Adenosylcobalamin is one of the 2 natural bioactive coenzymes of vitamin B12, which can be utilised directly by the body without conversion and therefore has excellent bioavailability. It is the dominant form of vitamin B12 in our organs and tissues; it is also the form through which vitamin B12 is stored in our liver. Adenosylcobalamin is a particularly natural source of vitamin B12 for humans because it is the most common form of B12 found in food and it is also produced by bacteria in our intestinal flora.
Adenosylcobalamin acts in the mitochondria – the "powerhouse" of our cells – as part of the citric acid cycle, which is the essential metabolic cycle process of producing energy. The citric acid cycle supplies not only energy, but also substances necessary for many other functions in our bodies.
Adenosylcobalamin is said to have a special effect on energy metabolism, which is why it is popular with athletes and for treating fatigue. It is also suitable for daily supplementation.
The only additional ingredient is premium gum arabic from pesticide-free cultivation, used as a natural bulking agent. In contrast to conventional synthetic fillers such as microcrystalline cellulose, which is mixed with nano-particles, we use a natural, fibre-rich foodstuff. Our gum arabic comes from climate-neutral, sustainable, resource-conserving, fair cultivation.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.
