vitamin b12
Several forms are existing like cyanocobalamin or methyl-cobalamin. It plays a role in the metabolism of several proteins and nitrogen-containing compounds and is an important enzyme of the synthesis of the DNA and RNA. In absence, anaemia can develop which is also dependent on the level of folic acid/folate too, so it is recommended to take them together. It supports the normal operation of the brain and nervous system. Its presence is particularly important in the first trimester of pregnancy.
vitamin b9
It is often described as another synergic compound, this is also part of vitamin B complex group (folic acid/folate). It plays an important role in the metabolism of the amino acids and nucleic acids. It is important during the period of foetal development and for normal neural tube closure. It is also a key factor for haematogenesis in synergy with vitamin B12.
