  • The inclusion of active forms of folate (L-5-MTHF), vitamin B6 (P5P), and vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) provides comprehensive support for healthy red blood cell formation and overall energy metabolism.
  • B vitamins are included to support individuals with anemia, women of menstruating age, individuals following vegan or vegetarian diets, and older individuals.

The research

3 cited studies
1.
Iron Bisglycinate Chelate Absorption

Studies demonstrate that ferrous bisglycinate chelate exhibits superior absorption compared to other iron forms like ferrous sulfate, with reduced gastrointestinal side effects.

2.
L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) Efficacy

Research indicates that L-5-MTHF, the active form of folate, is more readily utilized by the body than folic acid, particularly in individuals with MTHFR gene polymorphisms.

3.
Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) Bioavailability

Methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12, has shown enhanced bioavailability and retention in the body compared to cyanocobalamin.
