (methyltetrahydrofolate) functions as the primary methyl donor in the folate-dependent remethylation pathway, working alongside methylcobalamin (B12) as cofactors in the methionine synthase reaction. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate (active B6) serves as a cofactor in the transsulfuration pathway, where homocysteine is converted to cystathionine and ultimately to cysteine and glutathione. Together, these B vitamins participate in the biochemical network that maintains methionine cycle function.
When to Consider This
This formula provides support for methylation biochemistry and B-vitamin cofactor availability. It makes sense if you’re:
- Someone who has identified an MTHFR gene variant and wants B vitamins in forms that don’t require the conversion steps affected by that variant.
- Currently using NMN or NR supplementation, where methyl donor availability is considered relevant to the broader methylation context.
- In a life stage or situation where you want to focus on homocysteine metabolism as part of a broader cardiovascular wellness approach.
- Looking for a B-complex where you can see exactly what’s in each dose – no proprietary blends, transparent amounts.
Supplement strategy: Many people introduce this alongside or after establishing foundational supplementation (a good multivitamin or basic B-complex). It’s commonly added when someone begins NMN supplementation, or after genetic testing has flagged MTHFR variants as worth addressing through targeted nutrient forms. Typically used as an ongoing daily supplement rather than a short-term protocol.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Pregnant or breastfeeding women without healthcare professional guidance, children, individuals with known sensitivities to any listed ingredients.
How to Use
Take 2 capsules daily, with or without food. Each serving provides 1000mg TMG, 100mg thiamine, 25mg riboflavin, 10mg pyridoxal-5-phosphate, 400mcg 5-MTHF, 100mcg methylcobalamin, and 100mg choline bitartrate.
Simply Nootropics specifically recommends pairing TMG B-Complex with their NMN capsules for those using NMN as part of a methylation-focused supplementation approach, particularly for individuals with MTHFR variants. That said, TMG B-Complex works well as a standalone daily B-vitamin and methyl donor supplement.

Common Questions
How is this different from a standard B-complex?
Most B-complexes use precursor forms like folic acid, cyanocobalamin, and pyridoxine that your body needs to convert before they can function as cofactors. This formula uses the already-active forms – 5-MTHF, methylcobalamin, and P5P – along with 1000mg of TMG, a methyl donor not typically found in standard B-complexes. That combination is the main distinction.
Do I need to have an MTHFR variant to benefit from this?
No. While the activated forms are particularly relevant for people with MTHFR variants, anyone looking for a B-complex with methyl donor support and bioavailable B-vitamin forms may find this useful. MTHFR testing just makes the rationale more specific.
Can I take this alongside my NMN supplement?
Yes – Simply Nootropics specifically formulated this as a companion to NMN supplementation. The combination is commonly used by people focused on methylation pathway support, and the two can be taken together or at different times of day.
Is there a meaningful amount of TMG in each dose?
The 1000mg per serving is consistent with amounts used in published research on TMG and homocysteine metabolism. The full ingredient amounts are disclosed on the label with no proprietary blending, so you can verify the dose directly.

Brand
Simply Nootropics
Simply Nootropics Supplements Australia
Simply Nootropics is a New Zealand-based supplement brand with products available in Australia, focused on cognitive performance, sleep support, and cellular health. Their range is compact by design - four formulas addressing distinct functions, each built around ingredients with a meaningful research profile.
What distinguishes Simply Nootropics is the decision to pair nootropic formulas with longevity-relevant ingredients - specifically nicotinamide riboside (NR), a precursor to NAD+ (a molecule central to cellular energy production that declines with age). The result is a range suited to health-conscious adults who want a small number of well-reasoned products rather than a large catalogue to navigate.
| Product Range | Primary Application |
|---|---|
| Cognitive support | Daily mental performance and focus |
| Sleep support | Evening wind-down and sleep quality |
| Collagen and cellular energy | Skin structure support and NAD+ precursor supplementation |
| B vitamins and TMG | Foundational B-vitamin coverage and metabolic support |
Simply Nootropics is one of the few brands in this space that treats cognitive support and cellular energy as connected priorities rather than separate product categories.
The Simply Nootropics range at Fairfield Nutrition
| Product | Best For | Key Ingredient(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Vital Beauty - Collagen + NR | Skin structure support and cellular energy | Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides (Type I, II, III), nicotinamide riboside (NR) |
| Essentials Plus | Daily cognitive support and mental performance | Ashwagandha, Bacopa monnieri, CDP-choline, L-theanine, Lion's Mane, Panax ginseng |
| TMG B-Complex | Foundational B-vitamin support and metabolic maintenance | Trimethylglycine (TMG), activated B vitamins |
| Genius Sleep | Evening wind-down and sleep quality | Reishi mushroom extract, L-theanine, L-tryptophan |
The starting point depends on the primary gap: Essentials Plus for daily cognitive support, Genius Sleep if sleep quality is the main concern, and TMG B-Complex as a foundational layer for those with higher B-vitamin requirements. Vital Beauty is a powder formula combining hydrolysed collagen with NR - suited for use on its own or alongside the other products in the range.
Why shop Simply Nootropics at Fairfield Nutrition
We don't stock everything - we stock what we'd use. Simply Nootropics products are stocked at Fairfield because they combine well-researched nootropic ingredients with longevity-relevant compounds at doses that reflect the underlying science, not marketing conventions.
The inclusion of nicotinamide riboside (NR) in the Vital Beauty formula reflects a formulation decision that goes beyond standard collagen supplementation. NR supports the cellular energy processes that drive skin cell function and general tissue maintenance - pairing the visible goal with a mechanism that addresses what underlies it. That kind of ingredient logic is consistent with how we select products for the Fairfield range.
Their cognitive stack uses a combination of adaptogens and direct cognitive substrates rather than stimulants - which suits adults who want sustained support rather than a short-term performance boost. Everything ships from Melbourne. No international delays, no customs surprises. If something is out of stock, we tell you.
