Vitamin B12 Lozenges

Vitamin B12 lozenges are a great-tasting, high-dose vitamin B12 product. Each berry-flavored lozenge contains 5000 mcg of methylcobalamin, a naturally occurring, highly bioavailable form of vitamin B12. They are designed to deliver B12 through the mucous membranes to bypass the need for intrinsic factor, a protein produced in the stomach necessary for maximal GI absorption of B12. Vitamin B12 in supplement form also reduces the need for stomach acid, typically required to separate food-derived B12 from food proteins. Let the lozenge dissolve slowly, and do not chew it to allow the vitamin to be absorbed properly through the mucosal tissue that lines the mouth.
