Vitamin B12 - 60 vegan tabs (EAN 5060202188260)

About our Vitamin B12 supplement 

Not all forms of vitamin B12 are equally effective at supporting B12 levels in the body. Our B12 supplement is provided in capsule form and contains the active, bioavailable forms - methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin to support optimal absorption, utilisation, and retention. Because these forms are already active, the body can use them efficiently without the need for conversion. 

Benefits of vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 supports energy metabolism and red blood cell formation, reducing tiredness and fatigue. Adenosylcobalamin is particularly active as a cofactor in mitochondrial energy production.  Methylcobalamin promotes healthy methylation, reducing homocysteine (a chemical linked to reduced cardiovascular and nerve function) and supporting cellular health, immune function, nerve cell structure and function, detoxification, and healthy neurotransmitter balance, including serotonin and melatonin.  

Who might benefit from taking a B12 supplement? 

People at particular risk of vitamin B12 deficiency include those eating a vegan or vegetarian diet, older adults, and people with low stomach acid or using medications that reduce it (e.g. antacids, proton pump inhibitors, blockers) or other digestive conditions which can lead to malabsorption (e.g., gastritis, Crohn’s, coeliac disease). People suffering from a condition called Pernicious Anaemia lack sufficient ‘Intrinsic Factor’ needed to bind and absorb B12 from foods are particularly susceptible to B12 deficiency and the resulting impact on reduced red blood cell formation.
