High Strength Sublingual Powder
Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy red blood cells for energy, but it cannot be absorbed unless the stomach makes ‘intrinsic factor’, which may be reduced as we age or in those with poor digestion. This delicious powder is absorbed directly from the mouth, avoiding the need for ‘intrinsic factor’.
The primary functions of Vitamin B12 are in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenence of a healthy nervous system. B12 is necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. This is especially important in tissues where cells are dividing rapidly, particularly the bone marrow tissues responsible for red blood cell formation. If B12 deficiency occurs, DNA production is disrupted and abnormal cells called megaloblasts occur. This results in anaemia. Symptoms include excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, pallor, and poor resistance to infection. Other symptoms can include a smooth, sore tongue and menstrual disorders. Anaemia may also be due to folic acid deficiency, folic acid also being necessary for DNA synthesis.
Recommended dosage: 1/2 level measure a day.
Caution: Not for citrus allergy sufferers.
