Vitamin B12 1000 mcg capsules
Vitamin B12 is one of the best-known vitamins in the B complex. It is water-soluble and cannot be stored by the body. We are therefore dependent on obtaining it from food or supplements.
Vitamin B12 is also known as cobalamin. Many people have a deficiency of this vitamin. This can be due to a variety of causes. However, deficiencies mainly occur when little or no animal products are consumed. In the event of a deficiency, high doses of vitamin B12 may be necessary to restore B12 levels in the blood.
Why choose B12 1000 ug from VitaminFit?
VitaminFit's vitamin B12 capsules offer a unique combination of two biologically active forms of B12: methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. These forms of vitamin B12 do not need to be converted by the stomach and intestines.
The combination of plants in a supplement such as B12 with a phyto matrix of ginger root, holy basil and rosemary revolves around synergistic effects: the plant extracts reinforce each other's effects and support the absorption or action of vitamin B12 in the body.
The capsules are free from artificial additives, fillers and animal ingredients. They are completely natural and plant-based, making them suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Where is vitamin B12 found?
Cobalamin is found almost exclusively in animal products such as meat, meat products, dairy products, fish and eggs.
Who can benefit from vitamin B12?
People who eat little or no animal products. Vegetarians and vegans are therefore advised to take a B12 supplement. However, vitamin B12 can also be beneficial for people whose absorption of B12 via the normal route (with intrinsic factor in the stomach) is reduced.
Which natural form of B12?
VitaminFit's vitamin B12 capsules contain the biologically active forms methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. The advantage of these forms of cobalamin over other forms of cobalamins, such as the synthetic form cyanocobalamin, is that when ingested, people immediately have access to biologically active forms of vitamin B12.
These forms of vitamin B12 no longer need to be converted by the stomach and intestines. They can be absorbed directly by the body.
B12 combi Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin
A combination of two bioactive forms can be used when there is a greater need for energy and mental support (adenosylcobalamin) and fatigue is also present in the body (methylcobalamin). This is a very good combination of the two forms of vitamin B12 in one supplement.
Plant extracts present
In addition to the two forms of B12, the capsule also contains three types of plant extracts that contribute to the immune system and have been known for centuries for their supportive properties.
Holy basil, also known in Ayurvedic medicine as the Tulsi plant, contributes to mood*, mental and cognitive activity*, among other things.
Research has shown that the antioxidants and bioactive substances in ginger can have a positive effect on concentration and thinking ability. Rosemary is an antioxidant and protects the body against free radicals. Rosemary has been used for centuries for its many health benefits, including its ability to improve memory and mood.

When is a high dose of B12 recommended?
Extra vitamin B12 is very important as a supplement for vegans, but a B12 supplement can also be important for older people. As we age, vitamin B12 is less easily absorbed by the body and a deficiency can develop. Some commonly prescribed medications, such as antacids, also limit the absorption of vitamin B12.
If necessary, your GP can test your blood if you have symptoms or think you may have a vitamin B12 deficiency. The first symptoms that may occur with a vitamin B12 deficiency include pale skin, feeling weak and tired, loss of appetite and light-headedness. But tingling in the fingers, a painful or burning tongue and weight loss can also be symptoms. Ask your doctor to check your vitamin B12 levels if you have any symptoms.
If the test shows that you have too little vitamin B12 in your blood, a higher dose of vitamin B12 may be necessary. A low-normal B12 level (148 to 250 pmol/l) may indicate a vitamin B12 deficiency.
