Brand: Mason Natural · Form: TABLET [E0155] On Market
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this combination of B vitamins — folic acid, B6, and B12 — plays a well-documented role in supporting your body’s energy metabolism and cardiovascular health. However, the specific benefits for you depend on your individual nutritional status. Data not available for ingredient-specific dosage or formulation from the provided label.
How it works
Think of these B vitamins as a team of co-workers — they help convert the food you eat into usable energy and support your nervous system. Folic acid, B6, and B12 work together to regulate homocysteine levels, an amino acid linked to heart health [NIH ODS]. Calcium, also listed in the data, supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause constipation, nausea, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data] [NIH ODS]. Data not available for adverse event report counts specific to this product.
Our recommendation
Start by checking your diet — most adults get enough B vitamins from food. If you are considering this supplement, be aware that calcium can reduce absorption of medications like tetracycline antibiotics and levothyroxine [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you take prescription medications or have a history of kidney stones.
