KAL® B-6, B-12 & Folic Acid ActivMelt™ micro tablets, with a delicious natural berry flavor, melt quickly in the mouth and are designed for optimal absorption in the body. Vitamins B-6, B-12 & Folic Acid are intended to work synergistically to provide nutritive support for healthy cardiovascular function through red blood cell synthesis, and supporting protein metabolism and normal homocysteine levels. Women who consume healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce their risk of having a child with birth defects of the brain or spinal cord.

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance of healthy nervous system and for metabolic utilization of fats and protein. Vitamin B12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells. In addtion, adequate intake of Vitamin B12 , along with folic acid and Vitamin B6, encourages healthy serum homocysteine levels, therby supporting cardiovascular health. Because Vitamin b12 is found predominantly in animal products, strict vegetarians are developing Vitamin B12 deficiency and many benefit from supplementation. Now® Vitamin B12 is vegetarian/ vegan (non-animal derived).

Vitamin B12 is part of a group of essential nutrients known as the B Complex. It supports energy metabolism and promotes a healthy nervous system. Along with Folic Acid and Vitamin B6, it supports heart health by promoting healthy levels of homocysteine. B12 is required for the normal development and regeneration of red blood cells, which help to deliver oxygen throughout the body. In addition, B12 is involved in DNA synthesis and renewal.
