What functions does vitamin B12 perform in the body?
Vitamin B12 is an essential micronutrient. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, supports a normal energy-yielding metabolism and contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, psychological function and the immune system. In addition, it contributes to normal red blood cell formation, normal homocysteine metabolism and has a role in the process of cell division.
What distinguishes the three vitamin B12 forms included?
The formulation contains exclusively natural, bioactive vitamin B12 forms. Methylcobalamin supports homocysteine metabolism and is active in the cell plasma. Adenosylcobalamin acts in the mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of the cells. Both forms can be utilised directly by the body.
Hydroxocobalamin is the most common form of vitamin B12 found in foods and in human blood. This form is considered particularly suitable for storage and can be converted into the active forms as required.
Many conventional products use cyanocobalamin, a synthetic compound that must first be converted by the body.
What are the benefits of the active folate form?
The folate used is methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the bioactive form of folic acid that can be utilised directly by the body without conversion. Folate is an essential micronutrient that supports numerous important functions in the body. It contributes to normal blood formation, normal homocysteine metabolism and the normal function of the immune system. It also helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue and plays an essential role in the process of cell division.
Why was lecithin added to the new formulation?
Lecithin is a natural phospholipid that acts as a carrier substance and supports the absorption of fat-soluble micronutrients. It helps ensure an even distribution of the ingredients and promotes efficient nutrient utilisation in the body.
