Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and activated folate
Vitamin B12 and folic acid – team players for blood and nerves
Vitamin B12 and folic acid are among the water-soluble vitamins of the B series. In combination with other micronutrients, both team players are involved in the breakdown of homocysteine. Nowadays, researchers often focus on the micronutrients involved in the composition and breakdown of this intermediate metabolic product because homocysteine can affect different bodily functions. In addition to their involvement in homocysteine metabolism, folic acid and vitamin B12 are also involved in blood formation and support the normal mental functions. Furthermore, both B vitamins can help reduce tiredness and fatigue. In addition to standard folic acid, the revised formulation of 'B12 Folate' also contains its activated form (Quatrefolic®) and thus, corresponds to the demands of current science.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification.
