Ingredients explained
Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin)
Methylcobalamin acts as a cofactor in methylation and energy-yielding reactions, supporting red blood cell formation and normal nerve function.
Caution: High-potency B12 is generally well tolerated, but those sensitive to B vitamins may prefer taking with food to minimise stomach discomfort.
Folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate)
L-5-MTHF is the bioactive folate form that donates methyl groups for DNA synthesis and methylation processes involved in cell division and homocysteine metabolism.
Caution: If you use high-dose folate or have specific methylation concerns, consider monitoring total folate intake from diet and supplements.
Niacin (niacinamide)
Niacinamide supports the formation of NAD and NADP, coenzymes that drive cellular energy production and redox reactions.
Caution: Niacinamide typically does not cause flushing, but higher amounts may cause mild digestive upset in some people.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride)
Pyridoxine is converted to PLP, a coenzyme in amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Caution: Large amounts of B6 over time may be associated with nerve-related discomfort, so avoid combining with multiple high-B6 products.
Pantothenic acid (d-calcium pantothenate)
Pantothenic acid forms part of coenzyme A, which is essential for fatty acid metabolism and energy production.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals when taken on an empty stomach.
How they work together
Methylcobalamin and L-5-MTHF provide bioactive methyl donors for methylation pathways, while niacinamide supports NAD/NADP-dependent energy reactions. Vitamin B6 aids amino acid and neurotransmitter metabolism, and pantothenic acid feeds coenzyme A pathways for fat and carbohydrate utilisation.
