Key benefits of vitamin B12 and folic acid

Vitamin B12 and folic acid (vitamin B9) work together to maintain various vital functions. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), these nutrients contribute to:

• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue: Both nutrients help maintain energy levels throughout the day.
• Normal energy metabolism: They promote the conversion of food into usable energy for the body.
• Normal functioning of the nervous system: Vitamin B12 is essential for neuron health and nerve impulse transmission.
• Normal psychological function: They contribute to mental well-being and concentration.
• Normal red blood cell formation: They help prevent megaloblastic anemia.
• Normal functioning of the immune system: They strengthen the body's defenses.

Additionally, folic acid is especially important during pregnancy for the normal development of the fetus.

What is the best way to take vitamin B12? Liquid vs. other forms

Vitamin B12 is found in various presentations: tablets, capsules, sublingual drops, and injectables. The liquid form offers several advantages. As drops, they are rapidly absorbed through the oral mucosa if held under the tongue for a few seconds before swallowing. This can be beneficial for people with digestive absorption problems. In addition, the drops allow easy dose adjustment. BlueBonnet has opted for a liquid formula with natural raspberry flavor, without artificial sweeteners, which is comfortable and pleasant to take. Being vegan and allergen-free, it is suitable for restrictive diets.

Who needs this vitamin B12 supplement?

Vitamin B12 deficiency is more common than believed. The following groups may especially benefit from this supplement:

• Vegans and vegetarians: B12 is mainly found in animal-based foods, so those following plant-based diets need to supplement.
• Seniors: With age, B12 absorption decreases due to reduced stomach acidity.
• People with digestive disorders: Diseases like atrophic gastritis, Crohn's disease, or celiac disease can hinder absorption.
• Those taking certain medications: Drugs such as metformin or proton pump inhibitors can interfere with absorption.
• People with persistent fatigue or lack of energy: B12 can help improve energy levels.
