Who is vitamin B12 500 µg most suitable for?

Vitamin B12 is naturally found in meat, fish, dairy products and fortified foods. Because it isn't found naturally in fruit, vegetables or grains, vegans and vegetarians may not get enough from their diet alone, and this vegan capsule offers a convenient daily source.

Is it safe to take 500 µg of vitamin B12 every day?

According to NHS guidance, taking 2,000 µg (2 mg) or less of vitamin B12 a day from supplements is considered safe. At one capsule a day, this product provides 500 µg, comfortably within that limit.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Yes. The capsule shell is made from vegetable-based hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose rather than gelatine, and the product is suitable for vegans, vegetarians and those following a kosher diet.
