NOW Foods Vitamin B-12 5,000 mcg – 60 Lozenges

NOW Foods Vitamin B-12 5,000 mcg – 60 Lozenges is a high-potency vitamin supplement combining 5,000 mcg of Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) with 400 mcg of Folic Acid in a convenient dissolvable lozenge.

Designed to support normal energy metabolism, nervous-system function, red blood cell formation and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, this specialised formula brings together two essential B-group vitamins in a practical once-daily format.

Vitamin B12 and Folate work together in important physiological processes, including normal homocysteine metabolism and cell division.

5,000 mcg Vitamin B12 — High-Potency Nutritional Support

Each lozenge provides 5,000 mcg (5 mg) of Vitamin B12, supplied as Cyanocobalamin.

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin essential for several normal biological processes.

It is naturally present mainly in animal-derived foods, including meat, fish, eggs and dairy products.

People following vegan diets need reliable sources of Vitamin B12 through fortified foods or appropriate supplementation.

NOW Foods provides a concentrated B12 formula intended to complement nutritional requirements when a high-strength supplement is considered appropriate.

Energy Metabolism & Reduction of Fatigue

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.

It participates in metabolic processes involved in the body's normal utilisation of nutrients.

Vitamin B12 also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These recognised nutritional functions make adequate B12 intake important for everyday health and normal energy metabolism.

However, taking additional B12 does not necessarily increase energy, endurance or physical performance when Vitamin B12 status is already adequate.

Nervous-System Health

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal nervous-system function.

It is involved in physiological processes associated with normal neurological function and the maintenance of nervous tissue.

Adequate Vitamin B12 is important throughout adult life.

The vitamin also contributes to normal psychological function.

A persistent Vitamin B12 deficiency may be associated with neurological symptoms, but diagnosed deficiency requires appropriate medical assessment and management.

Normal Red Blood Cell Formation

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation.

Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.

Vitamin B12 is involved in the normal processes required for the formation and maturation of these cells.

Adequate intake is therefore important for maintaining normal blood-related physiological functions.

The product should not be presented as a treatment for anaemia without medical supervision.

400 mcg Folic Acid — Complementary B-Vitamin Support

NOW Foods Vitamin B-12 also contains 400 mcg of Folic Acid, a supplemental form of Vitamin B9.

Folate contributes to:

• Normal Blood Formation

• Normal Homocysteine Metabolism

• Normal Psychological Function

• Normal Immune-System Function

• Reduction of Tiredness and Fatigue

• Normal Amino-Acid Synthesis

• The Process of Cell Division

The combination of Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid provides complementary nutritional support for several essential metabolic processes.

Normal Homocysteine Metabolism

Vitamin B12 and Folate both contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism.

Homocysteine is an amino-acid-related compound involved in normal metabolic pathways.

Vitamin B12 and Folate participate in processes that convert homocysteine into other substances used by the body.

This recognised nutritional role does not mean the supplement is proven to prevent cardiovascular disease or replace prescribed medical treatment.

Supports Normal Cell Division

Vitamin B12 and Folate both have a role in the process of cell division.

These nutrients participate in normal DNA-related and cellular processes.

Their roles are particularly relevant to tissues where cells divide regularly.

Adequate intake helps maintain normal nutritional support for these physiological functions.

Suitable for Vegetarian & Vegan Diets

Vitamin B12 naturally occurs predominantly in animal-derived foods.

Consequently, individuals following vegan diets must ensure adequate Vitamin B12 intake from reliable dietary sources.

NOW Foods Vitamin B-12 is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets according to the manufacturer.

Its convenient lozenge format offers an alternative to conventional capsules.

The product also contains Folic Acid, another essential B-group vitamin.

Convenient Dissolvable Lozenge

Unlike conventional hard tablets or capsules, NOW Foods Vitamin B-12 is supplied as a flavoured lozenge.

The manufacturer recommends taking one lozenge daily with a meal.

The lozenge can be held in the mouth until fully dissolved before swallowing.

The historical product instructions also permit chewing the lozenge.

This format provides a convenient option for individuals who prefer not to swallow large tablets or capsules.

High-Potency Formula — Individual Needs Matter

Each lozenge provides 5,000 mcg of Vitamin B12, a quantity substantially higher than normal daily nutritional requirements.

High-dose Vitamin B12 supplements may be appropriate in selected situations, including certain medically assessed cases of inadequate intake or impaired absorption.

However, not everyone requires such a concentrated supplement.

The actual amount of Vitamin B12 absorbed depends on several factors, and increasing the dose does not necessarily produce proportionally greater absorption or benefits.

A healthcare professional can assess individual Vitamin B12 status and determine whether supplementation at this strength is appropriate.
