Description
Pure Encapsulations B12 (adenosyl/hydroxy) is a high-potency vitamin B12 supplement in vegetarian capsules, providing 2,000mcg of B12 as adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin in each of the 90 capsules.
Key Features
- Two coenzyme forms of B12: each capsule provides vitamin B12 as adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin, rather than cyanocobalamin, the synthetic form used in many other B12 supplements.
- High potency for at-risk groups: 2,000mcg per capsule (80,000% NRV) supports people more likely to have low B12 intake, including vegans, vegetarians and older adults, since B12 is mainly found in animal foods.
- Supports energy, nerves and mood: vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Vegan and free from major allergens: the capsule and all ingredients are suitable for vegans, and the product is free from gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, milk, molluscs, peanuts, soybeans and celery.
- 90 capsules per pack: at the recommended dose of one capsule a day, this gives roughly three months' supply from a single pack.
What's the difference between adenosylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin and cyanocobalamin?
Adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin, the two forms used in this product, are naturally occurring coenzyme forms of vitamin B12. Cyanocobalamin, used in many other B12 supplements, is a synthetic form of the vitamin. All three are recognised sources of vitamin B12.
Who is this supplement intended for?
It's intended for adults who want to support their vitamin B12 intake. This can include vegans and vegetarians, since B12 is mainly found in animal foods, and older adults, whose ability to absorb B12 can decrease with age. Anyone concerned about their B12 levels should speak to a healthcare professional, who can advise whether a supplement is appropriate.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Speak to a doctor, midwife or pharmacist before taking this or any food supplement if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Does vitamin B12 cause any side effects?
Vitamin B12 supplements are generally well tolerated. Some people may experience mild effects such as diarrhoea, headache, nausea or skin reactions. Taking 2mg (2,000mcg) or less a day, as provided by this product's recommended dose, is unlikely to cause harm.
