Active B12-Folate

High-potency, fast-dissolving tablets.

Active B₁₂-Folate combines the active coenzyme form of vitamin B₁₂, methylcobalamin, with an active form of folate, Metafolin^®* L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. This high-potency, bioactive formula was created to bypass normal absorptive mechanisms for vitamin B₁₂ and folate which may be impaired due to aging, illness, or gastrointestinal surgery. Fast-dissolving tablets allow for quick release into the bloodstream. Vitamin B₁₂ and folate play an integral role in DNA synthesis and thus are essential to cell division and proper functioning of virtually all tissues in the body. Rapidly proliferating cells such as enterocytes, leukocytes, and skin cells are especially dependent upon active forms of these nutrients. Vitamin B₁₂ and folate also participate in methylation and proper metabolism of homocysteine, a potentially toxic metabolite of methionine. Dietary B₁₂ can be reliably obtained only from animal products and is a singularly difficult vitamin to absorb. Folate deficiencies have been reported following bariatric surgery. Active B₁₂-Folate may be especially beneficial for vegetarians and persons with impaired gastrointestinal absorptive function due to aging, illness, or surgery.
