Product Description:

This tablet combines L-methylfolate, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid. L-methylfolate is the active form of folate and does not depend on the MTHFR enzyme. Folate, B6 and B12 together support red blood cell formation and homocysteine metabolism. DHA is a structural fat in the brain and retina, and is commonly recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding for fetal neurological development.

The formulation is aimed mainly at pregnancy and pregnancy planning. Folic acid remains the form with proven protection against neural tube defects, and a methylfolate product should provide an equivalent amount. DHA supplementation in pregnancy may modestly reduce early preterm birth in women with low intake. High-dose folate can mask the anaemia of B12 deficiency, which the B12 content addresses. Pyridoxine at high doses over long periods causes nerve damage.

Sourcing notes. DHA is an oil, so including it in a tablet requires a microencapsulated powder form, which limits how much DHA can be included per tablet. The DHA dose and its source — fish or algal — should be specified, since algal DHA suits vegetarian buyers. Stabilised L-methylfolate salts are proprietary. Buyers should specify the dose of each component when enquiring.
