Vitamins
Vitamins are vital for human life because they play integral roles in hundreds of life-sustaining biochemical reactions. Vitamins are the catalysts for all reactions using proteins, fats and carbohydrates for energy, growth and cell maintenance. Certain nutrients are required in excess of the typical amounts supplied in the diet depending on specific nutritional needs. Consuming dietary vitamin and mineral supplements may help play an important role in maintaining good health. For the most part, vitamins cannot be produced in the body and must be supplied through the diet or vitamin and mineral supplements.

Folic Acid functions as a coenzyme for approximately 20 enzymes. It works with vitamins B12 and C in the utilization of proteins. It is essential to the development of heme, the protein-containing iron in haemoglobin needed to form red blood cells. Folic acid may also help prevent neural tube defects in developing foetuses and is essential during pregnancy. Some folic acid is produced by intestinal bacteria.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is the only vitamin that contains cobalt, a trace mineral. It is essential to help maintain the normal functioning of all body cells, especially those of the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and nervous system. B12 is also necessary for forming red blood cells. The metabolism of vitamin B12 is closely correlated with folate (folic acid) metabolism.

High intakes of folic acid may mask vitamin B12 deficiency and vice versa.

Individuals taking Methotrexate should avoid folic acid in doses of 1mg and above unless under supervision.

Vitamin B12 in high levels (mg doses) should be avoided in pregnancy and in children under the age of twelve unless clinically indicated.
