Viridian High Twelve B12 B-Complex

Viridian High Twelve B12 B-Complex is a specialised B vitamin supplement providing an elevated therapeutic dose of vitamin B12 alongside a complete supporting B vitamin complex, designed to address specific requirements for enhanced B12 intake. This product uses methylcobalamin — the biologically active, naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 — which can be utilised directly by the body's cells without requiring conversion, unlike the synthetic cyanocobalamin commonly used in lower-quality supplements.

Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin involved in DNA synthesis, normal red blood cell formation, normal functioning of the nervous system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It plays a critical role in the metabolism of homocysteine, where it works together with folate and vitamin B6 to convert this potentially harmful amino acid into methionine, a process essential for maintaining cardiovascular health and neurological function. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.

B12 deficiency is particularly common among vegans and vegetarians, older adults with reduced gastric acid and intrinsic factor production, those taking metformin or proton pump inhibitors, and those with malabsorption conditions such as pernicious anaemia. At higher oral doses such as those provided in this formula, passive absorption across the gut mucosa (independent of intrinsic factor) becomes significant, making high-dose oral B12 supplementation an effective strategy even for those with compromised active absorption mechanisms.

The supporting B complex ensures nutritional balance and provides the co-factors needed for optimal B12 metabolism. Contains 100% active ingredients, no artificial fillers, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to Viridian's ethical standards.
