Cobalamin (Vitamin B12) and folate are chiefly response for DNA/RNA production as critical cofactors.
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that plays a role in DNA synthesis. As an essential vitamin it’s only obtained through the pet’s diet. Low B12 values can indicate diet deficiency or the presence of disease that inhibits absorption. VDI provides patient-specific dosing guidelines to get patients to normal.
