Together they support energy production, healthy red blood cell formation, nervous system health, brain function, mood, and the methylation cycle — a fundamental biochemical process that affects everything from DNA repair to detoxification to neurotransmitter production.

Standard folate supplements often use folic acid — which requires multiple enzymatic conversion steps. For people with MTHFR variants or impaired digestion, these conversions are inefficient. Solaray uses Methylcobalamin (the active, neurologically preferred form of B12) and Quatrefolic® (a patented, clinically researched active folate — the same (6S)-5-MTHF form the body uses directly). No conversion needed — just immediate, direct utilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy a sublingual lozenge?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eB12 in particular is notoriously difficult to absorb through the digestive system — it requires a special protein called intrinsic factor, which many people (especially older adults) produce in insufficient amounts. Sublingual delivery — dissolving the lozenge under the tongue — allows B12 and folate to be absorbed directly through the mucous membranes into the bloodstream, completely bypassing the digestive system. This makes sublingual lozenges one of the most effective delivery formats for B12 supplementation, rivalling injections for those with absorption issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin B-12 2,000 mcg as Methylcobalamin — 83,333% DV — active, neurologically preferred form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolate 800 mcg DFE as Quatrefolic® (6S)-5-MTHF — 200% DV — active, directly utilisable form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSublingual lozenge — superior absorption, bypasses digestive system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports energy production and reduces fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports brain health, cognitive function, and mood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports nervous system health and healthy nerve function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy red blood cell formation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the methylation cycle — DNA repair, detoxification, neurotransmitter production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports prenatal health — active folate critical for neural tube development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for MTHFR gene variant carriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelicious natural cherry flavour — sweetened with xylitol and stevia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains organic inulin — prebiotic fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan, lab verified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 lozenges — 60-day supply at 1 lozenge daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Solaray — trusted supplements since 1973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFormula\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach lozenge delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolate\u003c\/strong\u003e (as Quatrefolic® (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Glucosamine Salt): 800 mcg DFE (470 mcg folic acid equivalent) | 200% DV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin B-12\u003c\/strong\u003e (as Methylcobalamin): 2,000 mcg | 83,333% DV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplement facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServing size: 1 lozenge | 60 servings per container\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOther ingredients\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrganic inulin, xylitol, natural cherry flavour with other natural flavours, silica, citric acid, malic acid, stevia (leaf extract).
