Ingredients

Folic Acid

General
Folic acid is a hydrophilic vitamin of the B-group.

Occurrence
The vitamin received its name folic acid based on the fact that it is abundant in large quantities in leaf vegetables (Latin: folium = leaf). Aside many kind of vegetables, wholemeal products, meat and some kinds of cheese also liver and yeast are good suppliers of folic acid.

Effects
The vitamin folic acid is involved in many essential metabolic processes: It carries the genetic information from cell to cell. Folic acid has many important functions in the protein metabolism and is thereby substantially involved in all growth- and development processes – also of red blood cells.


Metafolin

General
Metafolin® is the natural bioactive form of folic acid in the human body which can be used more effectively from the human body than folic acid.

Occurrence
Folic acid is a provitamin which first has to be “activated“ in the body before it can develop its health-promoting effects to the full. In approximately half the population of Europe, this “activation process” does not work properly. Metafolin® does not have to be activated, because Metafolin®

• is already equivalent to the bioactive form of folic acid
• can thus be utilised immediately by everybody

The use of Metafolin® is therefore approved only for certain high-quality dietary supplements, and protected by a patent.
taxofit® Folic Acid + Metafolin® + Vit. B6 + B12 Depot® Tablets contain not only 400 µg folic acid and the supporting vitamins B6 and B12, but also an adequate amount of Metafolin®. The special taxofit® depot technology ensures that the vital substances are released over a period of several hours to provide the best possible long-term supplementation for your body.

Effects
Folic acid and Metafolin® play an essential role in all processes of cell division in the human body, for example to form brain-, heart-, blood-, bone-, skin- and hair cells.


Vitamin B₁₂ (cyanocobalamin)

Occurrence
The natural occurrence of vitamin B₁₂ is limited to animal foods. Some yeasts are, however, able to synthesize the vitamin. That’s why some fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kefir and brottrunk (fermentation product of cereals or bread) are good sources.

Effects
Vitamin B₁₂, also known as cobalamin, is responsible for the formation of blood in the bone marrow and provides normal blood agglutination through thrombozytes (= blood platelets). It helps with the formation of the entire nervous system and is thereby also involved in the function of the sensory and locomotor system of our limbs.


Vitamin B₆ (pyridoxine)

Occurrence
Vitamin B₆ is very common in plant as well as animal foodstuffs. Good vitamin B6 sources are e.g. germs, salmon, soy beans, walnuts, liver, whole rice and millet.

Effects
As it is the case in all other B vitamins, vitamin B₆ functions as a coenzyme. It catalyses numerous reactions within the amino acid and protein metabolism and controls the distribution of individual protein components in the body. In addition, it is involved in cell division and thereby serves to a healthy growth.
