  When it comes to methylated supplements, methylation really only applies to certain B vitamins ... especially folate (B9), B12, and B6.

If you’re taking probiotics, the heat from coffee could also affe...

• Do we have samples?

  We don’t currently offer samples as our supplements are designed to cover nutritional gaps in our diet, when we can't get enough of a nutrient through food. Our supplements are intended for long term use, so a quick try wouldn’t provide much benefit.
