Vitamin B12 in its bioactive form (Methylcobalamin) is vital for a multitude of chemical processes in the body, from maintaining nerve and blood cells to helping make DNA. It’s an essential nutrient that we do not produce ourselves. Only found in useable amounts from animal sources, deficiency is common in vegans and vegetarians, as well as older people who tend to absorb less from their diet as they age. ‘B12 Complete’ from Barefoot Nutrition, not only comes with bioactive B12, but also has the two main co-factors: bioactive folic acid (methyl folate) and bioactive biotin (D-Biotin). B12 and folate are directly dependent on each other for completion of the B12-Homocysteine-Methionine cycle, which helps to remove harmful excess homocysteine from the body. B12 is also dependent on biotin to complete the cycle associated with helping the function of our cell “energy houses”, the mitochondria. In the absence of these two co-factors, symptoms of B12 deficiency, such as fatigue and anaemia, can still occur, even in the presence of normal levels of B12. ‘B12 Complete’ is the only supplement with all 3 co-factors to ensure the proper metabolism of B12.
All with the usual Barefoot Nutrition unique combination of no artificial additives, 100% natural pullulan capsules in a glass bottle.
