Active B12 with L-5-MTHF
Active B12 refers to the active, “coenzyme” forms of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Similarly, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is considered an “active” form of folate, the body's most prevalent form of folate in plasma. Together these nutrients are crucial to the formation of healthy red blood cells, energy production, nervous system support, cognitive function, homocysteine regulation, and methylation support. Vitamin B12 can only be obtained from dietary sources and absorption is affected by other factors including stomach acid and intrinsic factor levels, thereby making deficiency fairly common. Dietary sources of B12 include seafood and shellfish, meat and poultry, fish, and dairy products. It can also be found in fortified grains and cereals. Due to its important role in essential processes, correcting B12 deficiency is important and supplementation may be required for individuals who are not able to obtain sufficient amounts in their diets, especially vegetarians and vegans.*
