If you take B12 then you also need a B Complex to balance all the B.

If you take a B Complex you don't have to take a B12 supplement unless your B12 level is really low and there's not much in the B Complex.

How much B12 in your B Complex?

What's your B12 level?

If you're taking 2 x Igennus then the total B12 is 900mcg. That should be enough if your B12 is already at a decent level.
