Liquid B-12 is a complete B-complex formula that is high in vitamin B-12. B vitamins are often found together because, although each works independently of the others, they often function together in common metabolic pathways. For example, most of the B vitamins are involved in energy production pathways. In addition, vitamin B-12 and folic acid are both essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore are important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells. This formula contains 5,000 mcg of B-12 in three different forms to optimize its utilization.

Chewable B-12 is found in meat, dairy, and eggs, which is why vegetarians, and especially vegans, are more susceptible to vitamin B-12 deficiency. Chewable B-12 also becomes more important as we age, since our ability to absorb this important nutrient decreases

VITAMIN B-6 is an essential nutrient, required for the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. It facilitates the conversion of amino acids from one to another as needed, and is necessary for normal synthesis of hemoglobin, as well as for the normal function and growth of red blood cells. VITAMIN B-6 promotes a healthy immune system and helps recycle homocysteine back to the amino acid methionine, thus preventing an unwanted build-up of homocysteine. It is also needed for the synthesis of neurotransmitters and for converting essential fatty acids into prostaglandins (chemical messengers).

Vitamin B6 is converted into the main enzyme responsible for amino acid & protein metabolism. The central nervous system also relies on B6 in the production of serotonin, a critical neurotransmitter.
