What is Methylfolate and what is Methyl-B12?
Methylfolate (vitamin B12) and methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) are among the B vitamins. B vitamins are of particular importance for the energy metabolism in the nervous system, including the brain. Folates are salts of folic acid that occur naturally in foods such as salads, vegetables and liver. To function properly in the body, they must be converted into the active methylfolate form (5-MTHF). Methylfolate acts as a coenzyme in numerous important metabolic processes and in the synthesis of the red blood pigment hemoglobin, phospholipids and the hormone melatonin. Vitamin B12 includes all vitamin-effective cobalamins, which are mainly found bound to proteins in animal foods. Vitamin B12 must be bound to the so-called intrinsic factor in the stomach, so that it can be resorbed by the intestinal mucosa at all. As a result, only a small part of the vitamin supplied is absorbed by the body. In the body, vitamin B12 is involved, for example, in cell division, homocysteine metabolism and the formation of red blood cells.
JARROW Methyl B-12 & Methyl Folate+Vitamin B6:
What health benefits does the combination of methyl folate and methyl B12 have?
The effects of methyl folate and methyl B12 complement each other very strongly in the metabolism. Both vitamins influence both the methionine metabolism and cell division. Both processes involve methylation (transfer of a methyl group) between folate and cobalamin. In the methionine metabolism, the harmful homocysteine is converted to methionine and can thus be metabolized further. As is well known, folic acid plays an important role in cell division and is therefore particularly important during pregnancy. Vitamin B12 is required so that the folic acid from food can also be converted into active folate. Otherwise the reaction cycle will be halted and the body will not be able to use the vitamin. These effects are also enhanced by supplementing with vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 is ubiquitous in most foods and, in addition to the complementary effect on homocysteine levels, also has an antioxidant effect.
Which health claims for pyridoxine (B6), folic acid (B9) and cobalamin (B12) are accepted?
• contributes to the normal function of the immune system
• contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• contributes to normal psychological function
• contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism
• contributes to the normal formation of blood (B9) and red blood cells (B6 & B12)
• contributes to a normal energy metabolism (B6 & B12)
• contributes to a normal function of the nervous system (B6 & B12)
• has a function in cell division (B9 & B12)
Since the B vitamins, with the exception of B12, can only be stored in small amounts in the body, a sustained intake of all B vitamins, including B6 and B9 (folic acid) through food or supplements is important for an optimal supply.
Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
