METHYLCOBALAMIN (Vitamin B12) – Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some
foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement and a prescription medication. Vitamin B12 exists
in several forms and contains the mineral cobalt, so compounds with Vitamin B12 activity are collectively called
cobalamins. Methycobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that is active in human metabolism. Vitamin B12 is
required for proper red blood cell formation, neurological function and DCA synthesis.
PYRIDOXAL 5 PHOSPHATE (Vitamin B6) – Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin and is the generic name for six
compounds (vitamers) with vitamin B6 activity: pyridoxine, an alcohol; Pyridoxal, an aldehyde; and pyridoxamine,
which contains an amino group; and their respective 5’-phosphate esters. Pyridoxal 5’ phosphate (PLP) is an
active coenzyme in the form of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 in coenzyme form performs a wide variety of functions in
the body and is extremely versatile, with involvement in more than 100 enzyme reactions, mostly concerned with
protein metabolism of one-carbon units, carbohydrates, and lipids. Vitamin B6 also plays a role in cognitive
development through the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and in maintaining normal levels of homocysteine, an
amino acid in the blood. Vitamin B6 is involved in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, immune function.
RESVERATROL – Resveratrol, a substance that exists in red wine and a natural plant compound, has antioxidant
and inflammatory properties. Research shows that resveratrol can prevent blood clots and inhibit the growth of
cancer cells; other studies shows it may have a positive impact on longevity. Other studies have showed an
increased blood flow to the brain in people doing cognitive test and improved the efficiency of mitochondria, which
gives cells their energy.
FOLIC ACID (Vitamin B9) – Vitamin B9, also called folate or folic acid, is one of 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help
the body convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. These B vitamins,
often referred to as B complex vitamins, also help the body use fats and protein. B complex vitamins are needed
for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly. Folic acid is the
synthetic form of B9, found in supplements and fortified foods, while folate occurs naturally in foods. All the B
vitamins are water—soluble meaning that the body does not store them. Folic acid is crucial for proper brain
function and plays an important role in mental and emotional health. It aids in the production of DNA and RNA,
the body’s genetic material, and is especially important when cells and tissues are growing rapidly, such as in
infancy, adolescence, and pregnancy. Folic acid also works closely with vitamin B12 to help make red blood cells
and help iron work properly in the body. Vitamin B9 works with vitamins B6 and B12 and other nutrients to control
blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine. High levels of homocysteine are associated with heart disease.
