Ingredients explained
Vitamin B-12 (methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin serves as a coenzyme for methylation reactions involved in energy metabolism and nervous system function, including conversion of homocysteine to methionine.
Caution: High-dose B-12 may be stimulating for some; take earlier in the day if sensitive to energy changes.
Folate (as Quatrefolic (6S)-5-MTHF glucosamine salt)
5-MTHF is the active folate form that donates methyl groups for DNA synthesis and methylation processes, supporting homocysteine metabolism.
Caution: If you have a history of folate or B vitamin sensitivity, start with the suggested serving and monitor how you feel.
How they work together
Methylcobalamin and 5-MTHF work in connected methylation pathways where B-12 helps recycle homocysteine to methionine and 5-MTHF provides the methyl group needed for this step. Together they support efficient methylation and cellular energy processes.

Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the production of energy from fats and proteins and is well known for its critical role in DNA synthesis, as well as in homocysteine metabolism. Methylcobalamin is the co-enzyme form of vitamin B-12 that has been found to be especially critical in the maintenance of a healthy nervous system. Dietary sources are almost exclusively of animal origin (meat and dairy) and supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians. NOW® Methyl B-12 is vegetarian/vegan (non-animal derived).
