Vitamin B-12 is a member of the B-complex family of water-soluble vitamins and has numerous functions in the body including stimulating red blood cell production, support of healthy nerve function and the metabolism of homocysteine. Low levels of vitamin B-12 is often seen in vegetarians, as plant foods lack vitamin B-12, and in elderly people as their ability to absorb B-12 from food is limited. The absorption of B-12 requires a protein, which is secreted by cells in the stomach, called intrinsic factor. Elderly people secrete less intrinsic factor and therefore absorb less vitamin B-12. A Methyl B-12 in a lozenge form is delivers greater amount of B-12 into the bloodstream. This helps provide significant amounts of B-12 in its more active form.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh potency formula contains 1,000 mcg of methylcobalamin, the most bioavailable form of Vitamin B-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient dosage; lozenge dissolves under the tongue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat tasting cherry flavor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten Free, Non GMO and Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains No dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin is more bioactive than cyanocobalamin, which must convert in the liver to the active coenzyme form methylcobalamin before it can function in the body.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin aids in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, supporting healthy blood homocysteine levels.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal source for vegan\/vegetarians who are at greater risk for vitamin B-12 deficiency.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin helps donate a methyl group to form SAMe (s- adenosylmethionine) which helps support healthy brain function and liver detoxification.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin is essential for the production of normal, healthy myelin; protects the nervous system and supports its function.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin B-12 supports healthy red blood cell production, essential for oxygen transport throughout the body.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin B-12 deficiency generally increases with age because of decreased levels of intrinsic factor a protein normally produced by the stomach and which aids in B12 absorption.\u003csup\u003e†\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RELIANCE - 82","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43682148712545,"sku":"9722","price":10.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/9652\/0033\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_825fd6a8-a5d0-4a8e-a9f8-3b71f392294e.png?v=1773644596","url":"https:\/\/alchepharmanaturals.com\/products\/methyl-b-12-1000-mg-lozenges","provider":"AlchePharma Naturals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
