Active Ingredients 26 Science
The active form of vitamin B-12 in this product is methylcobalamin, a bioavailable variant that the body can use directly without needing conversion. This differs from the more common cyanocobalamin, which must first be converted to become active. Methylcobalamin is especially relevant for nervous system function and the body's energy metabolism. The product also contains folate from Quatrefolic®, a patented and biologically active form of folate that the body can absorb directly. Folate and vitamin B-12 work together in important biochemical processes such as DNA synthesis and homocysteine metabolism, making the combination particularly interesting.
Benefits 26 Uses
- Energy Support: The high dose of B-12 contributes to the body's energy production by participating in the metabolism of fats and proteins – a support for those who feel tired or want to maintain their energy throughout the day.
- Nervous Function: Methylcobalamin is a form of B-12 important for maintaining normal nerve function, which can be particularly relevant for older adults or individuals with high stress levels.
- Convenient Dosage: Dissolvable lozenges make it easy to take the supplement without water, ideal for travel or daily use on the go.
- Vegetarian and Vegan: The product is completely free from animal ingredients, making it suitable for those avoiding animal products in their diet.
- Combined Support: Folate from Quatrefolic® is in a form the body can use directly, which may be beneficial for individuals with genetic variations affecting folate metabolism.
Usage 26 Dosage
The recommended dose is one lozenge daily, taken by allowing it to dissolve under the tongue for optimal absorption through the oral mucosa. It can be taken before, during, or after meals, but for best absorption, avoid taking it simultaneously with strong drinks or large amounts of coffee. The lozenges are easy to carry and can be used as needed, for example during periods of increased focus on energy balance or dietary changes. The product can be combined with other B-vitamin complexes or multivitamins if needed, but it is always advisable to consult a health specialist if uncertain.
Quality 26 Manufacturing
