Why does Res-Q Multi contain high percentages of recommended daily value for B Vitamins and folic acid?

There is evidence that maintaining a healthy homocysteine level may improve the health of your cardiovascular system.


There is also evidence that elevated homocysteine levels may put the health of your cardiovascular system at risk.

In addition, blood levels of homocysteine are related to blood levels of Vitamin B12, and Folate.

Do vitamin deficiencies increase your risk of disease?

A meta-analysis of clinical studies involving 1,114 people and 12 trials, revealed that taking folic acid supplements containing at least .5 milligrams, which is 500 micrograms, and adding a similar amount of Vitamin B12 can reduce homocysteine levels by at least 25%.


One Serving (3 caplets) of Res-Q Multi contains 800 micrograms of folic acid and 500mcg of Vitamin B12 in order to provide the right amount to help maintain a healthy homocysteine level. Based on the evidence presented in these studies, this amount of reduction in homocysteine would reduce the average homocysteine level of the Western Diet enough to improve cardiovascular health mortality rates, and have an impact on the well being of the population. This is the reason for the amounts of folic acid and Vitamin B12 that we have included in the Res-Q Multi. The amounts of folic acid, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12 found in the Res-Q multivitamin are safe levels that are below the upper limits for safe intake levels. Some people supplement their diet with a multivitamin to ensure their needs are met. Res-Q Multi is a multivitamin specifically formulated to meet both cardiovascular health and general health needs.
