NOW Foods Methyl B-12 (Methylcobalamin) 5000 mcg Lozenges, 120 Count

Who Should Take a Vitamin B12 Supplement?

Discover Foods Supplements, Methyl — Are you feeling tired or run down? Many Australians, particularly those on plant-based diets or over the age of 50, may benefit from extra vitamin B12. This essential nutrient is naturally found only in animal products, so vegans and vegetarians are at higher risk of deficiency. Older adults and people with digestive conditions or those taking acid-reducing medications may also have trouble absorbing B12. This high-potency 5,000 mcg lozenge is an easy way to top up your levels, with a convenient sublingual form that goes straight into your bloodstream.

What Is Vitamin B12 and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that your body relies on for energy production, DNA synthesis, and keeping homocysteine levels in check. It’s also vital for a healthy nervous system. As we age or if we follow a plant-based diet, our B12 levels can drop, making supplementation a smart move. This product uses methylcobalamin — the bioactive form your body can use straight away — alongside folic acid for added support.

Key Benefits of Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 helps turn food into cellular energy, so you feel more vibrant day to day. It supports red blood cell formation and keeps nerve cells healthy. Plus, it plays a role in homocysteine metabolism, which is important for heart health. With 5,000 mcg per lozenge, this supplement gives you a robust dose to help meet your needs.

What Makes This Methyl B-12 Special?

Unlike synthetic cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin is the naturally occurring coenzyme form of B12 that doesn’t need conversion in the body — it's ready to go. Each lozenge also contains folic acid, which works together with B12. The product is vegetarian and vegan-friendly, kosher, and soy-free. It's made in GMP-certified facilities with third-party testing for purity and potency. NOW Foods has been a trusted name since 1968, committed to quality you can count on.

How to Use Methyl B-12 Lozenges

For best absorption, place one lozenge under your tongue and let it dissolve. This sublingual method lets B12 enter your bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system. Take one lozenge daily, or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Each bottle gives you 120 lozenges, enough for four months at the standard dose. Store in a cool, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you take too much B12?

B12 is water-soluble, so any extra is usually passed out in urine. Doses up to 5,000 mcg are generally well tolerated, but it's wise to check with your doctor before starting any new supplement.

Is methylcobalamin better than cyanocobalamin?

Methylcobalamin is the bioactive form, meaning your body can use it straight away without conversion. This can be especially helpful for people with certain genetic differences or absorption issues.

Yes, it's certified vegan and contains no animal-derived ingredients.
