Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid (5-MTHF)

Highly dosed vitamin B12 with active folic acid

The capsules contain folic acid (with the special, very well bioavailable compound methyltetrahydrofolate) and 3 forms of the important vitamin B12 in highly concentrated form. In addition to the active vitamin form methylcobalamin, the B12 depot form hydroxocobalamin, and a third form, adenosylcobalamin, are included. Rice flour from organic farming serves as the carrier.

Vitamin B12 is one of those vitamins that can be stored by the body, which is why it is advantageous to also take this storage form. With the daily dose of 2 capsules, you take 1000 µg B12 and 400 µg folic acid, which easily covers your daily needs.

Vitamin B12 & folic acid and what they are used for

The vitamin B12 capsules from effective nature complement a vegan lifestyle and provide you with sufficient amounts of vitamin B12, which could be especially interesting for vegans and vegetarians. Because vitamin B12 is predominantly found in animal products.

 

Folic acid is basically needed in all situations of life, but is, for example, especially recommended during or before pregnancy as an additional food supplement, because folic acid increases the maternal folate status.

 

The vitamin B12 and folic acid capsules from effective nature contain three different forms of vitamin B12. While methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin represent the active forms of the vitamin, i.e. can be used directly by the body, hydroxocobalamin has a different function. Hydroxocobalamin is the form in which vitamin B12 is stored in the liver - which is remarkable because most vitamins cannot be stored at all.

Valuable folic acid

Folic acid is water-soluble and belongs to the group of B vitamins. The human body cannot produce folic acid itself and must therefore absorb it through food. In the body, folic acid plays a role in growth processes and has a function in cell division. The water-soluble vitamin also contributes significantly to normal blood formation. In cases of exhaustion or fatigue, folic acid helps to reduce tiredness.

The need for folic acid can basically be covered by a balanced and varied diet. However, at certain stages of life, it makes sense to take additional folic acid. Especially for expectant mothers, or women who want to become pregnant, the intake of this vitamin is recommended. Folic acid is rightly called the pregnancy vitamin because it contributes to the growth of maternal tissue or increases maternal folate status.

Vitamin B12

Like folic acid, vitamin B12 is water-soluble and is also not produced by the body. Vitamin B12 is called the "animal" vitamin because it is found almost exclusively in animal products. People such as vegetarians or vegans who consume few or no animal products should therefore regularly check their vitamin B12 levels and, if necessary, supplement their diet with the help of vitamin B12 capsules. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in various metabolic processes and contributes, for example, to the normal function of the nervous system. In addition, vitamin B12 and folic acid (folate) contribute to normal psychological function, normal immune system function, and reduction of fatigue and tiredness.

Methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin

Vitamin B12 and folic acid capsules from effective nature contain three different forms of vitamin B12 at once. While methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin represent the active forms of the vitamin, i.e. they can be used directly by the body, hydroxocobalamin has a different function. Hydroxocobalamin is the form in which vitamin B12 is stored in the liver - which is remarkable because most vitamins cannot be stored at all.

Recommended use

Take two capsules daily with some water or juice. The recommended intake must not be exceeded.
