Vitamin B12, 180 pellets

Vitamin B12 in active form

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) was first discovered in 1948. It is a very complex, large molecule and is required for the development of all cells in the body. Nerve cells in particular suffer from a deficiency. The best-selling B12 is the cheap cyanocobalamin. Although this is effective, it is not optimal as it first has to be converted for absorption, releasing the not entirely uncritical cyanic compound (better known as hydrocyanic acid).

Methylcobalamin is the form required by the body and is much better absorbed without conversion.

Who needs to pay attention to vitamin B12?

Vegans and, in some cases, vegetarians who do not consume milk or eggs must ensure that they have enough vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is absorbed in the large intestine, but a significant proportion is formed by the bacteria in the large intestine.
People with chronic intestinal problems (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) must therefore pay close attention to their vitamin B12 supply, as must people without a large intestine (e.g. after colon cancer surgery).
A major advantage of B12 in spray form is that a large proportion of the vitamin B12 is absorbed immediately via the oral mucosa.
