It also called cobalamin and is important to good health. There are two types of commercial vitamin B12: cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. New Roots Herbal uses only the methyl form, as it is the coenzyme form and the only type which can directly participate in homocysteine metabolism. In addition, converting homocysteine to methionine via methylcobalamin generates an increased supply of\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eS\u003c\/em\u003e-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), the body’s most important methyl donor. Indeed, some of the benefits of methylcobalamin, such as protection from neurotoxicity, appear to derive from increased production of SAMe. It helps maintain healthy nerve cells and red blood cells, and is also needed to make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 is bound to protein in food; hydrochloric acid in the stomach releases vitamin B12 from protein during digestion. Once released, vitamin B12 combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it is absorbed into the bloodstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description__content expandable-menu__content expandable-menu__content--opened\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description__full\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBacteria synthesize vitamin B12 exclusively, and common sources are found primarily in meat, eggs, and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the synthesis of red blood cells and the maintenance of the nervous system, and is very important for growth and development in children. Deficiency can cause anemia and the degeneration of nerve fibres. Irreversible neurological damage can also occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVitamin B12 is also necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. This is especially important in tissues where cells are dividing rapidly, particularly bone marrow tissues responsible for red blood-cell formation. If a deficiency occurs, DNA production is disrupted and abnormal cells, called megaloblasts, are formed; this results in anemia. Symptoms include excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, pallor, and poor resistance to infection. Other symptoms can include a smooth, sore tongue and menstrual disorders. Anemia may also be due to folic acid deficiency, folic acid also being necessary for DNA synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn insulating fatty sheath, comprised of a complex protein called myelin, surrounds our nerves. Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in the metabolism of these fatty acids essential for the maintenance of myelin. Prolonged vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to nerve degeneration and irreversible neurological damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen deficiency occurs, it is more commonly linked to a failure to effectively absorb vitamin B12 from the intestine rather than a dietary deficiency. Absorption of vitamin B12 requires the secretion from the cells lining the stomach of a glycoprotein, known as intrinsic factor. The vitamin B12 intrinsic factor complex is then absorbed in the ileum (part of the small intestine) in the presence of calcium. Certain people are unable to produce intrinsic factor, and the subsequent pernicious anemia is treated with injections of vitamin B12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVitamin B12 can only be stored in small amounts by the body. Total body store is 2–5 mg in adults, around 80% of which is stored in the liver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVitamin B12 is excreted in the bile and is effectively reabsorbed; this is known as the enterohepatic circulation. The amount of vitamin B12 excreted in the bile can vary from 1 to 10 μg a day. Reabsorption is the reason it can take over 20 years for deficiency disease to develop in people changing to diets absent in vitamin B12. In comparison, if vitamin B12 deficiency is due to a failure in absorption, it can take three years for deficiency disease to occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-hover\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach vegetable capsule contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed beet (\u003cem\u003eBeta vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e) root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePau d’arco (\u003cem\u003eTabebuia heptaphylla\u003c\/em\u003e) inner bark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDandelion (\u003cem\u003eTaraxacum officinale\u003c\/em\u003e) root extract, 3% flavonoids\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVitamin B12 (methylcobalamin)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 mcg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003ePlant digestive enzymes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ealpha\u003c\/em\u003e-Amylase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e157.5 FCC DU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBromelain (from pineapple [\u003cem\u003eAnanas comosus\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003evar.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecomosus\u003c\/em\u003e] stem)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9,600 FCC PU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCellulase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.8 FCC CU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDipeptidyl-peptidase IV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.33 FCC HUT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ealpha\u003c\/em\u003e-Galactosidase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.2533 FCC GalU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlucoamylase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.666 FCC AGU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHemicellulase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.453 FCC HCU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInvertase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.05 FCC INVU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLactase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.253 FCC ALU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLipase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 FCC LU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaltase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.73 FCC DP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePapain (from papaya [\u003cem\u003eCarica papaya\u003c\/em\u003e] fruit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4,000 FCC PU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePectinase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.8 FCC endo-PGU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhytase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.0333 FCC FTU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFungal protease\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e552.5 FCC HUT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcid protease\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.76 FCC SAP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeutral protease\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 FCC HUT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVegetable magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and silicon dioxide in a non-GMO vegetable capsule composed of vegetable carbohydrate gum and purified water.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New Roots Herbal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43713369506019,"sku":"NRH-628747109154","price":21.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/9716\/files\/New-Roots-Herbal-Vitamin-B12-Methylcobalamin-500Mcg-90-Capsules-Limolin-32904177811683.jpg?v=1752412446","url":"https:\/\/www.limolin.com\/products\/new-roots-herbal-vitamin-b12-methylcobalamin-500-mcg-90-capsules","provider":"LIMOLIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
