Folate and vitamin B12 are interrelated in function. They are vital to the processing of nutrients and are both required by the enzyme that produces methionine. They are also critical for maintaining red blood cell homeostasis, as they contribute to red blood cell formation. At the molecular level, the main function of folate is to donate methyl groups in key biochemical reactions. Adequate folate status is particularly critical for proper neural and cellular development of the fetal central nervous system. Folate promotes healthy cellular differentiation during the formation of the brain and spinal cord, aiding in reducing the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily before conception and during early gestation. Folate is provided in this formula as Metafolin, the universally processed form of folate. Metafolin is chemically identical to the active folate compound, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). L-5-MTHF is the predominant, naturally occurring form of folate in food. By bypassing several enzymatic activation steps, it is directly usable by the body and provides all of the benefits of folic acid regardless of functional or genetic variations. The B12 in this formula is provided as methylcobalamin, the most bioavailable form of this vitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with the highly bioavailable form of vitamin B12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes nutrient metabolism and red blood cell formation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAids in reducing the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily before conception and during early gestation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pure Encapsulations","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50993227006247,"sku":"B12C-C","price":34.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0845\/5693\/9559\/files\/Image33.jpg?v=1769806178","url":"https:\/\/www.thevitaminstore.ca\/products\/pure-encapsulations-b12-folate-60-veggie-caps","provider":"The Vitamin Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
