How are we different?
Methylcobalamin is one of the 2 natural, bioactive coenzyme forms of vitamin B12. Methylcobalamin can be used directly by the body without conversion and is characterised by good bioavailability.
Methylcobalamin is the dominant form of vitamin B12 in the blood and cell plasma. Together with folate, methylcobalamin is a critical component of the methylation cycle in the cell plasma, which in turn plays an important role in several bodily processes including cell division and the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters. In these reactions, methylcobalamin is also needed for the breakdown of harmful homocysteine.
This coenzyme is said to have an impact on the protection of nerves as well as balanced psychological function. Methylcobalamin is also suitable for daily supplementation.
The only additional ingredient is premium gum arabic (acacia fibre) 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 without plant protection products.
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.

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Vitamin B12 fulfils a number of important functions in the body: it can help to reduce tiredness and fatigue and maintain a normal energy metabolism; it contributes to the normal functioning of the psyche, immune and nervous systems; supports the formation of red blood cells; and is beneficial for normal homocysteine metabolism. The body also needs vitamin B12 for cell division.
Vitamin B12 acts as a so-called coenzyme in the body, meaning it is necessary for certain enzymes to fulfil their tasks. The associated reactions are directly dependent on vitamin B12 and cannot take place without it.
Natural, Bioactive Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) exists in various forms, each with different roles in the body. The natural forms of vitamin B12 that are directly active in the body are referred to as "bioactive coenzymes." Synthetic forms of vitamin B12, such as the commonly used cyanocobalamin, do not have direct vitamin activity and must be converted by the body into a usable form.
Methylcobalamin
Methylcobalamin is one of the two natural bioactive coenzymes of vitamin B12. It can be directly utilised by the body without conversion and is known for its excellent bioavailability.
Methylcobalamin is the predominant form of vitamin B12 in the blood and cell plasma. Along with folic acid, it plays a role in the cell plasma as part of the methylation cycle, which is important for numerous central physiological processes such as cell division and the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters. Methylcobalamin is also involved in the breakdown of homocysteine, supports healthy nerve metabolism and contributes to normal psychological function.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Vitamin B12 contributes to:
- normal energy metabolism
- normal functioning of the nervous system
- normal homocysteine metabolism
- normal mental function
- normal formation of red blood cells
- normal function of the immune system
- reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- cell division
Dosage
Dosage
Directions
Take 1 capsule every 5 days with 200ml water, 30 minutes before a meal.
European Union law prohibits the sale of vitamin B12 products in excess of 1000µg per day, which is why this product is offered as a weekly dose.
Daily Requirements
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a minimum intake of 4µg vitamin B12 per day for adults.
B12 Intake
The human body can only absorb a portion of the vitamin B12 found in food and supplements: only about 1–2µg of vitamin B12 can be absorbed at a time via the intrinsic factor, a special protein, with a further 1% absorbed via passive diffusion through the intestine. Calculating total B12 absorption therefore requires taking both of these factors into account. Note: By distributing intake of B12 throughout the day, absorption via the intrinsic factor can be maximised.
According to this formula, our Methylcobalamin B12 5000µg corresponds to an intake of approximately 7µg per day when taken on a weekly basis, or 50µg per capsule.
Food Supplement
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

All eight essential B vitamins work very closely together in numerous metabolic processes in the body. In many cases it therefore makes sense to take the vitamins together.
