No study tested this product, or any of its ingredients alone, for fast relief of occasional heartburn. Vitamin B6 is present at 1.5 milligrams, and its findings are mixed. A trial of 351 adults with acid reflux found that a blend of melatonin, vitamin B6 and other nutrients cleared symptoms in everyone after about 40 days, but the effect of vitamin B6 cannot be separated out [1]. One large diet study linked more vitamin B6 to lower odds of one type of reflux [2]. Another linked it to more reflux [3], and a third found no direct link [4]. In a two-week trial, a drink with 2 milligrams of vitamin B6 and other ingredients caused heartburn in 10 of 25 people [5]. Vitamin B12 is present at only 18 micrograms, far below the 1000 micrograms a day that lowered indigestion scores in a small study with no comparison group [6]. Vitamin B12 was also one part of the reflux blend above, so that result cannot be credited to it [1]. Niacin and the 3.8 gram Hyphy Blend have no human studies for this goal, and the contents of the blend are not listed. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Biohacker Summary

Members Only0 of 10 recommend it
0 of 10 biohackers on our panel recommend it

Vitamin B12, the main ingredient, gets mostly favorable views, with about half of the panel recommending it and a few more saying they use it. They take it to protect brain function, mood, energy, nerve coverings, hair color and, with B6 and folate, PMS. Preferred forms are methylcobalamin, including liposomal and micellar types, and one panelist suggests a sublingual form or injections for older people. One wants blood levels around 500, another advises testing first and supplementing only if low, and one warns to avoid B12 too close to bedtime because it enhances light's melatonin-suppressing effects. Niacin is a smaller ingredient in this product, and several recommend it for raising NAD, while one panelist stopped prescribing it after trials showed little benefit.
