Methyl B12 – 15 mg is a high-dose formulation of methylcobalamin, a source of vitamin B12 that helps to prevent vitamin B12 deficiency. While the Recommended Dietary Allowance for vitamin B12 in Canada is just 2.4 micrograms and the upper limit is just 1 milligram, AOR’s Methyl B12 – 15 mg provides an ultra-high, clinically effective dosage of the most bioavailable form of vitamin B12 in a convenient and delicious tasting lozenge form.
Methyl B12 provides a high dose of the active, coenzyme form of vitamin B12. Cyanocobalamin, the most common form of supplemental B12, must be converted first into hydroxocobalamin, and then into adenosylcobalamin, which is finally converted into methylcobalamin. Taking methylcobalamin directly allows you to bypass this extensive conversion process, and is optimal since it is the specific form of B12 shown to support the brain and nervous system.
AOR’s Methyl B12 provides 15 mg in an easy-to-take, pleasant-tasting lozenge. This ultra-high dose formula has been shown to be safe and effective for people with diagnosed deficiencies. Additionally, vegetarians, elderly people, those suffering from pernicious or megaloblastic anemia, atrophic gastritis, Celiac disease, Crohn’s disease or other types of inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders may benefit from high doses of methylcobalamin.
