Supplement
Vitamine B12
Cobalamine
Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products. Those who follow a vegan diet, eat mostly plant-based, or are older have an increased risk of deficiency.
Common uses
- Supplementation for a plant-based diet or at an older age
- Support for energy and the nervous system
Dosage & use
Supplement forms vary greatly in dosage. Follow the advice or have your levels checked.
Cautions
A deficiency can cause irreversible damage — have symptoms investigated instead of continuing to self-supplement.
