Ingredients explained
Vitamin B-12 (as Cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B-12 acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in methylation and energy metabolism, helping convert nutrients into cellular energy and supporting red blood cell formation and nerve function.
Caution: Very high %DV may be stimulating for some; take earlier in the day if sensitive to energy changes.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate donates methyl groups in one-carbon metabolism, supporting DNA synthesis and normal red blood cell production.
Caution: Folic acid can mask signs of low vitamin B-12 status; consistent B-12 intake matters, especially for people avoiding animal foods.
How they work together
Vitamin B-12 and folate work together in methylation pathways that help regenerate methionine and support normal red blood cell formation. B-12-dependent enzymes recycle folate into its active form, so having both nutrients can support efficient one‑carbon metabolism.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a physician if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Contains xylitol, which is harmful to pets.
Who should be cautious: People with vitamin B12 or folate sensitivity, or with concerns about high-dose B12 intake, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place after opening.

Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and for the production of energy from fats and proteins. Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells. In addition, adequate intake of vitamin B-12, along with folic acid and vitamin B-6, is critical for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, thereby supporting a healthy cardiovascular system. While B-12 is stored in the liver, dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy). Therefore, supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians.
