Who is at risk of being B12 and Folic acid deficient? Infants, pregnant and nursing women, vegetarians, elderly as well as those that drink alcohol regularly, are under chronic stress, and don’t eat healthy. Nearly everyone can benefit from taking B12 and Folic Acid. They are also both critical to take as there are so many conditions and commonly used drugs which deplete their absorption. People suffering from neurological impairment find that B12 supplementation greatly improves their cognitive function. Folic acid should be taken with Vitamin-B12 to prevent the folic acid from masking a B12 deficiency.

Also, B12 and Folic acid are essential to keep homocysteine levels low in the body. Without these nutrients there is a greater risk for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, peripheral arterial disease, strokes, thrombosis.
