Folinic Acid with B-12
Brand: Kirkman
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This supplement supports cellular function through two key methyl donors. Folinic Acid (Calcium Folinate) bypasses dihydrofolate reductase to generate tetrahydrofolate (THF), essential for DNA synthesis and amino acid metabolism. It rapidly enters the folate cycle to aid purine and pyrimidine creation. Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) acts as a coenzyme in the methionine synthase reaction, converting homocysteine to methionine. This reaction regenerates tetrahydrofolate, creating a synergistic loop that fuels rapid cell division and maintains healthy neurological pathways.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy red blood cell formation
- Promotes neurological function and cognitive health
- Aids in DNA synthesis and repair
- Helps maintain normal homocysteine levels
- Provides bioavailable forms for sensitive individuals
Usage & Safety
Take 1 capsule daily with a meal to enhance absorption. Best taken in the morning to support daytime energy metabolism. Consult a healthcare provider if taking medications (e.g., methotrexate) or if you have a history of seizures. Keep out of reach of children.
