    B Complex + Vitamin C

    Terranova B Complex with Vitamin C is formulated with ingredients which allow the body to resist the damaging effects of physical or psychological stress and restore optimal physiological function.

    The formulation provides the full spectrum of B Vitamins, plus choline, inositol, Vitamin C, and a MAGNIFOOD COMPLEX featuring botanicals that work in synergy with these nutrients.

    While most B complex supplements include folic acid and vitamin B12, this formulation features calcium L-methylfolate and methylcobalamin. Research has shown that calcium L-methylfolate is a more bioavailable form of folate rather than folic acid as it is better absorbed, and not affected by metabolic defects. Data suggests that between 6-14% of the population may have a methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase or MTHFR gene mutation, resulting in a highly reduced ability to convert folic acid into a usable form within the body. Calcium L-methylfolate is not affected in the same way and is therefore suitable for all users, with the added benefit of enhanced utilisation.

     

    Helps to metabolise carbohydrates, fats and proteins, contributes to tissue and normal red blood cell formation, helps in the maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums, and assists with wound healing. Contains antioxidants for the maintenance of good health.
