One of the body’s core vitamins is delivered in our vegan B12 supplement that not only boosts your metabolism but leaves you energised and recharged. As one of the key vitamins for immune systems and keeping healthy, it works with many others to have us feeling at our best.

With a scientific formula that has been crafted to prolong performance and leave you feeling your best, these vitamin B12 tablets are designed to be part of a healthy lifestyle and are perfect for vegans and vegetarians.

They use an elevated level of water-soluble Vitamin B12 in the form of Cyanocobalamin. This supplement is then released gently over time to provide long-lasting benefits across four to eight hours.

Like our vitamin C tablets and our iron supplements, this Vegetology vitamin B12 supplement is suitable for vegans and comes from our vegan supplements range that are designed to help you feel healthy and at your best.

Whilst all vitamins and nutrients are important, Vitamin B12 has a vital role for our bodies.

Vitamin B12 works with our body to support growth, development as well as cognitive brain function and the nervous system. Not only does it do all of this, but it also supports red blood cell formation, which then helps the body to carry oxygen to its tissues and organs.

Vitamin B12 is also an essential vitamin that our body can’t produce on its own. We need to get it from our diets or from Vitamin B12 tablets or B12 supplements.

Making sure our Vitamin B12 levels are maintained comes with huge health benefits, including:

• Improved bone health.

• Healthy red blood cell formation.

• Improved oxygen to the blood and tissues.

• Boosted energy levels and reduction in fatigue.

• Improved brain function and focus.

• Calmer nervous system and improved mood.

If your body is lacking this vitamin and has a Vitamin B12 deficiency, which can sometimes be known as folate deficiency anaemia, it will show some obvious signs.

If your body begins to show any of these symptoms, then it could be possible that you’re running low on Vitamin B12:

• Extreme tiredness and fatigue.
• Lack of energy and feeling lethargic.
• Breathlessness, even when sitting still.

• Pale skin.
• Heart palpitations.
• Ringing sounds such as tinnitus.
• Sore and red tongue.
• Mouth ulcers.
• Disturbed vision.
• Muscle weakness.
• Pins and needles (paraesthesia)
• Feeling faint or lightheaded.
• Headaches, especially those that reoccur.

To diagnose a Vitamin B12 deficiency, your doctor may run blood tests to see whether you have low haemoglobin or Vitamin B12 levels. These tests may include a complete blood count, which measures haemoglobin as well as a test to measure Vitamin B12 levels in the blood.

There are a few health conditions and factors that can lead to a Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency. Some of the most common include:

● Pernicious anaemia
This is when your immune system attacks healthy cells in your stomach and reduces the amount of Vitamin B12 your body can absorb from food. This is one of the most common causes of Vitamin B12 deficiency in the UK.

● Lack of these vitamins in your diet
Not eating enough vitamins in your diet can cause many health problems, including a Vitamin B12 deficiency. A vegan diet can sometimes result in lower vitamin intake due to not eating certain foods and over time this can cause health issues, which can be improved with supplements.

● Medication
Certain medications can have an impact on how much our body absorbs vitamins.

If you have low vitamin B12 then you may need to look at your diet and eat more animal products, like meat, seafood, dairy and eggs. Yet when you’re vegan or vegetarian this isn’t possible, and whilst there are vitamin B12 rich products like fortified breakfast cereals, you may need to consider vitamin B12 supplements.

A daily vitamin B12 tablet can be beneficial to boost your levels and reduce symptoms like fatigue, low mood, headaches and feeling faint or lightheaded.

The recommended daily intake (RDI) for Vitamin B12 for people over 14 is 2.4 micrograms. However, you may want to take more or less, depending on your age, lifestyle or health needs.

Vitamin B12 deficiency and folate deficiency are a lot more common in older people. Current data suggests that this affects around 1 in 10 people aged 75 or over, and 1 in 20 people aged 65 to 74 in the UK.

Vegans can be at risk of vitamin b12 deficiency due to not being able to get it from their diet as they don’t consume animal products. As a result, this can mean they need to have a Vitamin B12 supplement such as a Vitamin B12 tablet or even have Vitamin B12 injections to help boost their levels.

If you are lacking in Vitamin B12 then there are plenty of options to help improve your intake, and help improve mood, energy and health.

Once diagnosed with low Vitamin B12 levels, you’ll usually take cyanocobalamin tablets every day to prevent or treat Vitamin B12 deficiency.

It may take a few weeks before your Vitamin B12 levels and symptoms, such as extreme tiredness or lack of energy, start to improve.

There are side effects from taking Vitamin B12 supplements, like any supplement or tablet.

Side effects from too much Vitamin B12 can include:

• Nausea
  
• Headaches.
• Dizziness and light headedness.
• In very rare cases, blood clots and cancer.

Taking a Vitamin B12 supplement can get to work quickly and improve mood and energy levels within a few days. It can also quickly help to improve red blood cell formation, DNA and to improve brain function and focus. Not just to be taken as a brain supplements, but it has huge benefits in the body that can be seen and felt quickly.

As a long term solution to Vitamin B12 deficiency it may take a few weeks for the levels to improve. This can mean that some of those symptoms including extreme tiredness and exhaustion take longer to go away.

Vitamin B12 can help to improve energy level as it helps the body to turn food including carbohydrates into energy.

Vegans and vegetarians can benefit from a vegan Vitamin B12 supplement or Vitamin B12 tablets

Vitamin B12 deficiency can affect anyone. If your diet includes meat, fish, or dairy, you more likely obtain sufficient Vitamin B12 from those sources. However, since Vitamin B12 is absent in natural form in fruits, vegetables, and grains, individuals following a vegan diet may face challenges in obtaining an adequate amount.

The benefits of Vitamin B12:

Metabolic support

Restores the body’s minerals and vitamins and helping it with essential nutrients that support the body’s metabolism,

Nervous system regulation

Strengthens the functions of the nervous system and helps to calm the mood and reduce stress levels.

Brain function

Improves psychological function and focus as well as boosting focus, clarity and concentration.

Vitamin B12 created through fermentation

Like many vitamins, Vitamin B12 is usually sourced from animals - but not ours. We use Vitamin B12 produced by fermentation, which means you get the same benefits, just in a cruelty-free tablet and it’s perfect for a vegan diet and lifestyle.

Each tablet provides a high strength dose of 1000µg Vitamin B12 designed to release Vitamin B12 in a sustained way over six to eight hours. This is ideal for individuals with Vitamin B12 deficiency, in need of a boosted dose.

Vitamin B12 is water-soluble, which means the body takes what it needs, and the rest passes harmlessly through the body. One of the problems is the body doesn’t always take enough, or indeed have the time to take enough.

That’s why we designed a sustained release tablet, to ensure a steady and sustained delivery of B12 as the tablet breaks down in the stomach over a six to eight hour period. This gives the body more chance to take what it needs, and the higher dose helps individuals who even have acute deficiency. Again, any surplus passes through harmlessly.

Your body thrives when it has the right balance of nutrients for optimal health and energy. This Vitamin b12 supplement will help to improve your energy levels and to feel more focused and perform better.
