Ingredients explained
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in methylation and energy metabolism, supporting red blood cell formation and normal nerve function.
Caution: Very high-potency B12 may be stimulating for some; take earlier in the day if sensitive to energy changes.
Folate (as 667 mcg DFE from 400 mcg folic acid)
Folate donates methyl groups for DNA synthesis and methylation reactions, supporting cell division and amino acid metabolism.
Caution: Folic acid can mask signs of low vitamin B12 status; consistent B12 intake matters, especially for people who avoid animal products.
How they work together
Vitamin B12 and folate work together in one-carbon metabolism, where B12-dependent enzymes help recycle folate forms needed for DNA synthesis. Together they support methylation processes involved in energy metabolism and red blood cell production.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a physician if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Natural color variation may occur.
Who should be cautious: People with a soy allergy should note the presence of soy lecithin. Those with vitamin B12 or folic acid sensitivities or with blood-related concerns may want to discuss use with a healthcare provider before use.

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.
