Curated, not stocked.
We chose methylcobalamin specifically because it is the form B12 takes in human tissue — no conversion required. Many cheaper B12 supplements use cyanocobalamin; this formulation skips that step. Our doctors recommend B12 supplementation where blood work confirms low or low-normal serum levels, or where dietary intake is reliably insufficient. It is a targeted, evidence-backed addition to a nutrition protocol — not a general wellness gesture.
About this product
Vitamin B12 1100mcg
Vitamin B12 1100mcg delivers methylcobalamin, a bioactive form of B12 that the body can use directly without conversion. B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin involved in red blood cell formation, neurological function, and the metabolism of homocysteine — a marker that, when elevated, is associated with cardiovascular and cognitive risk. Most people eating a varied diet get enough through food, but certain groups routinely fall short: those following plant-based diets, adults over 50 (whose absorption declines with age), people on long-term metformin or proton pump inhibitors, and anyone recently confirmed deficient via a blood test.
Methylcobalamin is the form found naturally in human tissue and is often favoured over cyanocobalamin for those who want to avoid conversion steps or who have known methylation concerns. At 1100mcg, this is a supplemental dose rather than a corrective therapeutic dose — suitable for maintenance or dietary-gap support rather than treating a confirmed clinical deficiency, where a higher-dose or injectable protocol is usually more appropriate.
This fits neatly into a daily routine alongside a morning meal. It is worth checking serum B12 levels before supplementing long-term, both to confirm a genuine need and to establish a baseline for monitoring response.

How to use
Take 1 tablet daily, ideally with a meal. B12 is water-soluble, so there is no meaningful risk in taking it at any time of day, though some people prefer the morning to fit it into an established routine.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Who is most likely to need a B12 supplement?
Those on plant-based or vegan diets, adults over 50, people taking metformin or proton pump inhibitors long-term, and anyone with confirmed low serum B12 on a blood test. If you are unsure, a simple blood panel will tell you whether supplementation is warranted.
What is the difference between methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin?
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form that the body must convert into an active coenzyme before use. Methylcobalamin is already in a bioactive form, which is why it is generally preferred — particularly for those with methylation pathway variants or who simply want to reduce conversion steps.
Is 1100mcg a safe daily dose?
B12 is water-soluble, and excess is excreted in urine, so toxicity at this level is not a recognised concern for most adults. That said, if you have a confirmed clinical deficiency, speak to your doctor — a higher therapeutic dose or alternative delivery route may be more appropriate initially.
How long before I notice a difference?
That depends on your baseline. People with a genuine deficiency may notice improvements in energy and cognitive clarity within a few weeks; those supplementing for maintenance may notice little difference, which is expected. A follow-up blood test after a few months is the most reliable way to assess response.
Can I take this alongside other B vitamins or a multivitamin?
Generally yes, though it is worth checking your multivitamin's B12 content to avoid unnecessary doubling up. If you are taking a B-complex, look at the total combined dose. There are no known interactions that make B12 unsafe alongside other B vitamins.
