Cytoplan Vitamin B12 Non-Methylated (Hydroxocobalamin 1mg) 60 Tablets

Description

High potency vitamin B12 supplement in its neutral, non-methylated hydroxocobalamin form. The tablet can be dissolved under the tongue (sublingual) for rapid absorption directly into the blood, and faster action.

Some people prefer the neutral form of B12 as they may tolerate it better than other more active forms.

Vitamin B12 supports multiple functions including nerve health and neurotransmitter function (e.g., helping to produce adrenaline and melatonin), cognition, energy production, reduction of homocysteine (a chemical linked to reduced cardiovascular and nerve function), immune function, and formation of red blood cells.

People at particular risk of vitamin B12 deficiency include those eating a vegan or vegetarian diet, 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, Crohns, 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.
