Vitamin B12 is used in the CORE™ formula, the foundation of the entire CardioTrim health supplement line.

The B family of vitamins is water-soluble vitamins. This means that they are excreted in the urine and can be quickly depleted from the body. When we take more water-soluble vitamins than we need, small amounts are stored in body tissue, particularly the liver, but most of the excess is excreted in urine. Because they are depleted from the body so quickly, it is important that we take supplements of the B vitamins in large daily amounts to replenish these important vitamins in our body.

Vitamin B12 is a water soluble vitamin also known a cyanocobalamin B12 functions in a wide variety of metabolic processes including the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Research on B12 shows it plays an important role in cellular energy production. Bacteria only produce B12, so it is only found in food products of animal origin and in some fermented vegetable products such as tempeh and miso (fermented soybeans).  Eggs, organ meats, fish and milk are all good dietary sources of B12.

B12 works closely with another B vitamin, Folic Acid, in reactions involved with DNA synthesis, blood cell formation, nervous system maintenance and heart health. Elevated plasma homocysteine concentrations are considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and birth defects such as neural tube defects. Recent studies have shown that plasma homocysteine can be lowered by folic acid combined with vitamin B12. The combination of B12 with folic acid is significantly more effective in reducing homocysteine levels than is Folic Acid alone.

The CardioTrim CORE formula contains these two unique and patent-pending ingredients, Cissus and AlbumaSoy™. The remaining ingredients are a blend of Green Tea Extract, Chromium Polynicotinate, Selenium, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Folic Acid.

Soy Labs’ two proprietary herbal extracts and other CORE ingredients are blended to work synergistically for optimum bioavailability and absorption by your body.
