rubyni® Vitamin B Complex from Natural Sources
For our rubyni Vitamin B Complex, we use quinoa sprouts that absorb B vitamins from a nutrient solution during the sprouting process—as well as extracts from garlic, mushrooms (shiitake), and sunflower seeds. Together, these ingredients provide the full spectrum of the eight B vitamins.
The B vitamins contained in this product perform various functions in your body.1,2 For example, certain B vitamins contribute to normal energy metabolism (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B12), to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12), and to the normal functioning of the nervous system (B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, B12).

How much B vitamins do you need?
There are a total of eight different B vitamins. Your body cannot produce them on its own—with the exception of vitamin B3, which it can produce in limitedamounts³ —and, with the exception of vitamin B12, can store them only to a very limited extent.⁴ Therefore, they must be obtained regularly through your diet. A varied diet helps with this: It should include whole grains, seeds, and legumes, as well as a variety of fruits and vegetables. Animal products such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products also provide significant amounts of B vitamins.5
Your body needs varying amounts of the individual B vitamins every day—ranging from micrograms (µg) to milligrams (mg). The German Nutrition Society (DGE) provides estimated values for these. In some cases, these values differ between men and women.6-13
The European Union (EU) deviates from this in some respects with its Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs). These values serve as a guideline in the manufacture of dietary supplements when it comes to labeling vitamins and minerals. The EU’s recommendations apply to both genders.14
Recommended daily intake (some of which are estimates):
| B vitamin | DGE: Women | DGE: Men | EU: NRV |
| Thiamine (B1) (mg)11 | 1,0 | (by age) 1.3-1.1 | 1,1 |
| Riboflavin (B2) (mg)12 | (by age) 1.1-1.0 | (by age) 1.4-1.3 | 1,4 |
| Niacin (mg)13 | (by age) 13-11 | (by age) 16-14 | 16 |
| Vitamin B6 (mg)14 | 1,4 | 1,6 | 1,4 |
| Folic acid (µg)15 | 300 | 300 | 200 |
| Vitamin B12 (µg)8 | 4,0 | 4,0 | 2,5 |
| Biotin (µg)16 | 40 | 40 | 50 |
| Pantothenic acid (mg)17 | 5 | 5 | 6 |
The reference values apply to healthy adults. Individual needs may vary depending on personal circumstances. For example, these needs are often higher for pregnant and/or breastfeeding women.6-13

rubyni® Vitamin B Complex at a Glance
rubyni Vitamin B Complex is a dietary supplement made from several vegan ingredients and contains all eight B vitamins.
Quinoa powder is derived from Chenopodium quinoa seedlings. These are grown in a specially formulated nutrient solution containing B vitamins. During germination, the plant absorbs the nutrients, which are then present in the plant material. A patented process is used in the production.
In addition, our product contains a blend of three different organic extracts from Tamil Nadu in southern India, which naturally contain various B vitamins: Our raw materials include garlic (Allium sativum), sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus), and shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes).
The recipe is rounded out with wheatgrass powder (from Triticum aestivum) grown organically in the EU. We use freshly harvested organic wheatgrass for this.
All raw materials are processed gently.
Why is rubyni® Vitamin B Complex gluten-free?
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), also known as the Inca grain, is a so-called pseudocereal whose seeds are naturally gluten-free. Botanically, quinoa belongs to the goosefoot family, while cereal varieties such as wheat belong to the grass family.15 For our product, we use only the plant’s sprouts.
Although wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a gluten-containing grain, our product is made from wheatgrass. This consists of very young wheat plants that are harvested before the grains form.16
This means that rubyni Vitamin B Complex is gluten-free.
Good to know:
The vitamin B complex performs a variety of functions in the body
Eight vitamins, many functions—the B vitamins perform various tasks in our bodies. They play an important role in metabolism, that is, the biochemical processes that take place in the body. Often, two or more B vitamins are involved in the same processes.5 That is why it makes sense to consider them together.
By the way: There are gaps in the numbering of the B vitamins. This is because some substances that were originally classified as B vitamins are no longer considered vitamins today.
Vitamin B Complex and Energy Metabolism
The B vitamins help the body utilize the energy obtained from food for various processes. Seven of the eight B vitamins—B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, and B12—support normal energy metabolism. In addition, vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12 help reduce tiredness and fatigue.
What role do B vitamins play in the nervous system and mental health?
Selected B vitamins contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system (B1, B2, B3, B6, B7, and B12) and support normal mental function (B1, B3, B6, B7, B9, and B12). In addition, pantothenic acid (B5) contributes to the normal synthesis (i.e., formation) and metabolism of certain neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in the nervous system.
How do B vitamins support blood formation?
Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to the normal formation of red blood cells, while vitamin B2 supports the maintenance of normal red blood cells. These cells, also known as erythrocytes, make up the largest group of blood cells and are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.18 Folate, or folic acid (B9), also contributes to normal blood formation.

EXPERIENCES THAT BUILD TRUST
Tobias Angerer
Cross-country skier
As a former professional athlete and health-conscious person, my physical performance and well-being are extremely important to me. That's why I take rubyni® with elderberries - it's now part of my daily routine. I am convinced of the positive effects of elderberries on my immune system, my energy levels and my fitness, especially during regeneration after periods of exertion.
Andrea Sokol
Phytotherapist | Nutrition and health consultant
I work as a nutrition and health consultant and am a trained phytotherapist. Transparency, sustainability and quality are very important to me. And I have to say that rubyni® has completely won me over as a brand. The capsules contain only extremely high-quality and natural ingredients whose effectiveness has been proven by studies and which provide the body with important nutrients. I have published several videos about my personal rubyni® journey on my YouTube channel Ohlala & Solala. There I tell you even more about what makes this dietary supplement so special from my point of view.
Hanna Kebinger
Biathlete
As a biathlete, I have to be fit and able to perform at the drop of a hat. I had big problems with that in the past. My body was repeatedly weakened and I had to put up with many setbacks. When I was looking for a solution to support my immune system in the long term, my naturopath introduced me to elderberries as a superfood, among other things. I now take rubyni® with elderberries every day. The capsules are also super handy when I'm on the World Cup circuit. Rubyni® is a valuable aid for me during stressful competition phases and my immune system is finally back on top form.
