Folic Acid & Vitamin B12 Caps 200 capsules Folic acid (folate) is a member of the B-complex family. Found in abundance in leafy green vegetables, folic acid participates in a coenzyme reaction that synthesizes DNA needed for cell growth and new cell formation, and helps convert vitamin B12 to one of its coenzyme forms. Folic acid provides the following health benefits: Helps promote healthy DNA function Maintains already normal homocysteine levels, which is important for heart health Participates in the utilization of sugar and carbohydrates Promotes healthier skin Helps maintain a healthy GI tract Maintains healthy endothelial function Improves mild memory loss associated with aging Optimal levels of folate are necessary for healthy cell division and protein synthesis and are especially important for the maintenance of a healthy GI tract. The systemic need for folate increases in certain states in which increased cell multiplication is needed. Chronic use of medications such as aspirin and antacids can interfere with the natural synthesis of folate. Supplement Facts Serving Size 1 capsule Servings Per Container 200 Amount Per Serving Folate (as folic acid) 800 mcg Vitamin B12 (as cyanocobalamin) 300 mcg Other ingredients: rice flour, gelatin, beet root powder. Contains yeast and rice. This product contains NO milk, egg, fish, peanuts, crustacean shellfish (lobster, crab, shrimp), tree nuts, wheat, gluten, or corn. Contains NO artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives. Dosage and Use Take one capsule daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. Caution Since folic acid can mask the most obvious effect of a vitamin B12 deficiency, the Life Extension Foundation Buyers Club offers only folic acid capsules that contain vitamin B12, and those taking folic acid powder are advised to add vitamin B12 powder to their daily folic acid supplement. Note Healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman’s risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect. Women of childbearing age should consume 800 mcg of folate daily. Warnings
