Characteristics
A dietary supplement with folic acid and vitamin B12 for people taking metformin.
Ingredients
Folic acid helps maintain normal homocysteine metabolism, which has atherosclerotic effects. Long-term use of metformin can lead to a folic acid deficiency, which increases homocysteine concentration. Vitamin B12 is especially important for metformin users. Metformin can impair the absorption of vitamin B12 and lower the concentration of vitamin B12 in the body. Vitamin B12 also supports the production of red blood cells and the function of the immune system.
Recommended daily dose
Adults: 1 capsule daily between meals.
