Vitamin B12 Plus Folic Acid Natural Cherry Flavor 1000 mcg. - 90 Lozenges Solaray

A Nutrient Powerhouse
Vitamin B12 is found in all foods of animal origin, including dairy, eggs, meat, liver, poultry and fish. But many people do not get the recommended amount in their daily diets – especially vegetarians, vegans, elderly adults, and people who have a gastrointestinal disorder. That’s where Solaray Vitamin B12 Plus Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) comes in. The Mayo Clinic reports that Vitamin B12 plays a significant role in nerve function, in addition to formation of red blood cells and production of DNA, restoring cognitive function, especially working together with Folic Acid, as in this formula. In addition, B12 supplements are used in treatment of people with mental disorders, fatigue, anemia, insomnia, stress, shingles, and more. It’s one powerful – and essential – ingredient for health!

Folic Acid – A Pregnant Woman’s Best Friend
A lack of Vitamin B12 often goes hand-in-hand with a deficiency in Folic Acid, which aids in DNA and RNA synthesis, particularly important in periods of rapid growth, such as puberty and during pregnancy. Folate deficiency in pregnant women has been linked to fetal abnormalities, such as spina bifida and anencephaly (congenital absence of part or all of the brain). In fact, studies show that women who take Folic Acid before conception reduce the risk of having a baby with these neural tube defects by up to 60%! Folate also helps control homocysteine levels.

Signs of Deficiencies
Some symptoms of B12 deficiency include fatigue, confusion, anemia, dementia, depression, muscle weakness, numbness or tingling in your hands and feet, poor memory, intestinal problems, and difficulty maintaining balance. Folic Acid deficiency shows itself with symptoms including persistent fatigue, graying of hair, tongue swelling, mouth sores, weakness, anemia, irritability, and paleness. Talk to your doctor if you think you might need to add a supplement like Solaray Vitamin B12 Plus Folic Acid to help you stave off chronic diseases and tremendous discomfort.
