VITAMIN B-12 is an important B complex vitamin needed for human health. It is found in a variety of food sources, most notably meats, eggs, certain sea vegetables and fresh-water algae, as well as in nutritional yeast and yeast extracts.
Vitamin B-12 contains 5 mg of methylcobalamin in a sublingual tablet. The small tablet is designed to disintegrate within 2-3 minutes, thereby allowing Vitamin B-12 rapidly to enter the body through the large pores under the tongue.
Vitamin B-12 also contains microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol (a natural sweetener and powerful antioxidant), acerola berry extract (providing a pleasant flavor and bioflavonoids), and a small amount of Stevia rebaudiana (natural herbal sweetener).
Vitamin B-12 Offers Unique Benefits:
• SUPERIOR METHYLCOBALAMIN FORM. Coenzyme Methylcobalamin is the Preferred Form for Optimal Uptake, Assimilation, and Use in the Body. Can be Used by the Body Without Extra Metabolic Conversions Required by Other Forms.
• VERY RAPID ASSIMILATION. Small, Easy-To-Assimilate Sublingual Tablet
Provides 5 mg of Methylcobalamin. Simply Hold under your Tongue For 2-3 minutes (or until dissolved). Plus, Acerola Cherry Flavor Tastes Great!!
• SUPPORTS SYNTHESIS AND FUNCTION OF NERVE TISSUE. Nerve Tissues such as Myelin Benefit from Methylcobalamin. Helps To Rebuild, Restore, Repair, Maintain, and Heal Important Nerve Tissues.
• BOOSTS METABOLISM OF CARBOHYDRATES, FATS, AND PROTEINS. Participates in Energy Producing Pathways. Plus, Supports Conditions of Sprue.
• AIDS IN CONTROL OF PERNICIOUS ANEMIA and Formation of Red Blood Cells.
• USEFUL IN PROTOCOLS FOR ASTHMA AND SULFITE SENSITIVITY. Also helpful in Detoxification of Brain Tissue and Mental Dysfunction (especially in the elderly) (see below).
• MOST EFFECTIVE AS PART OF A COMPLETE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM. A complete core program begins with a Multivitamin, Essential Fats, and a Vitamin C formula. Additional supplements may then be added depending on individual needs. The effectiveness of Vitamin B-12 significantly may be improved by a core nutritional supplement progam.
NUTRITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND APPLICATIONS:
Vitamin B-12 is Involved in Numerous Important Body Functions, Including:
• Red blood cell formation and control of pernicious anemia.
• Synthesis and function of nerve tissues, such as myelin.
• Metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the conversion of methylmalonate to succinic acid, an important Krebs cycle intermediate in energy production.
• Synthesis or transfer of single carbon units., e.g., allowing the interconversion of serine and glycine and the conversion of homocysteine to methionine.
• Serving as a coenzyme in the biosynthesis of methyl groups.
• Involvement in reactions that convert disulfides (S-S) to the important sulfhydryl group (S-H).
• Methylcobalamin is one of two coenzyme forms of Vitamin B-12 (along with adenosylcobalamin) and can be used directly by the body without metabolic conversion.
APPLICATIONS For METHYLCOBALMIN Include Use As An Adjunct In Protocols For:
• Improving and/or eliminating pernicious anemia.
• Improving symtoms of celiac disease.
• Reduction of homocysteine levels (used in conjunction with folate and Vitamin B6).
•Improvement of mental dysfunction in the elderly.
• Useful in protocols for asthma and sulfite sensitivity.
• Proven beneficial for symptoms of depression (i.e., supporting the production of serotonin and melatonin).
• Prevention and improvement of peripheral nerve damage in conditions including diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and those caused by chemotherapy (daily dosages up to 60 mg may be needed). Used as an adjunct in protocols for various neuropathies, including peripheral neuropathy and diabetic neuropathy.
• Detoxification, especially of protocols for dextofication of brain tissue.
• Helpful adjunct in treatments for tinnitis.
• Supportive treatment in AIDS.
• Useful adjunct in treatments for low sperm counts.
• In addition to absorption in the human intestine by active transport with intrinic factor, methylcobalamin is absorbed by the process of passive diffusion at a rate of 1-2% of the ingested amount.
