Methylated B12 Folate

Functions of B12 Vitamin B12 supports healthy methylation through its roles in the synthesis of methionine from homocysteine and synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe). As an example of its importance in homocysteine metabolism, one study showed that the addition of B12 to a folate regimen had a greater impact (7%) on homocysteine than did folate alone. Like folate, erythroblasts require vitamin B12 for proliferation during their differentiation. B12 is important for neurological health, and chronic insufficiency can affect the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, the optic nerve, and the brain. Research also supports a role for methylcobalamin supplementation in modulating melatonin secretion, enhancing light sensitivity, normalizing circadian rhythms, and improving sleep-wake cycles.   Support Methylation* Support Nervous System Health* Support Normal Cellular Proliferation (Including Red Blood Cells) 5-MTHF Does Not Contribute to Unmetabolized Folic Acid Accumulation (UMFA)*  5-
