B-12 is an essential nutrient for humans that must come from diet

Ingredients

Vitamin B-12 is the largest and most complex of all the vitamins. It is one of eight B complex vitamins and was the last of the B vitamins to be discovered. It took more than two decades from the time Harvard researchers discovered in 1926 that eating liver every day may help prevent the rare deficiency disease, pernicious anemia, until they identified and isolated the responsible compound we know today as Vitamin B-12. Due to increased usage of Vitamin B-12 today, the prevalence of deficiency in the United States remains low for adults.

Vitamin B-12 is an essential nutrient for humans that must come from the diet because our bodies don't make it. Vitamin B-12 comes in several different forms. The methylcobalamin form found in Nature's Bounty Quick Dissolve Tablets is the form the body uses. Some other forms of Vitamin B-12 must go through the liver first to be converted to methylcobalamin. With Nature's Bounty B-12 Quick Dissolve Tablets, the methylcobalamin can skip this step and can start supporting many important processes, including energy metabolism and overall metabolic health, formation of DNA and red blood cells, and support of optimal nervous system, heart and circulatory health.

as we age, the ability to absorb vitamin b-12 declines

Why Supplement

Vitamin B-12 is found naturally in a diet that includes animal foods like meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, and dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt. Clams and beef liver are some of the best natural sources. Plant foods have no Vitamin B-12 unless they are fortified, so vegans and vegetarians who avoid eggs or dairy need to make sure they get enough of this important vitamin from fortified foods or supplements. Nature's Bounty B-12 Quick Dissolve Tablets are suitable for vegetarians and provide a highly potent dose of Vitamin B-12 to help increase intake of this important vitamin that vegetarians may not get from their diet alone.

The B-12 found in animal foods is bound to protein and must be extracted by acid and enzymes in the stomach. B-12 is then connected to a special compound in the stomach called intrinsic factor that is required for transport to the small intestine and absorption into the bloodstream. As we age the ability to absorb Vitamin B-12 declines. That's why some experts suggest that older adults may need extra B-12 from fortified foods or supplements, even when eating a diet rich in animal foods.
