Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is one of the most widespread water-soluble vitamins. The most important and common dietary sources are milk and dairy products, lean meat, eggs, and leafy greens.
Yeast and liver have the highest concentrations, but they don’t have much relevance in today’s nutrition. Among its functions, vitamin B2 contributes:

• to normal energy metabolism.
• to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
• to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• to the maintenance of mucous membranes under normal conditions.
• to the maintenance of red blood cells under normal conditions.
• to the maintenance of the skin in normal conditions.
• to the maintenance of vision under normal conditions.
• to normal iron metabolism.
• Helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin.
There are three natural forms of vitamin B6: pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal, and all are normally present in food, however, pyridoxine is the most well-known form. Sources of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are chicken, beef, especially liver, and pork.
Good sources include fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, grouper, and herring), nuts (walnuts, peanuts), bread, corn, and whole grains.
Vegetables and fruit are generally poor sources of vitamin B6. Among its functions, vitamin B6 contributes:

• to the normal synthesis of cysteine.
• to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• to normal energy metabolism.
• to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• to normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
• to normal psychological function.
• to the normal formation of red blood cells.
• to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• to regulate hormonal activity.

Vitamin B9, also called folate, is one of the water-soluble B vitamins.
Its name comes from the word “folia” which means leaf in Latin, due to its natural presence in green leafy vegetables.
Also in beans, wheat germ and yeast.
Other sources include egg yolk, milk and dairy, beetroot, orange juice, and wholemeal bread.
Vitamin B9 is given in different forms: the natural one which is folate and folic acid, which is a synthetic folate compound used in vitamin supplements and fortified foods because it is more stable. Folic acid contributes:

• to normal psychological function.
• Helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy.
• to normal amino acid synthesis.
• to the normal formation of blood cells.
• to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• to the process of cell division.

Tiredness and fatigue associated with stress can be a causative factor in hair loss.
In food supplements, folate is usually found in the form of folic acid, but different salts such as 5-MTHF (methylfolate) can also be used.
Quatrefolic® glucosamine salt (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF).
The source of folic that is selected is very important.
Dietary supplements containing 5-MTHF may be better than folic acid for some people who have a gene mutation called MTHFR C677T because their bodies can use this form more easily.
This is because the body cannot transform the synthetic folic or folic present in fruits and vegetables into its methylated active form.
That is why our formulas contain Quatrefolic® (5-MTHF).
Quatrefolic® is a fourth-generation folate.
It is a registered trademark of Vitamin B9, (also known as Folate).
It is the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) and is structurally identical to the reduced, active form of folate found in our bodies. It is an innovative dietary ingredient that provides greater stability, improved bioavailability, higher water solubility, and flexibility for multi-ingredient formulations compared to a third-generation 5-MTHF calcium salt. In recent years, more and more evidence has been found of the advantages of reduced folate over folic acid.
The use of reduced folate (particularly reduced and methylated as Quatrefolic®) is the solution since a large part of the world’s population cannot assimilate and metabolize folic acid from foods or food supplements.
Quatrefolic® is manufactured under controlled conditions according to cGMP and since glucosamine does not come from animals or shellfish, Quatrefolic ® is a great choice for vegetarians.
In addition, Quatrefolic® is considered safe and is recognized as GRAS.

Vitamin B12 is the largest and most complex of the vitamins.
Vitamin B12 comprises the only cobalt-containing molecules (called cobalamins) with biological activity in humans. Vitamin B12 is produced exclusively by microbial synthesis in the digestive tract of animals.
Therefore, people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet have to provide this vitamin through food supplements. It is obtained from products with animal proteins, especially organ meats.
Other good sources include fish, eggs, and dairy products. Among its functions, vitamin B12 contributes:

• to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• to normal energy metabolism.
• to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• to normal psychological function.
• to the normal formation of red blood cells.
• to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• to the process of cell division.

Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine, is a non-essential nutrient that contributes to the production of hydrochloric acid in the body.
Hydrochloric acid is essential for the absorption of vitamin B12, calcium and iron. It is synthesized from choline and can also be obtained through the diet.
Food sources such as beets, liver, eggs, fish, legumes, and whole grains. Betaine is used to treat homocysteinuria, which is the elevation of homocysteine levels in the blood.
Its main function is that it contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine.
The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 1.5 g of betaine. Betaine contributes:

• to normal homocysteine metabolism.

Choline is an essential nutrient that belongs to the group of B vitamins. It is not a vitamin as it can be synthesized in small amounts in the liver.
Most of the choline found in the body comes from the food you eat.
Among its sources, it can be obtained from meat, eggs and dairy products.
It is also obtained from cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower and some types of beans, nuts, seeds and whole grains. On the other hand, choline is very important for cell membranes and for producing acetylcholine, a neutrotransmitter.
Therefore, it plays an important role in memory and muscle control. Among its functions, the hill contributes:

• to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• to normal lipid metabolism.
• to maintain normal liver function.

Recent studies suggest that, in addition to the properties of choline for the proper functioning of organs such as the liver or brain, they can also contribute to maintaining the muscular system and reducing cardiovascular risk.
