Description
Lamberts Vitamin B12 1000µg 60 Tablets is a high strength vegan food supplement that provides vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin in a one-a-day tablet. Vitamin B12 is required for the manufacture of normal red blood cells and contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Lamberts says B12 is found mainly in animal based foods, which is why vegetarians and vegans often choose it as a regular supplement.
Key Features
- High strength methylcobalamin: Each tablet provides 1000µg of vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin.
- Red blood cells and nervous system: Vitamin B12 is required for the manufacture of normal red blood cells and contributes to normal neurological function.
- Immune system and energy metabolism: Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal function of the immune system and, like most B vitamins, to normal energy metabolism, the processes that release energy from food.
- Suitable for vegetarians and vegans: The tablets are suitable for both diets.
- Often recommended for older adults: Lamberts says B12 is often recommended as a supplement for the elderly, who may have a compromised diet.
What is the difference between Lamberts Vitamin B12 1000µg and 100µg?
Both are one-a-day methylcobalamin tablets. The 1000µg tablet provides 40,000% of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) for vitamin B12, while the 100µg tablet provides 4,000%. Lamberts describes the 1000µg tablet as its high strength option.
Is 1000µg of vitamin B12 a day too much?
One tablet provides 1000µg, which is 1mg. The NHS, following advice from the Department of Health and Social Care, says that taking 2mg or less a day of vitamin B12 in supplements is unlikely to cause any harm. It also says there is not enough evidence to show what the effects of taking high doses of vitamin B12 supplements each day may be, so follow the directions of 1 tablet daily.
Why do vegans and vegetarians take vitamin B12?
The NHS says vitamin B12 is not found naturally in foods such as fruit, vegetables and grains, so vegans may not get enough of it. Good food sources include meat, fish, milk, cheese, eggs and some fortified breakfast cereals.
