Hydrox-Adeno B12 contains the B vitamins folate and B12 in non-methylated, active forms.†
Hydroxocobalamin is the most stable form of vitamin B12. It appears to circulate longer in the human body than all other forms. ‘Hydroxo’ B12 can easily convert to both ‘adeno’ and ‘methyl’ forms to support healthy methylation and energy production. It also supports the normal detoxification of toxins present in environmental exposures, such as smoke inhalation and other pollutants.†
Adenosylcobalamin is present in the mitochondria of your cells to support energy production. It is used as a coenzyme to create ATP from cholesterol, branched-chain amino acids, odd chain fatty acids, and propionate.†
These methyl-free forms are readily transformed into cobalamin that enters the cell’s cobalamin pool. When needed, cobalamin is pulled from this pool to use in various processes, including methylation.†
Cobalamin plays essential roles in the methylation cycle to support healthy homocysteine breakdown. Cardiovascular and general wellness are dependent on maintaining homocysteine levels in a healthy range.†
Your body needs both vitamin B12 and methylfolate (5-MTHF) to metabolize homocysteine into methionine via the MTR enzyme. From methionine, SAMe is created, your body’s main methyl donor. SAMe donates methyl groups to support your body’s methylation processes, including DNA expression.†
Without adequate B12, your body cannot effectively utilize methylfolate through the MTR enzyme. By consuming Hydrox-Adeno B12, you give your body indirect methylation support without the side effects some people experience from methyl groups.†
Because B12 needs folate to support proper methylation, be sure to pair Hydrox-Adeno B12 with a bioactive form of folate, such as methyl-free Folinic Acid.†
It’s never been easier to get your daily B12. One tasty Hydrox-Adeno B12 lozenge supports optimal vitamin B12 levels without the headache of methyl donors!†
