B-Basic

This is a really great (and inexpensive) mix of the three B vitamins needed to lower levels of homocysteine, a risk factor for heart disease and Alzheimers. Contains B6, B12, and folic acid. Recently, low levels of B12 have been linked to weaker bones.

PhysioLogics' new B-Basic formula combines vitamins B6, B12, folic acid, and the methyl donor betaine. While each of these vitamins has a distinctive job to do, they also complement each other, acting as coenzymes in energy production. Maintaining proper levels of the B vitamins prevents the accumulation of circulating homocysteine in the blood. (Homocysteine is known to damage blood vessel endothelial and smooth muscle cells by causing oxidative stress, and thickening and loss of flexibility in blood vessel walls.) Because all the B vitamins are water-soluble and quickly excreted, it is important to replenish the body's supply regularly.

Suggested use: Take 1 capsule, one to two times daily with a meal.

Size: 60 capsules.
Each capsule contains:

• Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCI)  25 mg
