Intrinsi B12-Folate
Metagenics
Overview
Intrinsi B12-Folate combines vitamin B12 and folate with intrinsic factor to enhance nutrient absorption. The inclusion of intrinsic factor is particularly useful for individuals who may have difficulty absorbing B12 from food alone. While the high doses of B12 and folate are generally safe, they may be unnecessary for those without a diagnosed deficiency or absorption issues. The folate is provided as Metafolin which is a bioavailable form.
