B12 Adenosyl/Hydroxo

2,500 mcg of non-methylated B12 as adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin in a fruit punch quick-dissolve tablet for nerve support.

What it is

B12 Adenosyl/Hydroxy supplies 2,500 mcg of vitamin B12 in two non-methylated forms: adenosylcobalamin, the coenzyme form used in cellular energy metabolism, and hydroxocobalamin, a stable form the body converts to its active coenzymes as needed. The label makes a point of the non-methylated total, which matters to families whose practitioner has steered them away from methylcobalamin. The tablet is quick-dissolve and fruit punch flavored, sweetened with xylitol.

Who it's for

Vitamin B12 supports red blood cell formation, nervous system function, energy metabolism and the methylation cycle. The label describes the tablet as formulated to support a healthy nervous system and healthy cellular function. It is for an adult or child who needs B12 without a methyl group, who prefers a tablet that melts in the mouth over a capsule, and who likes a fruit flavor.

Format and how to take

Quick-dissolve tablets, 60 per bottle, fruit punch flavor. Label directions: take one quick-dissolve tablet daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Let it dissolve in the mouth. The label gives no children's dose, so ask your practitioner about use for children.
