Overview

This formula provides 1 mg of folate as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, a commonly used high-potency prenatal folate dose; avoid stacking with multiple high-folate products unless advised by a clinician.
Vitamin B6 is supplied as pyridoxal-5′-phosphate at 2 mg, far below levels typically associated with B6 neuropathy risk.
Vitamin B12 is supplied as methylcobalamin at 2.8 mcg, which is safe but not a treatment dose for diagnosed B12 deficiency; high folate intake can complicate recognition of untreated B12 deficiency.
People using antiepileptic drugs, methotrexate, antifolate therapies, or levodopa should consult a health professional before use because folate and B6 can affect some medication regimens.
The product is intended for adults and prenatal use, especially before conception and early pregnancy, but pregnant users should coordinate it with their prenatal vitamin plan.
