Vitamin B13

Vitamin B13 is a pyrimidine monocarboxylic acid known as a conjugate acid of orotate. It is naturally produced in the human body through a certain mitochondrial enzyme or a cytoplasmic enzyme. During its early days of discovery, Vitamin B13 was considered a component of the Vitamin B complex called Vitamin B13. However, with modern clinical research, Vitamin B13 plays a vital role as a vitamin and mineral carrier; thus, it is no longer considered a vitamin. The compound is medically used to treat liver dysfunction along with Xanthine.

Vitamin B13 is a fast-growing health supplement ingredient for its effects in enhancing the absorption of nutrients and promoting weight loss and lean muscle mass development.
