Folic acid
+ vitamins B₆ + B₁₂ + C + E
- A supplement intended for periconceptional folic acid supplementation
- Combines folic acid with vitamins B6 and B12 to help reduce homocysteine levels
- Uses prolonged-release DEPOT technology to optimize nutrient absorption by the body
Essential for cell growth and vascular function
A large part of the population, particularly pregnant women and older adults, do not meet their needs for vitamins B6, B12, C and folic acid.
These nutrients are essential for cell growth and the body’s natural defences, as well as for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. For women preparing for pregnancy, folic acid is particularly important because it helps reduce the risk of malformations related to neural tube closure defects.
One daily tablet of Doppelherz® aktiv Folic Acid provides optimal amounts of vitamins B6, B12, C, E and folic acid to support the body’s daily functions.
Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid
Vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid are cofactors required in the enzymatic reactions involved in eliminating homocysteine. Homocysteine is an intermediate product in amino acid metabolism and is also considered a cardiovascular risk factor, which is why blood levels should remain low. By supporting the effective elimination of homocysteine, vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.
Folic acid
- Essential for the formation of red blood cells
- Essential for cell division and cellular metabolism, protein synthesis and tissue growth (for example during pregnancy)
- Helps reduce the risk of malformations linked to neural tube closure defects
Vitamin B12
- Essential for cell growth and cell division, particularly of red blood cells
Vitamin B6
- Essential for haemoglobin synthesis and blood clotting
- Plays a role in protein synthesis and cellular energy production
Vitamin C
- The body’s main intracellular antioxidant
- Strengthens immune defences
- Water-soluble vitamin that cannot be stored in large amounts by the body, therefore it must be supplied regularly throughout the day
Vitamin E
- Protects fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids
- Essential for various neuromuscular functions and for protecting nerve cells
Better absorption of nutrients thanks to DEPOT tablets
The body absorbs nutrients released gradually at low doses more efficiently than nutrients released all at once at high doses. This is due to the rapid saturation of nutrient absorption mechanisms in the intestine. DEPOT technology consists of a special coating that allows the gradual release of micronutrients over several hours, giving the body time to absorb them. The bioavailability of nutrients provided by DEPOT tablets is therefore better than that obtained with an immediate-release tablet.
