VITA B12 + folic acid 1000 µg /400 µg lozenges, 30 pcs.

Vitamin B12 and folic acid are vitamins for the nervous system, and their function and activity are interdependent. Deficiency of both vitamins is common: the most common cause of vitamin B12 deficiency is low acidity in the stomach, which prevents the absorption of vitamins. Low consumption of vegetables and fruits can lead to folate deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency is more common in the elderly, and low folate levels are common in women as well as middle-aged men.

Vitamin B12 and folic acid for memory
Vitamin B12 and folic acid contribute to normal psychological functions. Psychological functions refer to cognitive functioning such as: memory, concentration, learning and problem solving. Long-term low intake of these vitamins can weaken cognitive performance, especially memory, in the elderly.

Low levels of vitamin B12 and folate have been linked to depression
High blood levels of homocysteine ​​and low blood levels of vitamin B12 and folate are associated with an increased risk of depression. Vitamin B12 and folate help normalize homocysteine ​​metabolism. Homocysteine ​​is produced from the metabolism of dietary proteins. It is further converted to sulfur containing methane and cysteine ​​amino acids. The conversion of homocysteine ​​to methane requires vitamin B12 and folate. Due to the lack of these vitamins, homocysteine ​​is recognized in the bloodstream. A high concentration of homocysteine ​​can have a negative effect on the receptors of the nervous system.

B12 is also well absorbed from the oral mucosa if the supplement contains a large amount of the vitamin. Therefore, it is recommended to slowly suck Vita B12 chewable tablets to ensure maximum absorption of the vitamin in the mouth. Folic acid is absorbed in the intestines.
