Vitals Vitamin B12 1000 mcg folate 500 mcgVitamin B12 works closely with folate in the body. Therefore, it is important to take these nutrients together in most cases. This product contains 1000 mcg of vitamin B12 in the biologically active forms methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin (also known as dibencozide) and 500 mcg of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). These are the forms in which vitamin B12 and folate are used by the body. In other products, vitamin B12 often appears as cyanocobalamin and folate as folic acid (pteroylmonoglutamic acid). These are synthetic forms that do not occur in nature and must be converted by the body into the biologically active forms. A problem with pteroylmonoglutamic acid is that in a relatively large group of people, the conversion to 5-MTHF is difficult. Therefore, Vitals uses Quatrefolic®, which consists of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate bound to glucosamine salt for stability and superior bioavailability.
