FAQs

A: Most multivitamins are built around cost — not conversion.

They use synthetic folic acid and cyanocobalamin (a cheaper B12 form), which require multiple enzymatic conversion steps before the body can use them. For many people — especially those with common MTHFR gene variations — that conversion isn’t efficient. The result? You’re swallowing nutrients your body may not fully activate.

Core Complex uses:

• L-5-MTHF (BioFolate®) — the bioactive, methylated form of folate

• Methylcobalamin (B12) — the active form used directly in cellular metabolism

• Highly absorbable mineral forms (citrates, aspartates, polynicotinate)

• Tocotrienol-based vitamin E (DeltaGold®) — not cheap synthetic dl-alpha tocopherol

This is a metabolically supportive, methylation-conscious multi — not a one-size-fits-all synthetic blend.

In the chemical industry, I learned that the structure of a compound determines how it behaves in the body. Many conventional multis use folic acid (which requires conversion), cyanocobalamin (which contains a cyanide molecule bound to B12), and poorly absorbed oxide minerals.

Core Complex uses:

• Bioactive folate (L-5-MTHF) — the form your body actually uses

• Methylcobalamin B12 — active and ready for cellular energy support

• Citrate and chelated mineral forms for improved absorption

• Tocotrienols (DeltaGold®) instead of standard tocopherol-only vitamin E

A: Core Complex by TheCheekyClean is built with methylation and cellular metabolism in mind.

Methylation is a foundational biochemical process that influences:

• Detoxification pathways

• Hormone metabolism

• Neurotransmitter production

• DNA regulation

• Energy production

Many conventional multivitamins ignore this entirely, using inactive B-vitamin forms that require conversion. Core Complex™ provides methylated, bioactive forms that support these pathways directly — particularly important for individuals with MTHFR polymorphisms or high stress loads.

In addition, it includes:

• DeltaGold® tocotrienols — a more metabolically active fraction of vitamin E

• A standardized phytonutrient blend for antioxidant and cellular resilience support

This isn’t just a “nutrient insurance policy.” It’s foundational biochemical support.

A: Each serving (3 capsules) of Core Complex by TheCheekyClean delivers:

• 800 mcg DFE active folate (L-5-MTHF)

• 200 mcg methylated B12

• 25 mg vitamin B6

• 120 mg vitamin C

• 25 mcg (1,000 IU) vitamin D3

• 30 mg tocotrienol vitamin E complex

• 40 mg magnesium

• 15 mg zinc

• 400 mg proprietary phytonutrient blend

This is a comprehensive daily micronutrient foundation — not under-dosed, not excessive, just purposeful.

A: Yes — Core Complex by TheCheekyClean™ is designed to function as your foundational daily micronutrient base.

It pairs well with:

• Collagen (for structural support)

• Magnesium (if additional is needed for sleep or muscle support)

• Creatine (for cellular energy and muscle resilience)

• Omega-3s

Because this formula uses bioavailable forms, it supports — rather than competes with — other intentional supplementation.

A: If you are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, consult your healthcare provider before use. This formula contains vitamin A (including retinyl acetate), and total daily intake of preformed vitamin A should not exceed 3,000 mcg RAE (10,000 IU) unless directed by a qualified healthcare practitioner.

As always, speak with your provider about what’s appropriate for your individual needs.

A: Take 3 capsules of Core Complex by TheCheekyClean once daily with food.

Most people prefer taking it in the morning with breakfast for consistency and energy support throughout the day. Because it contains activated B vitamins, earlier in the day is generally best.

Consistency matters more than timing — make it part of your daily rhythm.

A: It’s best taken with food to support absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and to minimize the chance of digestive discomfort.

A: Stick to the recommended 3 capsules per day unless directed otherwise by a healthcare practitioner. More isn’t always better — especially with fat-soluble vitamins like A and D.

A: Each bottle contains 30 servings.

At 3 capsules per day, one bottle lasts 30 days (about one month).

If you’re taking it daily — which is the goal — it becomes your consistent micronutrient foundation.

A: No refrigeration needed.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed to maintain freshness and potency.

A: Most large-scale multivitamins are built around the cheapest acceptable nutrient forms. The form, the mineral salt, and even the stereochemistry are chosen based on cost efficiency.

Core Complex by TheCheekyClean™ prioritizes:

• Bioactive methylated B vitamins (not synthetic folic acid or cyanocobalamin)

• Chelated and citrate mineral forms for better absorption

• DeltaGold® tocotrienols, not generic vitamin E blends

• Standardized plant extracts with defined active compounds

This is intentional formulation — not mass-market formulation.

A: Core Complex by TheCheekyClean is manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility and uses branded, research-backed ingredients like BioFolate® and DeltaGold®.

We prioritize documented ingredient specifications, standardized extracts, and pharmaceutical-grade nutrient forms. That means traceable ingredients, quality control testing, and formulation transparency — not just marketing claims.

A: NSF Good Manufacturing Practice certification means products are manufactured in a facility that meets pharmaceutical-grade production standards — with regular inspections, rigorous testing, and quality controls. It's the gold standard in supplement request.

A: Yes. Every batch is independently tested by third-party laboratories to verify ingredient identity, potency, and purity.

A: All pre-orders will take priority and ship as soon as the first production batch is received, estimated 3 weeks. 

A: Yes. You can cancel your pre-order up until it ships. Email us to cancel.
