B-12 has long been known for its ability to help with depression. But it’s still very underrated. What is even lesser known is its magic partner Folates role in making the most of your B-12. Having this intravenously is your best bet but try doing that in NZ. It’s not accessible to the majority and comes a Huge $ cost.
Enter Bulletproofs new Methyl B-12.
“B12 can protect against dementia, increase immune function, maintain nerves, and regenerate cells. B12 lowers homocysteine and protects against atherosclerosis. It’s necessary for maintaining methylation reactions that repair DNA and prevent cancer. One of the most crucial areas for B12 is the brain.
Folate deficiency can also cause mental symptoms, although B12 is more likely to be a problem. Folate and B12 are both required for mental function, and a deficiency in one produces a deficiency in the other, but folate will not correct a B12 deficiency in the brain. Folate also supports a healthy heart and nervous system. If you make the mistake of treating B12 deficiency without folate, you can get permanent brain damage. Likewise, high amounts of folate without adequate B12 can cause neurological conditions.That’s why I take them together.”
