B12, Methyl B12, 1000 mcg, 100 Lozenges, Now Foods

Now Foods Methyl B12 — 1,000 mcg of methylcobalamin per lozenge, the most biochemically active and bioavailable form of Vitamin B12, in a convenient chewable lozenge format for sublingual absorption. Dissolves in the mouth for direct uptake into the bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system for maximum bioavailability. Supports cognitive function, nervous system health, energy metabolism, and healthy homocysteine levels. Vegetarian, vegan, GMP quality assured. 100 lozenges.

What is methylcobalamin B12 and why does the lozenge format matter?

Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin critical for nervous system health, DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, energy metabolism, and the recycling of homocysteine — a potentially toxic metabolite linked to cardiovascular risk when elevated. B12 deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide, particularly affecting vegetarians and vegans (B12 is found almost exclusively in animal foods), older adults (who absorb B12 less efficiently due to reduced intrinsic factor production), and those taking certain medications. Methylcobalamin is one of the two biologically active coenzyme forms of B12 that the body uses directly — no conversion required, unlike the cheaper cyanocobalamin form. It is the predominant form found in the brain and nervous system, making it particularly valuable for neurological and cognitive support. The lozenge format adds a further advantage: by chewing or holding the lozenge in the mouth until dissolved, B12 is absorbed sublingually (under the tongue) and through the oral mucosa directly into the bloodstream — bypassing the digestive system and the need for intrinsic factor. This makes it particularly beneficial for those with impaired digestive absorption, older adults, and anyone wanting to maximise the amount of B12 that actually reaches the bloodstream.

Who is this for?

• Vegetarians and vegans — B12 is found almost exclusively in animal foods
• Older adults — B12 absorption declines significantly with age due to reduced intrinsic factor
• Those with digestive absorption issues who benefit from sublingual delivery
• Those taking metformin, proton pump inhibitors, or other medications that deplete B12
• People with fatigue, low energy, or brain fog that may be related to B12 deficiency
• Those wanting to support healthy homocysteine levels and cardiovascular health
• Anyone wanting to support nerve function, memory, and cognitive performance
• Those who prefer a pleasant-tasting lozenge over capsules or tablets
