According to the Mayo Clinic, “…people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet might be prone to deficiency because plant foods don’t contain vitamin B-12. Older adults and people with digestive tract conditions that affect absorption of nutrients also are susceptible to vitamin B-12 deficiency. Left untreated, a vitamin B-12 deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, poor nerve repair and mood disturbances.” The absorption of B-12 requires a protein, secreted by cells in the stomach, called intrinsic factor. Elderly people secrete less intrinsic factor and therefore absorb less vitamin B-12. Methylcobalamin B-12 helps provide significant amounts of B-12 in its more active form. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh potency formula contains 5,000 mcg of Methylcobalamin, the most bioavailable form of Vitamin B-12\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient dosage in lozenge form\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat tasting cherry flavor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten Free, Non GMO and Vegan\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains No dairy, wheat, gluten, eggs, peanuts, soy, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, sesame, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenefits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin is more bioactive than cyanocobalamin, which must convert in the liver to the active coenzyme form Methylcobalamin before it can function in the body.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin aids in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, supporting healthy blood homocysteine levels.\u003cbr\u003eIdeal source for vegan\/vegetarians who are at greater risk for vitamin B-12 deficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin helps donate a methyl group to form SAMe (s-adenosylmethionine) which helps support healthy brain function and liver detoxification.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethylcobalamin is essential for the production of normal, healthy myelin; protects the nervous system and supports its function.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin B-12 supports healthy red blood cell production, essential for oxygen transport throughout the body.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVitamin B-12 deficiency generally increases with age because of decreased levels of intrinsic factor a protein normally produced by the stomach and which aids in B12 absorption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PATHWAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44255008915694,"sku":"787500017119","price":21.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/0960\/9603\/files\/methyl.png?v=1736188101","url":"https:\/\/myvillanegreen.com\/products\/coenzymated-methylb-12-5000mcg-787500017119","provider":"Village Green Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
