Extra Strength Methyl B-12 & Methyl Folate – 60 Chewable Tablets, Orange Citrus Flavour

Who Needs Extra Vitamin B12?

Many Canadians struggle with low energy and brain fog, especially as they age or follow a plant-based diet. Vegans and vegetarians are at particular risk for vitamin B12 deficiency since natural food sources are mostly animal-based. Older adults, those with digestive disorders such as Crohn's disease or pernicious anaemia, and individuals taking medications like metformin or proton pump inhibitors may also require supplementation. If you experience fatigue, brain fog, or mood changes, a B12 supplement could be beneficial. Always consult a health care practitioner to determine your specific needs.

Understanding Vitamin B12 and Its Functions

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, and proper neurological function. It also helps convert food into energy, supporting normal energy yielding metabolism. Unfortunately, many people have difficulty absorbing B12 from food, especially as they age. Brain Bean's formula uses methylcobalamin, the naturally occurring bioactive form, which is readily used by the body without needing conversion.

Key Benefits of Methylated B12 and Folate

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism, helping reduce tiredness and fatigue. It supports the normal function of the nervous system and contributes to normal psychological function. B12 also plays a role in normal homocysteine metabolism, important for heart health. Combined with methyl folate (5-MTHF), the active form of folate, these nutrients work together to help maintain cognitive function and mental clarity. This is especially important for individuals with MTHFR gene variations who may have trouble converting folic acid. Each serving provides 1000 mcg of methylcobalamin, 400 mcg of methyl folate, and 1.5 mg of vitamin B6 for additional support.

What to Look for in a B12 Supplement

Not all supplements are created equal. The form matters: methylcobalamin is the bioactive form used directly by the body, while cyanocobalamin is synthetic and requires conversion. Methyl folate (5-MTHF) bypasses the need for conversion in the body, making it ideal for those with MTHFR variants. Dosage is also key: Brain Bean delivers a high potency of 1000 mcg B12 and 400 mcg folate per serving. The convenient chewable lozenges dissolve quickly and have a pleasant orange citrus flavour, making them easy to take without water. They are vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from major allergens.

How to Take Brain Bean Methyl B-12 & Methyl Folate

For adults, chew one tablet daily or as directed by a health care professional. Because B12 is water-soluble, excess is typically excreted in urine, making high doses generally safe. However, do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult a health care practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place. Always read the label and follow directions for use.

Common Questions About B12 Supplementation
