Vitamin Code Raw B-12 Metilcobalamina 1000 mcg - 30 Cápsulas

What is methylcobalamin vitamin B12 and why is it important?

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for multiple bodily functions. Garden of Life Vitamin Code Raw B-12 uses methylcobalamin, the natural and biologically active form of this vitamin. Unlike synthetic cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin is ready to be used by the body, making it a preferred choice for those seeking optimal support.

Each capsule provides 1000 mcg of methylcobalamin vitamin B12, a dose that helps meet daily needs and maintain adequate levels, especially in people with vegetarian or vegan diets, or with reduced absorption.

Key benefits of vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 plays a fundamental role in several vital processes. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin B12 contributes to:

• The reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Normal energy-yielding metabolism
• The normal functioning of the nervous system
• Normal red blood cell formation
• The normal function of the immune system
• Normal psychological function
• The process of cell division

In addition, vitamin B12 helps the metabolism of homocysteine, a factor related to cardiovascular health. With Vitamin Code Raw B-12, you get these benefits in a whole food formula.

What makes Vitamin Code Raw B-12 special?

Garden of Life has developed a unique formula that goes beyond simple vitamin B12. This supplement combines methylcobalamin with a blend of probiotics and digestive enzymes to support digestive health and nutrient absorption.

Probiotics and enzymes: Includes probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus plantarum, along with enzymes like lipase, protease, papain, and bromelain. This promotes digestion and overall well-being.

Purity Certifications: The product is Non-GMO Project Verified, NSF Certified Gluten-Free, Vegan, and RAW. It contains no synthetic binders, fillers, artificial flavors, or colors. It is suitable for restrictive diets and people looking for clean ingredients.

Whole food origin: The RAW formula means that the nutrients come from whole foods, grown in their natural state and not processed at high temperatures. This preserves the activity of natural cofactors.

Who needs this vitamin B12 supplement?

Vitamin B12 is especially relevant for:

• Vegans and vegetarians: B12 is found mainly in animal products, so supplements are essential to avoid deficiencies.
• Older adults: With age, B12 absorption decreases due to changes in the stomach.
• People with fatigue or lack of energy: B12 contributes to energy metabolism and reduces tiredness.
• Those with digestive problems: Conditions like Crohn's disease or atrophic gastritis can affect absorption.
• Athletes: To support energy production and recovery.

If you experience symptoms such as persistent tiredness, weakness, tingling in the extremities, or concentration problems, it could be indicative of low B12 levels. A blood test can confirm this.

How to take Vitamin Code Raw B-12?

The recommended dose for adults is one capsule daily, with or without food. For a more versatile option, you can open the capsule and mix the contents with water or juice. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose.

Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Keep the bottle tightly closed to preserve the freshness of the probiotics and enzymes.

Frequently asked questions about vitamin B12

How much vitamin B12 do I need per day?

The reference intake for adults in the EU is 2.5 mcg per day. However, needs may be higher in certain groups (vegans, over 50s). Supplements of 500-1000 mcg are common and safe, as B12 is water-soluble and excess is eliminated in urine.

What is the best form of vitamin B12?

Methylcobalamin is the active form that the body can use directly. It is especially recommended for people with liver conversion problems or genetic issues (such as MTHFR mutations). Cyanocobalamin is more stable and cheaper, but requires conversion.

Does vitamin B12 help with fatigue?

Yes, EFSA recognizes that vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is a key component in cellular energy production and in the formation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen.

Can I take this product if I am vegan?

Yes, the product is vegan and certified as such. It contains no animal-derived ingredients. In addition, it is gluten-free and non-GMO.
