Vitamin B12 is a member of the B-complex of vitamins, normally needed in only minute amounts. Vitamin B12:

- Is necessary for the formation and regeneration of red blood cells which prevents anemia

- Promotes growth and increases appetite in children

- Increases energy

Maintains a healthy nervous system
Many elderly people suffering from neurological impairment find that B12 supplementation greatly improves their cognitive function. Published studies show that vitamin B12 in supplement form is absorbed better by elderly people than vitamin B12 that is bound to food. Vitamin B12 is only found in animal source foods and is often deficient in vegetarian diets.

Japanese scientists have identified a form of vitamin B12 that protects against neurological disease and aging by a unique mechanism that differs from current therapies. Some of the diseases that may be prevented or treated by this natural vitamin therapy include Parkinson’s disease, peripheral neuropathies, Alzheimer’s disease, muscular dystrophy, and neurological aging. Americans have immediate access to thisvitamin B12 analog and unlike prescription drugs, this natural therapy costs very little and is free of side effects.

Vitamin B12 is a general term used to define a group of essential biological compounds known as “cobalamins.” The cobalamins are structurally related to hemoglobin in the blood, and a deficiency of vitamin B12 can produce an anemic state in the body. Conventional doctors’ primary concern with maintaining adequate cobalamin status is to protect against anemia. Over the last ten years, however, a number of central and peripheral neurological disease states have been related to a deficiency of a specific cobalamin.

The most common form of vitamin B12 is “cyanocobalamin.” While cyanocobalamin works well to prevent anemia, it is the “methylcobalamin” form that is required to protect against neurological disease and aging. The liver naturally converts a small amount of cyanocobalamin into methylcobalamin, but to correct neurological defects and protect against aging, larger amounts of methylcobalamin are necessary. Published studies show that high doses of methylcobalamin are needed to regenerate neurons and the myelin sheath that protects axons and peripheral nerves.

Animal studies have shown that high doses of methylcobalamin are effective in neuronal regeneration. There is no known toxicity at these doses. Sublingual methylcobalamin is now being offered in a new vanilla flavor at reduced prices.

1 lozenge contains
1 mg of pure methylcobalamin (vitamin B12).

Other ingredients: sorbitol, mannitol, cellulose, vanilla flavor, magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium and silica.

Dosage and use
- Dissolve 1 lozenge in mouth 1 to 8 times daily.

- 5 mg to 40 mg may be needed for those with neural problems related to B12.

- Lozenges are in sublingual form because methylcobalamin may be degraded if digested, whereas when taken sublingually it will go first to the brain where it is needed.

- This product can be taken with or without meals.
