Is this along the lines of correcting phase 1 and 2 detox pathways in liver? Like what MTHFR treatments are?
This seems like a good food grade source.
***Folate, B6 & B12 is skillfully crafted to help maintain healthy levels of homocysteine in the body. The formula is enriched by the inclusion of beet root, an excellent food source of the methyl donors, folate and betaine.
Sufficient body stores of methyl donors are required for the conversion of homocysteine to the amino acid methionine.
Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with fat accumulation and damage to various tissue and organ systems. In addition, the methylation factors including folate, vitamin B-12 or betaine are helpful in promoting normal production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, and in the maintenance of the myelin sheath.s Folate, B6 & B12 provides specialized nutritional support from 100% whole foods.

Hey Canefan, My first thought was that it looks great. But now I don't know.... for MTHFR we need the methylated version of folic acid. This probably does not provide that.
I'd like to see what others have to say about this.
