What is Pure Nutrition Methyl B12?
Pure Nutrition Methyl B12 is a smart answer to the body's vitamin B12 needs by delivering a superior methyl form of cobalamin (vitamin B12). Many vitamin B12 supplements rely on cyanocobalamin, which must be converted to methylcobalamin before it can be absorbed into the body.
Overall, vitamin B12 is the most complex vitamin. Of all the B vitamins, vitamin B12 is the most important for maintaining proper levels of homocysteine and neurotransmitters (chemical messengers).
Many foods contain vitamin B12, but only a small portion of this micronutrient is absorbed by the human body and over time this can lead to a deficiency. In these cases, taking Pure Nutrition Methyl B12 helps to cover the body's daily needs for vitamin B12, in combination with a balanced diet including vegetables and fruits.
Benefits of Methyl B12
The benefits of taking Pure Nutrition Methyl B12 include:
- Supporting homocysteine metabolism and cardiovascular function;
- Boosting energy levels;
- Improving cognitive abilities and mood;
- Promoting healthy DNA function;
- Increasing amino acid metabolism.
Vitamin B12 is an extremely important micronutrient. Humans do not produce this vitamin endogenously and must obtain it through food and/or supplements.
In combination with other B vitamins, especially folate, methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) supports cardiovascular function and normal blood pressure by regulating homocysteine metabolism. Although homocysteine is needed for a number of biological functions, its excess in the blood is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and inflammatory conditions. 1
This is where vitamin B12 comes in, helping to transform homocysteine into methionine, an essential amino acid. In this process, folate plays the role of a methylating vitamin, and vitamin B12 binds to specific enzymes that convert homocysteine into methionine.
Vitamin B12 is involved in many other physiological processes as a cofactor (the non-protein part of enzymes that helps with biological conversions) for many enzymes. For example, vitamin B1 supports neurotransmitter synthesis and amino acid metabolism.
This is why sufficient intake of vitamin B12 is necessary for nervous system health and muscle building.
Why use Pure Nutrition Methyl B12?
Vitamin B12 is a basic micronutrient that is the basis of cardiovascular and nervous system health and is indispensable in the regeneration of methionine from homocysteine. Taking Methyl B12 supports a number of biological processes important for human health and good shape.
It is important to note that according to a recent study, 80% of people on a plant-based diet do not get enough vitamin B12 from their diet.2 Supplementation of vitamin B12 in the form of methyl B12 is highly recommended for vegetarians and vegans.
Method of use:
- Take 1 tablet one to two times daily.
