Ideal for athletes, shift workers and busy active people who want a stimulant-free, once-daily B-vitamin tablet to support energy, stress resilience and nervous system function.
PILLAR Performance ULTRA B ACTIVE is a high-strength daily B-vitamin complex built for athletes and active people who want consistent support rather than a short-lived hit. The big draw here is the use of activated forms of key B vitamins, including mecobalamin B12 and pyridoxal-5-phosphate B6, in a once-daily coated tablet that’s easy to keep in your routine.
For cyclists, runners, gym-goers and anyone balancing training with work or study, this is the kind of supplement that fits neatly into the background and does its job. You’re getting support for energy production, fatigue management, cognitive and nervous system function, plus the reassurance of Informed Sport certification if you race under anti-doping rules. It’s also vegan and free from gluten, dairy, nuts, soy and egg, which makes it a practical option for a wide range of diets.
We’d recommend it most to people who prefer a tablet format over drink mixes and want a clean, everyday micronutrition option to take with food in the morning. If your goal is stimulant-free support that can sit alongside a normal training and nutrition plan, ULTRA B ACTIVE is a tidy, low-fuss choice.

Built around energy production
Supports how your body metabolises carbohydrates, proteins and fats into usable energy for training and everyday life.
Athlete-friendly certification
Informed Sport Certified gives added confidence for competitive athletes who want third-party batch testing for prohibited substances.
Vegan and broad allergen-friendly profile
Suitable for vegan diets and formulated without gluten, dairy, nuts, soy or egg, so it works for a lot of nutrition setups.
Morning-friendly use
Best taken with food in the morning, which makes it easy to stack into breakfast before training, commuting or work.

Use information
Activated vitamin B2, B6 and mecobalamin (B12)
We use activated forms of key B vitamins so your body can put them to work more easily, helping support energy production, nervous system function and day-to-day performance.
Mecobalamin
This active form of vitamin B12 helps support energy levels and healthy nervous system function, with an upper-level 300 mcg dose in each daily serve.
Pyridoxal-5-phosphate
This active form of vitamin B6 is included at 15 mg to support how your body metabolises carbohydrates, proteins and fats for usable energy.
Informed Sport Certified
This certification gives extra confidence for athletes who need a product that has been batch tested for sport.
Great for
Maybe not for
No bike-fit sizing applies here. This product is a 60-tablet / 60-serve jar with a once-daily dose. Best taken with food in the morning. For competitive athletes in Australia, the key compatibility point is its Informed Sport certification and searchable batch certificate system.
vs Blackmores Executive B Stress Formula
A well-known stress-and-energy formula in tablet form with B-group vitamins plus minerals, but it uses a twice-daily dose and is positioned more broadly for lifestyle stress than sport-specific reassurance.
vs Thorne Basic B Complex
A premium B-complex option aimed at shoppers chasing high-quality, tissue-ready B vitamins and broad wellness support.
vs PILLAR Performance TRIPLE MAGNESIUM TABLETS
This sits in the same brand family but solves a different problem. TRIPLE MAGNESIUM is more about magnesium support and recovery, while ULTRA B ACTIVE is the better pick when your focus is energy production and B-vitamin support.
Best for routine users, not quick-fix users
This is the right buy if you want a daily background supplement rather than something you feel like a caffeine gel or pre-workout. It suits customers who value consistency more than an instant kick.
Morning use makes sense
Because the product is intended to support how your body uses food for energy, it makes practical sense to take it with breakfast or your first meal and keep that timing consistent.
Useful for tested athletes
If you race, play club sport or compete under anti-doping rules, the Informed Sport status is one of the strongest reasons to choose this over a generic B-complex from the chemist shelf.
Easy fit for restricted diets
The vegan formula and the fact it’s free from gluten, dairy, nuts, soy and egg make it one of the easier B-vitamin options to recommend when dietary restrictions are part of the buying decision.
