Pure Encapsulations® B12 Folate – Activated Folate and Vitamin B12 for Nerves, Mental Health, and Blood Formation

Further product information

Pure Encapsulations® B12 Folate combines two important B vitamins in biologically active forms: folate as Metafolin® (L-methylfolate) and vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin.

Both vitamins work closely together in numerous metabolic processes. They contribute to normal psychological function, normal immune system function, and reduced tiredness and fatigue.

The vegan formula is suitable for targeted supplementation of folate and vitamin B12.

Folate and vitamin B12 – Two important B vitamins

Folate (vitamin B9) and vitamin B12 are water-soluble vitamins that perform numerous important functions in the human body.

They work together particularly in homocysteine metabolism and cell division.

Folate contributes to normal amino acid synthesis and normal blood formation.

Vitamin B12 supports normal red blood cell formation, energy metabolism, and nervous system function.

Folate for blood formation and cell division

Folate is important for normal cell division and blood formation.

It also contributes to normal psychological function and reduced tiredness and fatigue.

Adequate folate intake is particularly important during pregnancy, as folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy.

Vitamin B12 for nerves and energy metabolism

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal nervous system function and normal psychological function.

It also supports energy metabolism and the formation of red blood cells.

Since vitamin B12 is found in significant amounts mainly in animal-based foods, reliable supplementation is particularly important for those following a vegan diet.

When might supplementation be beneficial?

Additional folate and vitamin B12 supplementation may be beneficial, particularly in cases of inadequate intake from the diet.

Examples include unbalanced dietary habits, a vegan diet, or certain situations with increased folate requirements.

Vitamin B12 intake may also be impaired in older people or when taking certain medications.

If a deficiency is suspected, appropriate laboratory tests can help assess intake.

Metafolin® and methylcobalamin – Biologically active vitamin forms

Pure Encapsulations® B12 Folate contains:

• Metafolin®: A biologically active form of folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) that can be used directly in folate metabolism.

• Methylcobalamin: A biologically active form of vitamin B12 that is involved in homocysteine metabolism, among other things.

This combination allows for targeted supplementation of both B vitamins in highly available forms.

Important information

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children and store in a cool, dry place.

If a vitamin B12 deficiency has been diagnosed, particularly in cases of neurological symptoms or malabsorption, treatment should be supervised by a doctor.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the dosage should be adjusted according to individual needs and current recommendations.

Note: Metafolin® and methylcobalamin are biologically active vitamin forms. This does not automatically prove that they are generally more clinically effective than all other folate or vitamin B12 compounds.
