Making sense of Biotics Folate (B9) + Cobalamin (B12) products

I had to write down the ingredients to all 5 of Biotics Folate + B12 supplement formulations to better understand their uses. Here’s my cheat sheet followed by the ingredient list:

  • B12-2000 Lozenges – high dose hydroxocobalamin + some calcium folinate + some pyridoxal-5-phosphate
  • Folate-5 Plus – high dose calcium folinate + some methylcobalamin
  • B12/Folate Plus – methylcobalamin + calcium folinate + ascorbic acid
  • Folic Acid 800 – folic acid + methylcobalamin
