The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
Life Extension's BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 combines active folate with methylcobalamin in a 90 capsule bottle, enough for roughly three months at one capsule a day. It is unflavored and swallowed rather than chewed or dissolved, which fits people who prefer a plain capsule routine over flavored lozenges or gummies.
The formula is vegetarian and made without gluten, and the maker markets it for digestive health support and to help support normal red blood cell production. At under 10 dollars for 90 capsules, it lands on the affordable end of two-in-one B12 and folate products.
With 3,600 ratings averaging 4.7 stars and about 4,000 bought in a recent month, the reviews suggest steady repeat demand from vegetarian shoppers who wanted a combined formula rather than separate bottles.

Does it need to be refrigerated?
The listing does not indicate refrigeration is required, since it ships as a shelf stable capsule. Store it as directed on the label.
