Vitamin B12 Timed Release 1000 mcg. - 160 Tablets Nature Made

Why a Supplement?
Dietary sources of Vitamin B12 include meat, fish, eggs and dairy products. Even if you eat a lot of these foods, B12 deficiencies can occur as the result of poor absorption of this nutrient. As you age, your body’s ability to produce enough stomach acid for absorption of B12 may be greatly reduced. Young children, elderly adults and vegetarians who avoid meat and fish are at greater risk for Vitamin B12 deficiency. Others at higher risk for B12 deficiency include people with gastrointestinal disorders, such as Crohn’s disease or celiac disease and people who take metformin for blood-sugar control or proton pump inhibitors for chronic heartburn.

Hearty Dosing
Nature Made’s timed-release formula extends absorption of Vitamin 12 by your body, delivering 1,000 mcg of this essential nutrient in each dose, representing a whopping 16,667% of your recommended minimum daily intake of Vitamin B12 to give you back your energy and your sparkle and promote your overall health!

The Power of B!
B vitamins play an important role when it comes to the energy-producing pathways of your body. They allow your energy processes to work efficiently in order to provide you with the energy you need to carry out your busy day. These vitamins are especially important for you during illness, rigorous exercise, and in times of stress because, during these times, B vitamins may be excreted from your body more rapidly, thereby increasing your requirement.

Whole-Body Effects
In addition to boosting your energy levels, Vitamin B12 has been shown to benefit your whole-body health in multiple ways, including improving your memory, and helping to prevent heart disease. It is a multi-purpose nutrient that supports production of your body’s main methyl donor necessary for proper function of your metabolic systems and normal regulation of homocysteine, which supports your cardiovascular health and normal function of the cells that line the walls of your arteries.

There’s More!
The Mayo Clinic reports that Vitamin B12 also plays a significant role in your nerve function, in addition to formation of red blood cells and production of DNA, restoring your cognitive function. Nature Made Vitamin B12 also may help prevent anemia through production of red blood cells; promote normal development of your child during pregnancy; support bone health and help you prevent osteoporosis; reduce your risk of macular degeneration; and even improve your mood and reducing symptoms of depression.
