Why It Is In There

What it does.

  • Energy And Fatigue

    Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

  • Nervous System And Blood

    B12 contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system, to normal red blood cell formation and to normal homocysteine metabolism.

  • Why 20,000% NRV

    The NRV is 2.5µg. Absorption through the active transport route saturates at a low dose, and the rest crosses by passive diffusion at roughly 1%. A high oral figure is how you land a useful amount, and B12 has no established upper limit.
