Vitamin B12 is a member of the B Vitamin family of nutrients. Vitamin B-12 (NOW’s B-12 is referred to as Cyanocobalamin, a form that the body easily converts to other, more active forms) is water soluble and is widely used as an energy supplement, it promotes this function through its role in energy metabolism through its involvement in DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. B-12 also promotes a healthy nervous system, supports normal homocysteine levels which lead to support of cardiovascular health and is involved in protein and fat metabolism.
Vitamin B-12 by NOW comes in sublingual lozenges, a unique delivery system that allows for rapid absorption because it bypasses the digestive process. Tablets and capsules must undergo digestion and B-12 is not always adequately absorbed. Lozenges provide a much more effective means of taking B-12 due to more complete absorption.
It’s important to note that these lozenges should be allowed to dissolve slowly under the tongue for full effects.
