Super Vitamin B12 1500 mcg lozenges with folateVitaminstore

Vitamin B12 was discovered in 1928 and is one of the 8 vitamins from the B complex. B12 is also known as cobalamin, named after the cobalt substance which is a component of the vitamin. Cobalamin is a water-soluble vitamin essential for your body. There are different types of vitamin B12:
 
• cyanocobalamin
• methylcobalamin
• adenosylcobalamin 
• hydroxocobalamin
 
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic type of cobalamin that still needs to be converted in the stomach into the active biological types of  methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. These biologically active types are also found in our food and, unlike cyanocobalamin, are easily absorbed by the body. Hydroxocobalamin is usually not used as a tablet but is often administered monthly or every 2 months by a doctor via an injection. 
 
Where is vitamin B12 found?
Vitamin B12 is found only in animal foods such as fish, meat, dairy, and eggs. This is also why people with a vegan lifestyle are advised to monitor their vitamin B12 intake and supplement their diet with a vitamin B12 supplement.
 
Absorption of vitamin B12 in the body
Vitamin B12 can only be absorbed by the small intestine if it is bound to a substance produced by the stomach wall: intrinsic factor (IF). When the intrinsic factor is bound to B12 (the extrinsic factor), the vitamin can be absorbed into the body via the small intestine. 
 
Older people produce less intrinsic factor. The use of antacids also reduces the production of intrinsic factor. 
Another group of people who need to pay attention to their vitamin B12 absorption are those who have had a gastric reduction or a gastric bypass. In both cases, vitamin B12 absorption is permanently disrupted, and supplementation or vitamin B12 injections are necessary. 
 
What are the benefits of B12?
Vitamin B12 is important for the formation of nerve cells, for normal blood formation, and for maintaining healthy energy levels, which helps reduce fatigue. Vitamin B12 also has a positive influence on the immune system and supports a normal homocysteine metabolism. 
Vitamin B12 and folate both support the production of red blood cells. They also work better together in the breakdown of homocysteine. The intake of extra vitamin B12 will therefore increase the need for folate (folic acid).  

Vitamin B12 supplementation 
It is important when supplementing with vitamin B12 to choose the well-absorbed types of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Additionally, if digestive activity is reduced, it may be wise to choose a lozenge so that the B12 can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the oral mucosa. This bypasses the stomach and intestines, where the cause of vitamin B12 deficiency often originates.
 
Super B12 1500 mcg
Super B12 1500 mcg contains a combination of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. These co-enzymatic types of B12 no longer need to be converted in the stomach, allowing our body to use them directly. The lozenges have the advantage that no conversion in the stomach is necessary, and the oral mucosa immediately begins to absorb the active ingredients. This ensures a quick and efficient absorption of vitamin B12 by the body. Super B12 also contains Quatrefolic®, the most absorbable biologically active form of folic acid.
