MecobalActive® is environmentally stable thanks to its Green Chemistry based Production Process.
The Green Process
• Environmentally Friendly: HeathTech BioActive’s (proprietary) production process breaks with traditional methylcobalamin manufacturing by using biodegradableviii methyl group donor dimethyl carbonate, an environmentally friendly, VOC-exempt, green re-agentix. Traditional methylcobalamin manufacturing processes use methyl iodide or dimethyl sulfate, which are both highly toxic and environmentally hazardous.
• Cal Prop 65 Compliant: MecobalActive® methylcobalamin uses a patented production of iron salts as the methylation reaction catalyst. Typical methylcobalamin manufacturing processes use cobalt salts, which are highly carcinogenic and appear on Cal Prop 65’s list of known cancer-causing chemicals.
• Patented: Supports HTBA’s unique process.
• Pure and stable: Remarkably pure, with a five-year shelf life* (stability studies are ongoing).
• 62% of millenials will pay more for products made with environmentally responsible practices.vii
• Regulatory: Self-affirmed GRAS in supplements and food.
