Ingredients explained
Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B-12 serves as a cofactor for enzymes involved in energy metabolism and the formation of red blood cells and myelin, which may support cellular energy and nervous system function.
Caution: Very high %DV may be unnecessary for some; consult a healthcare professional if you have B-12–related conditions or are on medications that affect nutrient absorption.
Folate (as folic acid)
Folate donates methyl groups for DNA synthesis and methylation reactions, which may support cellular renewal and healthy homocysteine metabolism.
Caution: Folic acid can mask signs of low vitamin B-12 status; consistent B-12 intake matters, especially for people with low animal food intake.
How they work together
Vitamin B-12 and folate work together in one-carbon metabolism, where folate provides methyl groups and B-12 helps transfer them to support DNA synthesis and methylation. This pairing also supports the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, connecting nutrient metabolism with cardiovascular-related pathways.

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.
