B12, B6, Folate

Feeling tired and run down? You're not alone. Vitamin B12 is mostly found in animal products, but even meat-eaters may not be getting enough. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported in 2000 that 39% of individuals tested had low-to-normal levels of B12 in their blood. 17% had levels low enough to cause symptoms of deficiency. Contains Methylcobalamin, the preferred form of vitamin B12. Methylcobalamin is active in the body immediately upon absorption while the cyanocobalamin form must be converted to an active form prior to utilization. Numerous studies suggest that vitamin B12, vitamin B6 andfolate play an important role in optimizing homocysteine levels in the body. Chewable sublingual tablet Vital supplement for vegans and vegetarians A Hallelujah Diet Complement Vitamin B12 combined with vitamin B6 and folate for maximum benefits What is B12 good for? Vegans and vegetarians are typically low in vitamin B12 because it is not found in plant foods. However, people who eat meat are low in B12 as well. An article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that appeared in 2000 reveals that 39% of individuals tested had low-to-normal levels of B12 in their blood, and 17% had levels low enough to cause symptoms of deficiency. After the results of further research conducted by Hallelujah Acres Research Director Dr. Michael Donaldson revealed low levels of B12 in 47% of the 54 test subjects, it became clear that it is wise for everyone to be aware of their need for B12, regardless of their diet. And for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet, including The Hallelujah Diet, it is vital to use a B12 supplement, preferably one formulated with methylcobalamin, the active form of B12, not cyanocobalamin, which the body must convert before it can be used.
