Vitamin B12 Drops
Methylcobalamin 250µg

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)

Vitamin B12 fulfils a number of important functions in the body. Among other things, it can help to reduce tiredness and fatigue and maintain a normal energy metabolism. It contributes to the normal functioning of the psyche, immune and nervous systems, supports the formation of red blood cells and is beneficial for normal homocysteine metabolism. The body also needs vitamin B12 for cell division. Vitamin B12 acts as a so-called coenzyme in the body, meaning it is necessary for certain enzymes in our body to fulfil their tasks. The associated reactions are directly dependent on vitamin B12 and cannot take place without the vitamin.

Natural, bioactive Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) exists in various chemical forms, each with different roles in the body. The natural forms of vitamin B12 that are directly active in the body are referred to as "bioactive coenzymes." Synthetic forms of vitamin B12, such as the commonly used cyanocobalamin, do not have direct vitamin activity and must be converted by the body into a usable form.

Methylcobalamin

Methylcobalamin is one of the two natural bioactive coenzymes of vitamin B12. It can be directly utilised by the body without conversion and is known for its excellent bioavailability.

Methylcobalamin is the predominant form of vitamin B12 in the blood and cell plasma. Along with folic acid, it plays a role in the cell plasma as part of the methylation cycle, which is important for numerous central physiological processes such as cell division and the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin is also involved in the breakdown of homocysteine. It supports healthy nerve metabolism and contributes to normal psychological function.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Vitamin B12 contributes to:

• normal energy metabolism
• normal functioning of the nervous system
• normal homocysteine metabolism
• normal mental function
• normal formation of red blood cells
• normal function of the immune system
• reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• cell division

Directions

Shake well before use. Place 4 drops under the tongue daily.

For optimal sublingual administration, place a drop under the tongue or on the inside of the cheek. Avoid swallowing for as long as possible to allow the drops to be absorbed.

Daily Requirements

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a minimum of 3µg vitamin B12 per day for adults.

B12 Absorption

The body only absorbs a fraction of the vitamin B12 from food and supplements. Typically, only about 1-2 µg of vitamin B12 can be actively absorbed through the specialised protein called "intrinsic factor," and an additional 1% of the dose can be passively absorbed through concentration differences in the intestinal mucosa (passive diffusion). Therefore, the total estimated absorption is a combination of these two factors. By spacing out the intake, the active absorption through the Intrinsic Factor can be utilised multiple times.

According to this formula, Sunday Natural Vitamin B12 Drops Methylcobalamin 1000µg would result in an estimated absorption of 10-12µg of vitamin B12 per drop.

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.

Storage

Please store vitamin B12 at room temperature (between 20 and 25°C).

Ingredients: Distilled Water, humectant: Glycerine, Methylcobalamin.

* Nutrient Reference Value

All eight essential B vitamins work very closely together in the body in numerous metabolic processes. In many cases it therefore makes sense to take the vitamins together.
