What's In It For
My Immune System?

Needed to make DNA and RNA, the genetic material that dictates cell functions. Deficiency of the vitamin could hamper immunity.

Synergies
Folate + B6, B12

They act like buddies, working synergistically to reduce levels of homocysteine, an amino acid, in the body. Lower homocysteine may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. The trio of B vitamins also helps maintain brain health and proper neurological function.
