Despite its importance, many Canadians don't get enough from food alone, especially those following vegetarian or vegan diets. That's where a high-quality supplement like our methylcobalamin lozenges can help fill the gap. Older adults, people with digestive conditions, and those taking certain medications may also have trouble absorbing B12, making supplementation a wise choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Roles of Vitamin B12 in Your Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin B12 plays several essential roles in maintaining your health:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy Metabolism:\u003c\/strong\u003e B12 helps your body convert food into usable energy, supporting normal energy-yielding metabolism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNervous System Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e It contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, including the maintenance of myelin sheaths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Blood Cell Formation:\u003c\/strong\u003e B12 is necessary for the formation of healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout your body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeart Health:\u003c\/strong\u003e Along with folate and vitamin B6, B12 helps regulate homocysteine levels, which is important for cardiovascular health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is a natural health product.

Methylcobalamin is the naturally occurring, bioactive form that your body can use right away, without needing to convert it. This is particularly beneficial for people with methylation issues or those who prefer to avoid synthetic cyanocobalamin. Our sublingual lozenges dissolve under the tongue, allowing B12 to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, bypassing potential digestive barriers. They come in a pleasant black cherry flavour and are free from artificial colours, artificial flavors, animal derivatives, dairy, fish, gluten, nuts, salt, soy, and wheat. They are suitable for vegans and those with common dietary restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Take Your B12 Lozenges\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a dietary supplement, dissolve one (1) lozenge in your mouth before swallowing. Each lozenge delivers 1,000 mcg (1000 µg) of methylcobalamin, a high-potency dose that helps maintain optimal B12 levels. For most adults, taking one lozenge daily with a meal is sufficient, but needs may vary. Always follow the recommended serving size unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan you take too much B12?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitamin B12 is water-soluble, meaning excess amounts are typically excreted in urine. It is considered safe even at high doses, with No established upper limit. However, it is always wise to consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this B12 suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
