Sublingual B12

Vitamin B12 (also called cobalamin) is one of eight water-soluble B vitamins. It plays an important role in DNA and RNA synthesis. B12 is necessary for normal nerve cell activity and the creation of red blood cells. It is needed to synthesize S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which helps the immune system function properly and affects mood. B vitamins are used when converting carbohydrates into glucose to produce energy.

B12 is often called an "anti-stress" vitamin because it is believed to enhance the activity of the immune system and improve the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions. Vitamin B12 deficiency is linked to fatigue, irritability, depression, and impaired memory.

The ability to absorb B12 decreases with age. In one study, 15 percent of adults over 65 years of age showed evidence of B12 deficiency. This may be attributed to the common use of gastric acid-blocking agents, which may inhibit the release of B12 during digestion. B12 deficiency is also common in strict vegetarians, those with pernicious anemia and people that have had stomach surgery.

Folic acid (folate) is also essential to DNA synthesis. It is one of the few nutrients that works better when taken as a separate supplement than as part of food. Folic acid is included in Ray & Terry's B12 supplement because of their intertwined functions. Folate and B12 work together to control homocysteine levels. Excess homocysteine is linked to higher incidence of cardiovascular disease.

Supplementation with Vitamin B12 may assist in:

* Reducing in risk of stroke and coronary artery disease
* Increasing energy levels and fighting fatigue
* Helping relieve depression
* Protecting against development of Alzheimer's
* Improving sperm counts and mobility to counteract male infertility 

It is very difficult to properly absorb B12 through the digestive tract. For this reason, the vitamin is often taken intravenously, which can be inconvenient, painful and expensive. Our sublingual product is designed to absorb quickly into the system by dissolving under the tongue and entering the bloodstream directly. This method allows for maximum absorption of the B12.

Dosage: One cherry-flavored tablet daily to be dissolved under the tongue.
