LIFE Extension Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin 500 mcg Chewable Tablets
LIFE Extension Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin 500 mcg Chewable Tablets offer a convenient and effective way to maintain optimal levels of this crucial vitamin. Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin vital for nerve and red blood cell health, and plays a critical role in DNA synthesis. While typically obtained from animal products or fortified foods, age-related digestive issues can impact absorption. This can be particularly challenging for vegetarians and seniors.
Benefits of Vitamin B12 Supplementation:
- Supports Cardiovascular Health: Helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels, a marker associated with cardiovascular, neurological, and overall well-being. High homocysteine levels are linked to increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
- Enhances Brain Health and Cognitive Function: Contributes to optimal cognitive function and supports healthy brain development.
- Promotes Red Blood Cell Production: Essential for the formation of red blood cells, vital for oxygen transport throughout the body.
- Addresses Age-Related Deficiency: As we age, the body’s ability to absorb B12 from food can decline. This supplement helps overcome this age-related challenge.
- Ideal for Vegetarians and Vegans: Since B12 is primarily found in animal products, vegetarians and vegans are at increased risk of deficiency and often benefit from supplementation.
Why Choose LIFE Extension Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin?
LIFE Extension utilizes methylcobalamin, a highly bioavailable form of B12, ensuring optimal absorption and utilization by the body. The chewable tablet format makes supplementation easy and convenient. Our commitment to quality and purity ensures you receive a superior product.
Scientific Backing:
The Institute of Medicine, in 1998, recommended B12-fortified foods and supplements for older adults to address age-related absorption challenges. Subsequent research confirms that B12 supplementation, even at moderate doses, can significantly improve both B12 and folate levels in seniors. Vitamin B12 works synergistically with vitamin B6 and folate to convert homocysteine into methionine, maintaining healthy homocysteine levels.
