Bio Folic Acid + B12 Liquid is a vegan-friendly option designed to prevent vitamin B12 deficiency in vegetarians and vegans whose diet provides insufficient levels of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 and folic acid are both involved in red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. Vitamin B12 and folic acid are also required for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, which is needed for the production of S-adenosyl-methionine, the methyl donor involved in nearly all methylation reactions. Research shows that a daily intake of 400 mcg of folic acid during the first trimester helps reduce neural tube defects by about 50%. In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving 119 pregnant women, continued daily intake of 400 mcg of folic acid in the second and third trimesters significantly reduced maternal and cord folate levels. Folic acid intake also better supported homocysteine levels in the later stages of pregnancy, which may be associated with adequate methyl transfer activity.
