Vitamin B-12 supports energy metabolism, red blood cell production, and nervous system health.†
Vitamin B-12 is a member of the B-complex family of water-soluble vitamins with numerous essential functions in the body, including stimulating red blood cell production, supporting healthy nerve function, and metabolizing homocysteine.† Low levels of vitamin B-12 are commonly seen in vegetarians and vegans, as plant foods lack B-12, and in elderly individuals whose ability to absorb B-12 from food is limited. Absorption of B-12 requires a protein called intrinsic factor, secreted by cells in the stomach — older adults produce less intrinsic factor and therefore absorb less B-12. This formula is delivered as a tablet that dissolves in the mouth, allowing B-12 to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream and bypassing potential GI absorption concerns.†
Features

- Dissolves in the mouth for direct bloodstream absorption — ideal for those with absorption concerns
- Free of sugar, dairy, gluten, soy, corn, yeast, and artificial colors or flavors
- Ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and older adults
Benefits
- Energy Metabolism — B-12 as cyanocobalamin is converted in the body to the active coenzyme forms methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin, which drive cellular energy production.†
- Homocysteine Metabolism — B-12 converts homocysteine to methionine, supporting healthy blood homocysteine levels.†
- Brain & Liver Support — B-12 donates a methyl group to form SAMe (s-adenosylmethionine), which helps support healthy brain function and liver detoxification.†
- Nervous System Health — B-12 is essential for the production of myelin, the protective fatty layer that insulates and supports healthy nervous system function.†
- Metabolism — B-12, along with Biotin, helps support fatty acid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism.†
- Red Blood Cell Production — B-12 and folic acid are required for healthy red blood cell production via normal DNA synthesis. Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body.†
- Absorption Advantage — B-12 deficiency risk increases with age due to declining intrinsic factor production. Tablet dissolution in the mouth allows direct absorption, bypassing the need for intrinsic factor.†
