Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is vital to many aspects of your well-being, commonly found in diets that contain meat. Those with a plant-based or vegan diet may intake less B12. Taking a supplement is a simple way to gain a daily source of B12.

Cyanocobalamin is one of the most common forms of vitamin B12 that can be easily absorbed via tablet, capsule, or pill. While our bodies can also absorb vitamin B12 from food sources, it’s almost exclusively found in animal products. In the U.S., approximately 6% of adults younger than 60 have a deficiency of B12. If you’re following a vegan diet or managing a B12 deficiency, it may be beneficial to supplement your diet with this vitamin.

The amount of vitamin B12 you take each day may depend on your diet and B12 vitamin levels. We’ve formulated our once-daily B12 supplement to provide key support to your overall wellness at 500 mcg, but you should always check with a healthcare professional for guidance when starting any vitamin supplementation.

Our Vitamin B12 supplements are designed for daily support, but we recommend checking in with your healthcare provider to determine a regimen that works for you before you start supplementing.

Vitamin B12 supports metabolic function and the formation of red blood cells, which may positively impact energy and endurance levels by carrying oxygen through the body.*
