B12 is the vitamin many people eating a plant-based diet pay attention to, because it occurs naturally mostly in animal products. This supplement is there to top up your B12: 20 micrograms per capsule, according to the manufacturer’s label 800% of the reference intake, in three natural forms (methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin) from organic shiitake and oyster mushroom. A pouch contains 30 capsules.
What does vitamin B12 do?
B12 contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Those are the EU-approved claims. Because B12 occurs mainly in animal products, people eating vegan or vegetarian often pay extra attention to it.
Where it comes from
This is a supplement from the British brand Together, which we have carried for some time. Together produces vegan in the United Kingdom to GMP standards and works without artificial binders, colourings, flavourings or fillers. The capsules are plant-based (HPMC) and the brand deliberately chooses a resealable pouch instead of a plastic jar, which saves a lot of plastic.
How do you use it?
Take 1 capsule daily with water. B12 is water-soluble, so whatever the body does not use it excretes; no upper level has been set. The moment does not matter, many people take it at breakfast. How to recognise a deficiency, who is more likely to have one and how much B12 you need per day is in
