Elexir B12 vitamin

Vitamin B12 – for blood and mental function

Vitamin B12 plays an active role in the formation of new red blood cells, which in turn affect a number of systems in the body. Vitamin B12 is also important for neurological properties and contributes to normal psychological function, for example.

Mainly animal sources

To get vitamin B12, you need to eat a varied diet, mainly animal products such as fish, meat, shellfish, eggs, liver, milk and cheese. There is also B12 in plant sources, but this form is inactive so the body cannot absorb it.

Extra important for vegans and the elderly

Since vegan diets exclude animal sources, vegans are generally at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. Therefore, it is important for vegans to either take a supplement or choose foods that are fortified with vegan B12. Lacto-ovo vegetarians are also at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency because dairy products and eggs contain relatively little B12. Older people can also suffer from vitamin B12 deficiency, mainly because the ability to absorb the vitamin decreases with age. Therefore, the dosage of supplements must be increased the older you are.

Supplemented with folic acid

Elexir B12 vitamin is supplemented with the bioavailable folic acid Quatrefolic®. This folic acid is absorbed three times faster than regular folic acid and enhances the absorption of vitamin B12. Folic acid is also recommended in connection with pregnancy, as it contributes to tissue growth in the pregnant woman. Elexir B12 is vegan and tastes lemon.

Ingredients: Sweetener (sorbitol, xylitol), natural lemon powder, acidity regulator (malic acid), methylcobalamin (B12), folic acid (Quatrefolic®, glucosamine salt).
