Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is necessary for the body to be able to activate vitamin B6. Riboflavin is also necessary for the body’s conversion of tryptophan to niacin, and the conversion of folate to folate’s various active forms. In addition, riboflavin plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fats and glucose, the synthesis of red blood cells, healthy methylation, and the production and regulation of certain hormones.

Research on trace minerals has conclusively demonstrated their importance to human health. Trace minerals are cofactors for most of the body’s enzymatic reactions, as well as being essential for proper hormone and neurotransmitter function.

Many vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin as the active ingredient, which the liver must first “detoxify” and modify to form methylcobalamin – an active form of vitamin B12 that is essential for processes involved in cardiac function, sleep, blood cell formation, and nerve function. Thorne’s Methylcobalamin provides vitamin B12 in its already biologically active and tissue-ready form. Clinical evidence indicates that the body uses methylcobalamin more efficiently than cyanocobalamin. Methylcoblamin helps maintain normal circadian rhythms to promote normal sleep and supports healthy methylation processes in the body.
