Functions and Benefits of Vitamin B12

While there are certain varieties of bacteria in the gut which can synthesize Vitamin B12 in small quantities, the human body is generally incapable of producing enough of this essential nutrient to keep the body functioning healthily. Vitamin B12 deficiencies are a leading cause of weakness and fatigue, so many who experience these feelings regularly turn to B12 supplementation as a nutritional means of boosting energy and focus levels throughout the day. Vitamin B12 also plays a number of critically important roles in a variety of bodily systems and functions including red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.¹

Vitamin B12 and Folate

Not only does Genestra Active Chew B12 contain a highly bioavailable dose of Vitamin B12 in its most active form (methylcobalamin), it also features Folate which is the most active form of Folic Acid, also known as Vitamin B9.

Folate and B12 have a uniquely synergistic relationship in the human body. In particular, they are both required for the conversion of potentially harmful amino acids known as homocysteine into a compound known as methionine, a fellow amino which is supportive of healthy blood flow.² Neither B complex vitamin is capable of this process alone, so in the event of a possible homocysteine overload it is important to find a supplement which contains both nutrients. This powerful synergistic combination gives Genestra Active Chew B12 a great deal of potential for cardiovascular support.
