Our vitamin B12 lozenges are a practical approach to ensure appropriate B12 levels, which support healthy homocysteine levels, brain health, and cognition. They can be chewed or dissolved in the mouth.
Cobalamin, another name for vitamin B12, is a water-soluble vitamin. It aids in DNA synthesis and promotes the health of blood and nerve cells. While we often obtain it from animal-based or fortified foods, aging-related digestive problems can have an impact on absorption.
Maintaining optimum amounts of vitamin B12 is typically hardest for vegetarians and the elderly.
- Helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels (a marker of cardiovascular, neurological & general health)
- Supports brain health & cognition
- Important for red blood cell production
There are eight different B vitamins, and each one plays a crucial part in preserving overall health. An active form of vitamin B12 in the central nervous system is methylcobalamin. It is necessary for cell development and replication. Each of our lozenges contains 500 mcg of methylcobalamin.
Dairy products and eggs are two examples of foods with animal origin that include vitamin B12. The insufficiency of this critical component, which can be brought on by inadequate dietary intake, insufficient B12 bioavailability, or poor B12 absorption, is particularly common in vegetarians and the elderly. B12 bioavailability may be impacted by the age-related decline in hydrochloric acid generation.
Dissolve in mouth or chew one (1) lozenge daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.

While 1 mg suffices for most, higher doses provide reliable support when absorption is compromised.Posted by on Saturday, May 2, 2026

1voteA: Yes — B12 is one of the safest vitamins. Excess intake is excreted in urine and there is no established upper limit due to its safety profile. High-dose B12 has been used clinically without adverse effects.Posted by on Saturday, May 2, 2026
