Vitamin B12 and B6 are cofactors the body uses to make dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine, the brain chemicals most involved in mood, focus, and steady energy.
The short version: B12 and B6 do not push energy the way a stimulant does. They help keep the underlying machinery stocked, so the systems a stimulant leans on have what they need.
Stimulants work through dopamine and norepinephrine. Making those neurotransmitters is an enzymatic process, and B6 and B12 are among the cofactors that the process depends on (PMID: 26828517). B6 in particular is involved in producing dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine (PMID: 14584010). When intake runs low, the body has less of what it needs to keep those pathways supplied.
B12 has been studied for its role in cognitive function and mood. A recent paper in Nature found that people with attention challenges had significantly lower levels of B12 than the control group and that lower levels of B12 may contribute to higher symptom expression.
Think of B12 and B6 as support for the parts of the day that feel uneven: the mid-morning sharpness that does not quite carry, the softer energy after the peak. They are not a substitute for the stimulant's effect. They support the systems around it.
Stasis Daytime includes Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin (1000mcg), the active form the body can use without converting it first, and Vitamin B6 (5mg) in a bioavailable form. Both sit alongside saffron and other ingredients aimed at the same mood-and-focus pathways. Every dose is listed on the ingredients page.
In an open-label consumer survey, 95% had a better overall experience with their stimulants when taking Stasis Daytime.†
A multivitamin supports baseline nutrient status broadly. A formula built for stimulant users pairs the B vitamins with ingredients chosen for the dopamine and cortisol patterns that come with daily stimulant use, which is a more precise fit than a general blend.
Why B12 and B6 specifically? Both are cofactors the body uses to make dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and norepinephrine, the chemicals most tied to mood, focus, and energy.
Which form of B12 does Stasis use? Methylcobalamin, the active form, at 1000mcg, so the body can use it directly.
Will B vitamins give me more energy on top of my stimulant? They are not stimulating on their own. They support the systems that produce your neurotransmitters rather than adding another spike.
Do I still need them if I eat well? Diet is the foundation. Supplementation is most relevant when intake or status runs low, which is worth discussing with your healthcare provider.

†These claims are based on a previous version of the Stasis Day formula; the Stasis Night formula has not changed. The data comes from an open-label consumer perception survey conducted between July and September 2024, which included 175 customers who had been using that version for at least 30 days. Participants received a $10 rebate for sharing their feedback. The previous formula included ingredients such as TetraSOD and Sage Extract.
