In order to become active in the body, certain B vitamins must be methylated. Most supplements contain lesser-quality B vitamins which must be converted by the liver into their active forms, making it more difficult for cells to gain benefits. In addition, an estimated 30% of the population suffers from defects in this essential metabolic process.
Ultra Vites contain methylated forms of Folate (as L-Methylfolate), Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin), Vitamin B2, and Vitamin B6. Supplementing with active forms of B vitamins can improve depression management by enhancing antidepressant response and boosting work, home, and social functioning. It can also improve treatment for bipolar 1 disorder. Active forms of B vitamins relieve pain in diabetic neuropathy, low back pain, and neuralgia, and they can improve nutritional status in pregnant women. These vitamins also reduce the risk of stroke, cardiac events, and dementia by lowering total homocysteine plasma concentrations.
