B12/ Methyl Folate by Vital Nutrients is a source of vitamin B12 and folic acid in their most bioavailable, methylated forms. The combination of these two essential vitamins can be beneficial for many aspects of health, in particular the nervous and cardiovascular systems.
- Supports nervous system health
- Supports cardiovascular health and may help to maintain healthy levels of homocysteine
- Supports the health of the gastrointestinal tract
- Recommended for pre-conception and pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in unborn babies
- May be beneficial for those who do not consume animal products, older adults or those with compromised digestive systems
- Provides B12 and folate in their most active forms as methylcobalamin and methylfolate (L-5-MTHF)
B12 and folate are important B vitamins, and, although they are found readily in foods, some people may have an increased need for them, and may need to consider supplementation. B12 deficiency can impact the nervous system, and people most at risk of deficiency are those who follow a predominantly plant based diet, older adults and those with compromised digestive systems. Women looking to conceive are recommended to supplement with folic acid up until the end of the first trimester, to reduce the risk of spina bifida in the unborn foetus. Both B vitamins, particularly in their methylated forms, can help to support cardiovascular health, by maintaining already healthy levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease when levels get too high.
Suggested use is 1 capsule, once or twice daily.
