aSquared Nutrition Vitamina B12 5000 mcg Gotas Sublinguales con Metilcobalamina - 60 ml

What is Vitamin B12 and why is it important?

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for numerous bodily functions. It is involved in red blood cell formation, nervous system maintenance, and energy metabolism. Since the body cannot produce it on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplements. The main food sources are of animal origin, which means people following vegan or vegetarian diets are at higher risk of deficiency.

Our sublingual B12 liquid drops provide 5000 mcg per dose of methylcobalamin, the biologically active form of the vitamin, for optimal absorption. This liquid format allows direct administration under the tongue, promoting its passage into the bloodstream without depending on digestion.

Key benefits of Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 has health properties recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Its main benefits include:

• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue: By participating in energy metabolism, it helps maintain adequate energy levels throughout the day.
• Supports normal energy metabolism: Helps convert food into usable energy for the body.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system: It is essential for the myelination of neurons and the transmission of nerve impulses.
• Supports normal red blood cell formation: Prevents megaloblastic anemia and maintains tissue oxygenation.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system: Helps maintain the body's defenses.

These effects are achieved with adequate daily intake, which can be obtained through a balanced diet or with supplements when necessary.

What makes this Vitamin B12 supplement unique?

This product stands out for its methylcobalamin form, the most bioavailable and directly usable variant by the body. Unlike cyanocobalamin, which requires hepatic conversion, methylcobalamin is ready to act without additional metabolic steps. Furthermore, the sublingual liquid drop format allows for rapid and effective absorption, ideal for those who have difficulty swallowing pills or have digestive absorption problems.

Each 60 ml dropper bottle provides 60 doses of 5000 mcg, with a pleasant wild berry flavor. The product is vegan, suitable for vegetarians, and free of gluten, soy, and other common allergens. Manufactured in GMP certified facilities, it guarantees quality and purity.

Different forms of Vitamin B12: methylcobalamin vs. cyanocobalamin

There are several forms of vitamin B12 on the market. Cyanocobalamin is the most common and stable synthetic form, but it is not biologically active until the body converts it into methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin, present in this supplement, is the active form that directly participates in methylation, neurological processes, and DNA synthesis.

For people with certain genetic variants (such as MTHFR), the conversion of cyanocobalamin may be inefficient, so methylcobalamin is preferred. In addition, methylcobalamin has better tissue retention and may be more effective in maintaining optimal B12 levels.

Who needs Vitamin B12 supplements?

Vitamin B12 deficiency is more common in certain population groups:

• Vegans and vegetarians: Since they do not consume animal products, they need to obtain B12 from supplements or fortified foods.
• Older adults: With age, B12 absorption decreases due to reduced intrinsic factor and gastric acidity.
• People with digestive disorders: Conditions such as atrophic gastritis, Crohn's disease, or gastric surgeries can affect absorption.
• People taking certain medications: Proton pump inhibitors, metformin, and oral contraceptives can reduce B12 levels.
• Pregnant and lactating women: Needs increase during pregnancy and lactation.

If you suspect you may have low B12 levels, consult a healthcare professional for an analysis and personalized recommendation.

How to take sublingual Vitamin B12 drops?

The recommended dose is 1 ml (approximately 20 drops) daily. Shake the bottle well before use. Administer the drops directly under the tongue and hold them for 30 seconds before swallowing. This allows absorption through the oral mucosa, bypassing the digestive tract. Do not consume food or drinks for 5 minutes after taking to maximize absorption.

This product is a food supplement; the recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, and keep it out of the reach of children.
