Vitamin B6, B12 and Folic acid.
Description
Each capsule contains: Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6): 10 mg, Folic Acid: 1 mg, Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12): 400 mcg.
Action
Pharmacology: Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) is B vitamin that is required for more than 60 different enzymatic reactions that occur in the body. Vitamin B6 works along with folic acid and Vitamin B12 for in the recycling of homocysteine. Vitamin B6 also supports a healthy cardiovascular system by promoting healthy platelet aggregation and aids in maintaining healthy blood pressure. Vitamin B6 is required for the activation of lysyl oxidase, an enzyme responsible for the cross-linking of collagen and elastin, which is crucial for maintaining normal circulation and arterial function.
Folic Acid: Adequate folate status is critical for maintaining optimal methylation, red blood cell balance, DNA and RNA synthesis and healthy cell division and replication. Folic acid is converted into its metabolically active form, 5-MTHF, by the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (5-MTHFR). 5-MTHF donates its methyl group to Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), forming methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin helps convert the problematic amino acid metabolite homocysteine into the amino acid methionine.
Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) works along with folic acid in many body processes, including the synthesis of DNA, red blood cells and supporting health of the myelin sheath, the insulating exterior that surrounds nerve cells. Vitamin B12 is found primarily in animal foods. Vegetarians and the elderly are at high risk for Vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 is considered by many to be a vital nutrient required to balance homocysteine levels. Methylcobalamin is the biologically active form of Vitamin B12 and supports up-regulation of methylation pathways.
