Abstract Mammalian cells require activated folates to generate nucleotides for growth and division. The most abundant circulating folate species is 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (5-methyl- THF), which is used to synthesize methionine from homocysteine via the cobalamin-dependent enzyme methionine synthase (MTR).

  • Multi Vitamin Formulations
    Multi Vitamin Formulations The gender-specific men’s and women’s multivitamins and the nerve tissue supplement contain ingredients in a form that the body can easily use, in the recommended daily amounts. These ingredients promote the health of the heart, brain, muscle, bone and other parts of the body by giving them the nutrients they need to function properly. This document goes into what is in each supplement, why those ingredients are present (and in what amounts) and what that particular ingredient does in the body. All ingredients in the supplements are natural and nontoxic, and help support good health. Ingredient review for the Multi Vitamin Supplement The broad-spectrum multivitamins were formulated for men and women according to the current knowledge of daily required amounts of nutrients, and the differences in need (as in iron) between men and women. The polyphenolics, probiotics, and secondary nutrients like carnitine and ubiquinone (CoQ10) were added to help supplement the daily diet, and to help support the tissue-support supplement that it is meant to be taken along with. The focus of this section reviewing the multi-vitamin offering is to understand how these ingredients work in the body to improve overall health, and how the formula compares to the new recommended daily intake values for food and dietary supplements in the updated 21CFR section 101.9 [1]. The ingredient list and dosages for the men’s and women’s multivitamins are described in the table below. Table 1: Overview of the gender specific Multi-Vitamin Ingredient

  • The Vitamin B12 Coenzyme
    THE VITAMIN B12 COENZYME D. DoLPHIN, A. W. JoHNSON, R. RoDRIGO and N.

The coenzyme was shown4 to be related to !f;-vitamin B12, i.e. contair ing an adenine nucleotide grouping in place of the 5,6-dimethyl­ benziminawle nucleotide of vitamin B12, although similar coenzymes con­ taining btnziminazole or 5,6-dimethylbenziminazole were produced by growing C. tetanomorphum in the presence of the a ppropriate base5. Other variations of the nucleotide base have been achieved using Propionibacterium arabinosum in the presence of other purines and benziminazoles6• The pres­ ence of;:he coenzymes in a wide variety of micro-organisms such as several species of Actinomycetes including Streptomyces olivaceus and S. griseus has been dem( mstrated by the glutamate isomerase assay7 or by isolation. I t appears thü Vitamin B12 and its analogues are always biosynthesized in the form of their coenzymes. Preliminary physical and chemical studies sug­ gested that in the 5,6-dimethylbenzirninazolyl cobamide coenzyme the cyanide gr )up of vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, was replaced by an adenine nucleoside':, 5, 8 and the determination9 of the complete structure (I; R = 5'-de·)xyadenosyl) of the coenzyme by X-ray analysis revealed the existence c f an essentially covalent bond between the cobalt atom and the S'.. carbon üom of the additional 5'-deoxyadenosine group.
