Ingredients explained
Folate (from 1,000 mcg folic acid)
Folate functions as a methyl donor in one-carbon metabolism, supporting DNA synthesis and methylation and helping convert homocysteine to methionine.
Caution: High intakes may mask signs of low vitamin B12 status; consider monitoring B12 intake if using long term.
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor for methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, supporting red blood cell formation, nerve function and homocysteine remethylation.
Caution: Very high doses may cause acneiform breakouts in some people; take earlier in the day if sensitive to energy effects.
How they work together
Folate and vitamin B12 work together in the methylation cycle, where folate donates methyl groups and B12 enables their transfer to regenerate methionine. This coordinated action supports efficient homocysteine remethylation and normal red blood cell production.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Who should be cautious: People with vitamin B12-related concerns such as pernicious anaemia or those receiving regular blood tests may wish to discuss high-dose B12 with a healthcare provider. Those with a history of folate or B12 sensitivity should use caution. If you are on medications or have ongoing health conditions, consider discussing this supplement with a healthcare provider before use.
