Solgar Vitamin B-12 1000 μg, 100 Nuggets Sublingual-Chewable

Vitamin B12 is vital for the health of the nervous system and for the formation of red blood cells. It is also essential for the functioning of the bone marrow and for the immune system. B12 as a donor of methyl groups promotes the reduction of high levels of homocysteine to safe limits and thereby acts as a cardioprotective agent. It is also useful in cases of deficiency, which is common in vegetarians and the elderly.

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy efficiency metabolism, normal nervous system function, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal psychological function, normal red blood cell formation, normal immune system function, fatigue reduction.

Vitamin B12 to be used by the body first needs to be converted endogenously to methylcobalamin by the effect of the MTRR enzyme. For many people this endogenous conversion is inadequate due to various causes such as genetic abnormalities in the MTRR enzyme gene and conditions such as malignant anemia and diabetes. Studies have shown that B12 in the form of methylcobalamin is directly active upon its absorption. Additionally B12 as a sublingual tablet has better absorption through the oral mucosa.
