Cataplex® B12 supports blood health and general well-being.*
Promotes and supports blood production
Maintains healthy blood
Supports folic acid metabolism and homocysteine management
Supports healthy development of red blood cells
Essential for normal myelin synthesis and central nervous system function*
How does this product maintain healthy blood?
Cataplex B12 can help support red blood cell growth by providing adequate levels of vitamin B12. When vitamin B12 is deficient, morphological changes to blood cells and bone marrow, which generates red blood cells, are among the main symptoms.1 Vitamin B12 works closely with folic acid to make red blood cells and help iron function properly in the body.2, 3 Vitamin B12, when utilized by the body as 5-deoxyadenosyl cobalamin, is used to make succinyl CoA, which is essential for making hemoglobin.4 Red blood cells contain hemoglobin that carries oxygen to all parts of the body.*
How does vitamin B12 support folic acid metabolism and homocysteine management?
Folic acid works closely with vitamin B12 to support generation of red blood cells and helps iron function properly in the body.5 Vitamin B12 works with other nutrients (including vitamins B9 and B6) in controlling the blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine.6*
How does vitamin B12 support healthy nervous and skeletal system function?
A vitamin B12 deficiency expresses itself in a variety of neurological manifestations, including defective production of myelin, a fatty substance that surrounds nerves and acts as an insulating layer to promote efficient electrical conduction between neurons.7, 8*
How does this product promote healthy cellular function?
Cataplex B12 contains nutrients that work to protect cellular processes from environmental stress.*
This product contains less than 20 parts per million per the suggested use listed on each product label.
