B12 Elite combines two active forms of this crucial vitamin in a single vegetarian lozenge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \nVitamin B12 is essential for proper biological processes. Serum levels of vitamin B12 can decline over time, and because it’s found primarily in animal products, vegetarian diets may not provide sufficient B12. This B12 Elite gives you 500 mcg each of adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin: two neurologically active forms of B12.\n\u003c\/center\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u0026amp;check; Novel formula delivers two forms of bioactive B12 \u003cbr\u003e\n\u0026amp;check; Helps protect delicate brain cells \u003cbr\u003e\n\u0026amp;check; Promotes healthy dopamine levels \u003cbr\u003e\n\u0026amp;check; Encourages healthy B12 serum levels \u003cbr\u003e\n\u0026amp;check; Promotes overall brain health \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAdenosylcobalamin helps preserve neuronal function\u003c\/b\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\nLeucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a type of enzyme that modifies other proteins by adding phosphate groups. Inhibiting the activity of this enzyme has been associated with helping to preserve neuronal tissue.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA series of preclinical studies has shown that the adenosylcobalamin form of B12 can inhibit the activity of multiple LRRK2 variants in neurons by decreasing phosphorylation (the addition of phosphate groups to amino acids).\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThese studies found that adenosylcobalamin helped regulate healthy release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in cognitive functions such as motor control, arousal, reinforcement and reward.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA cofactor for energy metabolism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAdenosylcobalamin is active in the mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells. It’s required as a cofactor for the synthesis of succinyl-CoA, a compound that supports cellular energy metabolism.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMethylcobalamin for cellular health \u0026amp; beyond\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMethylcobalamin is another neurologically active form of B12 (though in different ways than adenosylcobalamin). Methylcobalamin supports the central nervous system, and it’s essential for the replication and growth of cells.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMethylcobalamin helps to maintain already healthy homocysteine levels. Inhibiting excess levels of this compound is key to maintaining healthy cardiovascular and neurological function.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eB12 for a healthy brain and more\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis B12 formula combines methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin to offer optimal cognitive support.
