What form is the Vitamin B12 in?

Methylcobalamin. This is the most absorbable form of B12. Cheap B12 comes in the Cyanocobalamin form which is inferior, synthetic, and inactive.

What kind of Folic Acid does Blood Vitality contain?

First of all, Blood Vitality does not contain folic acid but (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid. Long name = BIG difference.

Secondly, this form of folate, produced by Quatrefolic® is in its "reduced, active, ready-to-use form."

From Quatrefolic® website:

QUATREFOLIC® VS FOLIC ACID

In the recent years increasing evidence of the advantages of reduced folate vs folic acid have been found. The rational use of reduced folate (particularly reduced and methylated such as Quatrefolic®) is derived from the inability of a part of world population to assimilate and metabolize folic acid from food or supplements (the most of folate assumption is coming from folic acid man-made version in supplements and added to foods).

Folic acid and also food folate are not biologically active and need to be converted to the metabolically active 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) through a multi-steps process where the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) owns a key role. Some individuals, due to their unique genetic patterns and expression, have polymorphic forms of this enzyme and do not produce adequate or effective MTHFR [1, 2, 3].

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is one of the most important enzymes in human physiology, deficiencies in production or function of this enzyme have been associated with increased risk of different diseases.

Can the capsules be opened and mixed with food?

Absolutely. However, we don't recommend taking it with any calcium rich food (milk, yogurt, cheese) as this will decrease absorption.

What form is the Vitamin B6 in?

Pyridoxine HCL

Are there any yeast derived ingredients?

None at all.

Is this product gluten free?

Yes, this product is gluten free.

Is Blood Vitality Vegan?

Yes, Blood Vitality is vegan. No animal products are used.

What form is the Vitamin C in?

The vitamin C is ascorbic acid from beets.

I've been anemic since giving birth to my first child and haven't been able to find an iron that my stomach could tolerate. When I had my ferritin levels checked in August they were at 11. Just had them checked again at the beginning of January (5 months later) and they are up to 40! Feeling great!

I was so tired and in my third trimester with twin girls. I had been taking iron glycinate for months and my iron levels kept dropping. My stools would be black and I felt gross. I had my ferritin tested and it was at a nine. I immediately switched to Blood Vitality™ and I couldn’t believe it but in 32 days my ferritin jumped up to 23. I didn't have any black stools. My energy was so much better. My midwife said she had never seen any of her pregnant mother’s iron levels go up that fast, especially in the third trimester and with twins!!!

It was hard for me to find a supplement that wouldn’t make me sick but would also help me with my energy levels. When I got pregnant I started taking Blood Vitality™ and my iron levels were the highest they had ever been and it was the best I ever felt, I had energy and wasn’t tired. I still feel great 6 weeks postpartum.
