Ingredients explained
Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin)
Vitamin B12 acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in methylation and energy metabolism, supporting red blood cell formation and neural function.
Caution: High-dose B12 lozenges may cause mild digestive upset in some people; speak to a healthcare professional if you have B12-related injections or monitoring needs.
Folic acid
Folic acid is reduced to active folates that donate methyl groups for DNA synthesis and methylation processes.
Caution: Folic acid can mask low vitamin B12 status on some blood tests; consistent monitoring of B12 status may be helpful if using folic acid regularly.
How they work together
Vitamin B12 and folic acid work together in one‑carbon metabolism, where B12-dependent enzymes use folate-derived methyl groups to regenerate methionine. This pairing supports efficient methylation and red blood cell production through complementary steps.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking any medicines, or have a medical condition. Natural colour variation may occur.
Who should be cautious: People with vitamin B12- or folate-related concerns, or with a history of sensitivity to soya, may wish to discuss use with a healthcare provider. Those on medications should check for potential interactions with high-dose vitamin B12 or folic acid with a healthcare provider before use.

Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells. In addition, adequate intake of vitamin B-12, along with folic acid and vitamin B-6, is critical for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, thereby supporting a healthy cardiovascular system. While B-12 is stored in the liver, dietary sources are of animal origin only (meat and dairy). Therefore, supplementation with B-12 may be especially important for strict vegetarians.
