Vitamine B12 Kids Ultra 25 mcg
VitaminFit Ultra Vitamin B12 25 ug Kids drops high dose for children. Good support for a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is the only water-soluble vitamin that the body stores as a reserve supply. If your child does not get enough vitamin B12 for a long time, a deficiency can develop. Unfortunately, this only becomes noticeable after a long time, because the body first uses up its reserve supply.
During the first few months, a baby gets enough vitamin B12 from breast milk or formula. Gradually, the baby will transition to solid foods. For toddlers and children, the amount of vitamin B12 they get depends on their diet, because our bodies cannot produce vitamin B12 on their own.
We mainly obtain vitamin B12 from animal foods. Anyone who eats a largely plant-based diet is therefore advised to take vitamin B12 supplements to maintain their body's reserves.
Why B12 Ultra Children's Drops from VitaminFit?
VitaminFit B12 Ultra Children's Drops contain the biologically active forms methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, which are absorbed directly by the body and can be used immediately without conversion. This means fast absorption and immediate effect.
It contributes to more energy, a clear mind and a properly functioning nervous system. This natural B12 in drop form is absorbed directly through the oral mucosa and is easy to dose. This 100% natural and plant-based formula is completely free from synthetic additives, sweeteners and sugars. Pure and effective with the power of nature.
Nutritional value of ingredients
Contents: 30ml.Composition per 15 drops with pipette 0.9ml (daily dose):
Vitamin B12 25ug, of which methylcobalamin 20ug, adenosylcobalamin 5ug = 4000% RDA*
* RDA is the recommended daily allowance for adults.
Ingredients: Filtered water, vegetable glycerine (from coconut oil), vitamin B12 in its natural active form methyl & adenosylcobalamin, natural cherry extract.
Dosage and use
Recommended daily dosage for children: 15 drops with dosing pipette
Vitamin B12 from a supplement is less easily absorbed than from animal foods. This means that the dosage from a supplement is slightly higher. We therefore recommend taking 15 drops as a daily dose, regardless of age. Vitamin B12 as a supplement has no safe upper limit for intake, so there is no maximum dosage.
Intake: Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin and is best taken in the morning or at lunchtime with a meal. It is recommended to mix the drops in a glass of water or food.
You can easily adjust the drops as needed. This depends on your diet and whether you still eat animal products (e.g. dairy, occasional meat) or if animal products are no longer part of your diet.
Where is vitamin B12 found in food?
Vitamin B12 is mainly found in foods of animal origin such as meat, meat products, dairy products, fish and eggs.
Which form of vitamin B12?
VitaminFit Ultra B12 Kids drops contain the biologically active form methyl & adenosylcobalamin. The drops are absorbed directly into the body through the oral mucosa. These forms therefore do not need to be converted in the body.
Taking methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin (the two bioactive forms of vitamin B12) at the same time has advantages, especially if you want to be sure that the body is optimally supported on all fronts, especially in children or people with increased needs.
Why are both forms of B12 important for children?
Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin both play an important role in the growth and development of children:
Supporting brain development: Methylcobalamin is mainly involved in the production of neurotransmitters and the protection of nerve cells. For children, this is important for learning, concentration and emotional balance.
Energy production and muscle function: Adenosylcobalamin works in the mitochondria (the ‘energy factories’ of the cells), where it helps convert fats and proteins into energy. It helps the body convert fats and proteins into energy, which is especially important for active children who are growing.
Blood formation and oxygen transport: Both forms of B12 are necessary for the production of red blood cells, which is important for preventing fatigue and transporting oxygen properly throughout the body.
DNA production and cell growth: Both forms of B12 contribute to proper cell division and growth, which is essential for the development of bones, muscles and organs.
Immune system support: Vitamin B12 contributes to a properly functioning immune system, which ensures better resistance.
Who needs this extra?
- Growing children, because they need a lot of energy and a well-functioning nervous system.
- Children on a vegetarian or vegan diet, because B12 is mainly found in animal products.
- Children with reduced B12 absorption (e.g. due to stomach problems or genetic factors).
Why both together?
Two different functions in the body: Methylcobalamin works in the cell nucleus, where it aids DNA synthesis and nerve function. Adenosylcobalamin works in the mitochondria, where it is needed for energy production and metabolism. Together, they cover all the functions of vitamin B12.
Better absorption and distribution: Some people (including children) may have difficulty converting the standard form of B12 (cyanocobalamin) into these active forms. By actively providing both forms, you ensure that the body always has access to what it needs, depending on where it is needed (nerves, brain, energy).
Additional effect in cases of neurological imbalance: In cases of concentration problems, fatigue, behavioural problems or neurological symptoms (e.g. in autism or ADHD), a combination of both forms is often chosen because they support the brain and nerve pathways in different ways.
Natural and easily absorbed: These forms (methyl and adenosyl) are biologically active forms, so a child's body does not need to convert them. This is beneficial in cases of digestive problems or genetic variations such as MTHFR.
Giving methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin as vitamin B12 supplements is a good choice, especially because these forms are directly active in the body. This means that they do not need to be converted first, which makes them more efficient and better absorbed than synthetic forms such as cyanocobalamin.

Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Vitamin B12 deficiency in babies depends on the amount of vitamin B12 they have received during pregnancy and therefore on the mother's B12 status.
Normally, newborn babies have 25 ug of vitamin B12 in their liver. This amount is sufficient until the end of the first year of life. The supply is lower if the mother had a vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy.
How to give it to babies and children?
Water-based vitamin B12 drops can be mixed into drinks. The drops can also be given pure on a spoon, depending on age. For babies, the drops can be mixed into food or a bottle, but it is important that the drops are added after heating.
Recommended supplementation for vegan children
Children who do not eat animal products need extra vitamin B12 daily through a supplement. This is because the absorption of B12 from supplements is much less efficient than from food. Only a small portion is actually absorbed by the body. Therefore, a higher dosage is necessary: 25 ug per day is a common amount for children who eat little or no animal products.
A daily dose is essential for consistent absorption, especially in young children. Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are recommended because they are directly effective in the body.
