The Solgar Vitamin B-12 1000µg is a dietary supplement in sublingual tablets, also called nuggets, with natural cherry flavor. Each tablet contains 1000mcg vitamin B12 in cyanocobalamin form, which corresponds to 40000% of the Reference Dietary Intakes. The package contains 100 tablets.
It is aimed at adults who take B12 on a regular basis and want a large package so they don’t have to repurchase every month. It is of interest to those who follow a plant-based diet, those who want flexibility in the way they take it, since the tablet can be dissolved in the mouth, chewed or swallowed whole, and those who are looking for a sugar, gluten and dairy-free formulation.
Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin that is not produced by plants or animals, but by microorganisms. It reaches our diet through animal foods, mainly liver, meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, which accumulate it in their tissues. Plant foods practically do not contain it in an assimilable form, which is why the intake concerns those who eat few or no animal products.
The body stores B12 mainly in the liver and recycles it through the enterohepatic circulation, so the stores last a long time. In metabolism, the vitamin acts as a coenzyme in two key reactions, one of which converts homocysteine to methionine together with folic acid. This function is precisely behind the approved claim for normal homocysteine metabolism.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, the formulation offers vitamin B12 in sublingual form with cherry flavor. The company highlights the following:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. The company’s reference to the enhancement of the immune system is reported here with the approved wording, that is, as a contribution to the normal functioning of the immune system.
The dose of one tablet covers multiple times the Reference Dietary Intakes, so the product is entitled to all the approved claims:
It suits vegans and vegetarians who need a constant, daily source of B12 for a long period. It suits older adults, in whom the absorption of the vitamin from food is often reduced. It suits those who already take B12 and want the most cost-effective per dose, large package. It also suits those who prefer a tablet that can either be left to melt or swallowed, depending on the moment.
