How L-Methylfolate + B6 + B12 works
L-methylfolate, pyridoxal phosphate and methylcobalamin are the forms of folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 that the body uses directly. They work together in processes that make DNA and red blood cells, maintain the protective coating of nerves and break down homocysteine. Being already active, they do not need conversion in the body.
