Supplement

Vitamine B12

Cobalamine

Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products. Those who follow a vegan diet, eat mostly plant-based, or are older are at an increased risk of deficiency.

Common uses

Supplementation for a plant-based diet or at an older age
Support for energy and the nervous system

Dosage & use

Supplement forms vary greatly in dosage. Follow the advice or have your levels checked.

Cautions

A deficiency can cause irreversible damage — have symptoms investigated instead of continuing to supplement on your own.
