Not all forms of vitamin B12 and folic acid show the same level of efficacy. Conventional supplements often contain only synthetic forms of these vitamins, which must first be converted into biologically active forms by the body before they can be utilised. Sunday Natural Vitamin B12 + Folic Acid provides a full spectrum of natural and bioactive forms of both vitamin B12 and folic acid.

Conventional vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements usually contain only one active ingredient for each vitamin. However, several active forms of B12 and folic acid occur in our bodies and in natural foods. All forms exhibit different effects and are metabolised in part via different pathways, resulting in absorption rates unique to every individual. By combining two high-quality active ingredient complexes containing all their active and natural cofactors, both vitamins can be optimally absorbed.

Although standard practice to supply vitamin B12 in an isolated, synthetic context, our pioneering MH3A® formula offers the vitamin in the same way as it occurs in food: as a mixture of all three natural and bioactive forms, which allows the natural synergistic effects between them to occur (they each fulfil completely different tasks in the body and have different focal points of action). Our MH3A® formula contains these three forms of vitamin B12 in an equal ratio, spread across a total of five active forms of B12. This formula thus provides a foundational supply of vitamin B12 as found in nature, where all three forms are always found in a harmonious combination, both in our bodies and in the foods we eat. In contrast, the majority of products available on the market contain only one of the three B12 active ingredients: either methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin or adenosylcobalamin.

In order to achieve wide structural diversity, our unique Folate Complex Ultra consists of a combination of three premium folates: the two most bioactive L-methylfolates available, the glucosamine salt Quatrefolic® and the highly available calcium salt Magnafolate® Pro, and a full spectrum of natural folates obtained from an extract of lemon peel. Both patented ingredients provide 99.9% pure L-methylfolate and complement each other by quickly and effectively allowing the absorption of bioactive L-5-MTHF through different metabolic pathways. Quatrefolic® can be directly utilised by the body. It is a patented ingredient in which methylfolate is bound to glucosamine (a natural component of many body tissues) for stabilisation, ensuring high effectiveness throughout its long shelf life. Magnafolate® Pro consists of highly bioavailable L-methylfolate in the form of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate bound to calcium salt in a patented C-Crystal form. It ensures an extremely high absorption rate: first-pass absorption allows 76% of the active ingredient into the blood (it can even cross the blood–brain barrier). Due to their extreme purity, high stability and outstanding bioavailability, Quatrefolic® and Magnafolate® Pro are the two highest quality and most effective forms of L-methylfolate.

The advantage of lozenges is their ability to be directly absorbed through the mucous membrane of the mouth by means of passive diffusion. The citamins can then enter the bloodstream directly, without first passing through the liver—as would be the case with intestinal absorption. As a result, any potential digestive difficulties in the gut can be completely avoided, significantly increasing bioavailability.

Our high-quality lozenges are based on non-GMO guar gum, allowing us to completely omit the controversial yet common additives in conventional lozenges, including magnesium stearate, sweeteners, colourings and animal products such as gelatine.

Effects

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)

Vitamin B12 fulfils a number of important functions in the body. Among other things, it can help to reduce tiredness and fatigue and maintain a normal energy metabolism. It contributes to the normal functioning of the psyche, immune and nervous systems, supports the formation of red blood cells and is beneficial for normal homocysteine metabolism. The body also needs vitamin B12 for cell division. Vitamin B12 acts as a so-called coenzyme in the body, meaning it is necessary for certain enzymes in our body to fulfil their tasks. The associated reactions are directly dependent on vitamin B12 and cannot take place without the vitamin.

Vitamin B12 MH3A® Formula

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) occurs in a variety of different chemical structures, all of which perform different tasks in the body. The natural forms of vitamin B12, which can exert a direct effect on the body, are considered bioactive coenzymes. Synthetic forms of vitamin B12, such as cyanocobalamin, must first be converted into a natural form by the body in order to be effective.

Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are the bioactive coenzyme forms of vitamin B12. Because they each have different areas of action and take part in completely different reactions, the body is able to convert these forms from one to the other. Methylcobalamin plays a role in the methylation cycle within the cell plasma, a far-reaching function influencing various body processes from blood cell synthesis to the functioning of the nervous system. Adenosylcobalamin, on the other hand, takes effect in the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell. There it plays a role in the citrate cycle, the central metabolic cycle for energy production. The third natural form of vitamin B12 is hydroxocobalamin, a form which can be found in many foods. It makes up a significant amount of the total B12 in the blood and binds particularly well to vitamin B12 transport molecules. It is thus not excreted as quickly; hydroxocobalamin is the form of B12 with the highest capacity for building long-term stores in the body and can be easily converted into either of the two active coenzyme forms as needed.

Vitamin B9 Folate (Folic Acid)

Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is involved in a variety of important body functions. This essential vitamin contributes to energy metabolism, it can reduce fatigue and tiredness and it supports the immune system as well as mental functioning. It is required for haematosis, cell division, homocysteine metabolism and forming amino acids. Folate also plays a role in the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy.

Synthetic folic acid must first be converted into folate in order to be bioactive. This conversion cannot always proceed in the body without issue, as a number of cofactors and enzymes are necessary for it to occur. The optimal, biologically active form of folate is called L-methylfolate (or, more precisely, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or L-5-MTHF). L-methylfolate is an important methyl donor and an essential component of the methylation cycle.

Dosage

Directions

Take 1 lozenge (1000µg B12 + 400µg folic acid) daily. Allow it to dissolve in the mouth for as long as possible or swallow with plenty of water.

Daily Requirements

Vitamin B12

The National Health Service (NHS) recommends a daily intake of 1.5μg of vitamin B12 (cobalamin). However, it is important to note that individual vitamin B12 needs may vary according to age, dietary habits, genetics and other factors.

The human body can only absorb a portion of the vitamin B12 found in food and supplements: only about 1–2µg of vitamin B12 can be absorbed at a time via the intrinsic factor, a special protein, with a further 1% absorbed via passive diffusion through the intestine. Calculating total B12 absorption therefore requires taking both of these factors into account. Note: By distributing intake of B12 throughout the day, absorption via the intrinsic factor can be maximised.

In the case of Sunday Natural MH3A® 1000µg, intake can be estimated at 10 to 12µg of vitamin B12 per lozenge.

Folate (Vitamin B9)

The National Health Service (NHS) recommends a daily intake of 200μg of vitamin B9 (folate). For those pregnant or trying to become pregnant, daily intake should be increased to 400μg through the 12th week of pregnancy. However, it is important to note that individual vitamin B9 needs may vary according to age, dietary habits, genetics and other factors.

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
