At 5,000 mcg per lozenge, this formula provides a meaningful therapeutic dose to help replenish stores quickly and maintain optimal levels over time. The addition of 400 mcg Folic Acid — the full recommended daily intake — supports healthy homocysteine recycling and cardiovascular health, making this a well-rounded B-vitamin combination. The lozenge format dissolves in the mouth for easy absorption without needing water or swallowing a capsule. NOW Foods has been a family-owned, trusted name in natural health since 1968, with GMP quality assurance on every product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra-strength 5,000 mcg Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) per lozenge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400 mcg Folic Acid per lozenge — 100% RDI, supports homocysteine metabolism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy nervous system function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports energy production from fats and proteins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports DNA synthesis and healthy cell division\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports cardiovascular health through homocysteine recycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient dissolve-in-mouth lozenge — no water needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarian and vegan friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 lozenges per bottle — 60-day supply at 1 daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMP Quality Assured | Family owned since 1968\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFormula Highlights\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin) — 5,000 mcg:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extra-strength B12 to support nerve function, red blood cell formation, energy metabolism, and DNA synthesis.
