Vitamin B12

High Potency Methylcobalamin Lozenge

Features methylated B12 to support healthy methylation, cognition and mood, detoxification pathways, cellular energy metabolism, and neurological function.*

This product provides 5,000 mcg of methylcobalamin in a delicious berry-flavored lozenge for maximal absorption.

• Supports healthy vitamin B12 status*
• Promotes neurological function*
• Supports healthy cellular energy metabolism*
• Helps support optimal cellular function*
• Promotes healthy detoxification pathways*
• Supports healthy cognition and mood*
• Supports healthy methylation and homocysteine metabolism *

Recommended Use: Dissolve 1 lozenge slowly in mouth per day or as directed by your health-care practitioner.

Supports healthy methylation*

Methylcobalamin, the methylated form of B12, is identical to the active form that occurs naturally within the body. Methylcobalamin may help support methylation, a biochemical process that turns biological switches on and off for various systems in the body.* When the methylation reactions function optimally, they support normal cardiovascular, neurological, detoxification, and reproductive activities.*

What This Product Is

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble micronutrient essential for normal cellular repair and function, cellular energy metabolism, and neurological function. Cobalamin must be obtained from dietary sources or through supplementation since the human body cannot produce it. More than 20 genes are known to play a role in the absorption, transport, and utilization of cobalamin from dietary sources.*

This product provides 5,000 mcg of methylcobalamin in a delicious berry-flavored lozenge for maximal absorption. Methylcobalamin, the methylated form of cobalamin, is identical to the active form that occurs inside cells. Methylcobalamin may help support methylation, a biochemical process that turns biological switches on and off for various systems in the body.* Methylation reactions are critical for DNA synthesis and repair, cellular energy metabolism, nerve cell structure and function, and red blood cell production. When the methylation cycle functions optimally, it supports normal cardiovascular, neurological, detoxification, and reproductive activities.*

Mechanism of Action

Methylcobalamin for Methylation and Cellular Function*

Methylcobalamin (5,000 mcg) is the methylated form of vitamin B12, identical to the active form that occurs inside cells. It supports methylation — a biochemical process critical for DNA synthesis and repair, cellular energy metabolism, nerve cell structure and function, and red blood cell production.* This bioavailable form may be ideal for individuals with various genetic polymorphisms involving B12 metabolism and related pathways.

Homocysteine Regulation and Cardiovascular Support*

Vitamin B12 is essential for regulating homocysteine, which plays a role in cardiovascular health.* Supplementation with this bioavailable methylcobalamin form supports optimal homocysteine metabolism and may benefit those seeking neurological and cellular health support.* The berry-flavored lozenge format provides superior absorption through the oral mucosa.

Applications

  • Individuals seeking high-dose vitamin B12 as bioavailable methylcobalamin*
  • Those wanting methylation and homocysteine metabolism support*
  • Individuals with genetic polymorphisms affecting B12 metabolism*
  • Those seeking neurological function, cognition, and mood support*
  • Individuals needing cellular energy and detoxification pathway support*

Key Ingredients / Formula Highlights

High-Dose Methylcobalamin

5,000 mcg methylcobalamin — the active, methylated form of vitamin B12 found naturally in cells. Supports methylation, DNA synthesis, nerve cell function, and red blood cell production.

Berry-Flavored Lozenge

Delicious berry flavor for lozenge absorption. Available as VB1260 (60 lozenges). Dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free. Non-GMO.

Suggested Use

Dissolve 1 lozenge slowly in mouth and swallow per day or as directed by your health-care practitioner.

Product Questions

How does Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) compare to Tricobalamin?

Vitamin B12 provides a single, high-dose form — 5,000 mcg of methylcobalamin, the methylated active form — in a berry-flavored lozenge for targeted methylation and neurological support. Tricobalamin provides 3,000 mcg of three different B12 forms (methylcobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin) in an orange-flavored lozenge for broader B12 coverage. Choose Vitamin B12 for high-dose methylcobalamin specifically, or Tricobalamin for multi-form B12 support.*

Why is methylcobalamin preferred over cyanocobalamin?

Methylcobalamin is the methylated form of cobalamin that is identical to the active form occurring inside cells. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form that must be converted by the body before use. Methylcobalamin may be particularly beneficial for individuals with genetic polymorphisms affecting B12 metabolism and related pathways, as it bypasses potential conversion issues.*

Who may benefit most from Vitamin B12?

Individuals seeking high-dose methylcobalamin for methylation and neurological support, those with genetic polymorphisms involving B12 metabolism, people wanting healthy cognition, mood, and detoxification pathway support, and anyone needing cellular energy metabolism and homocysteine regulation with a bioavailable lozenge format.*
