In Part 1 of Why Methylation Matters, Dr. Erin Stokes discussed what methylation means, and why it matters when it comes to selecting your vitamins. With 30% of the population unable to convert certain B vitamins into the form their body needs, it makes sense to offer them in their active state, so that everyone, regardless of whether they fall into that 30% or not – can benefit from them!

For that reason, MegaFood has introduced Methyl B12 to the lineup. Both of these new B vitamin formulations contain methylated forms of folate and B12, as well as the active form of Vitamin B6. As for what makes each product unique, let’s break down the differences:

Methyl B12

MethylB12_60Methyl B12 is a convenient one-a-day, easy-to-swallow mini tablet designed to support energy production*,  health of brain cells & nerve tissues,* and the formation of healthy blood cells,* as well as support heart health by maintaining healthy levels of homocysteine.* So much support in such a small tablet! Methyl B12 is also great for those following vegetarian or vegan lifestyles, who do not get B12 naturally in their diets.

In addition to B12 and its support team of folate and B6, Methyl B12 also features beets! “Why beets?” you might ask. Beets are one of the richest natural food sources of methyl donors that enhance the utilization of Vitamin B12 and red blood cell production. (1)* The WholeState® Beet Root found in our products is crafted using our one-of-a-kind Slo-Food Process to preserve the beneficial phytonutrients beets offer.

Grab Life by the B’s

So, whether you’re looking to supplement your B12 due to dietary needs or energy concerns, or want to support your focus and mental clarity without reaching for another mid-day cup of coffee, this new methylated B vitamin formula is here to support you.* It doesn’t matter if you’re a methylating rockstar, or need a little help from your friends, the active B forms – MegaFood’s got your back!
