Folinic Acid with Vitamin B12 Hypoallergenic - Kirkman
Product ID: S-VM-KIRK-275/200
Kirkman offers Folinic
Acid with B-12 hypoallergenic
capsules for individuals with
special requirements and
sensitivities.
The product contains only
plant cellulose as an additive
and is casein and gluten free.
Biochemically in the body,
folic acid supports cellular
perception and response,
methylation processes and many
enzymatic reactions.
It is also linked to
maintaining healthy
homocysteine levels, which
supports cardiovascular health.
To be active in the body,
folic acid has to be reduced
twice by folate reductase
enzymes, then converted to
tetrahydrofolate, after which
a methyl group is added to the
tetrahydrofolate.
In some individuals, the
use of natural folinic acid
may be more beneficial than
folic acid, because folinic
acid already has attached four
hydrogen and one methyl group,
thereby shortcutting the
complicated biochemical
process. For that reason,
some doctors are recommending
folinic acid instead of folic
acid supplementation.
Because folic acid can
sometimes mask a vitamin B-12
deficiency, this product
contains vitamin B-12, as well.
It is also believed that
vitamin B-12 works
synergistically with folic acid.
The most active form of
vitamin B-12 in folate
chemistry is methylcobalamin,
and Kirkman utilizes this form
of vitamin B-12 in this product.
