Vitamin B12 Supplements

How Much Vitamin B12 Per Day?

The NHS recommends that adults aged 19-64 need 1.5 micrograms of vitamin B12 per day. This will vary for each person, if you have signs of deficiency, or identify with one or more risk factors. 

Supplementing vital nutrients is hassle-free with our vitamin B12 supplements:

• With just 4 simple sprays into your mouth, our Boost B12 Oral Spray provides 1,200μg. 
• Our B-Complete Oral Spray delivers 100μg amongst a blend of all 8 B vitamins in just 3 quick sprays.
• This is higher than the general recommended dosage because it has been formulated specially to help decrease how long recovery from B12 deficiency can take.  

If you’re unsure you’re obtaining how much B12 per day you need, you can use our vitamin B12 test kit in order to identify, and then use vitamin B12 supplements to restore levels. 

Benefits of Vitamin B12 Supplements

Vitamin B12 supplements provide important assistance to multiple functions within the body. See these benefits of B12 with our B12 supplements:

• Reduce tiredness and fatigue - Vitamin B12 supplements boost your natural energy levels by contributing to chemical reactions which metabolise glucose into ATP energy.
• Support natural immunity - B12 boosts your immune system by helping to create white blood cells which rid the body of contaminants that cause illness.
• Promotes psychological function - B12 contributes to the creation of serotonin and dopamine. These “happy hormones” promote a good mood, helping you stay focused and motivated.   
• Aids red blood cell formation - B12 contributes to making red blood cells which are essential for transporting oxygen around the body. 
• Contributes to nervous system function - B12 regulates the levels of homocysteine in the body, helping to avoid increased risk of dementia, heart disease, and strokes.

Could You Be At Risk of Low Levels?

Vitamin B12 deficiency causes side effects including brain fog, pins and needles, and a poor mood. Some factors make you more susceptible, such as:

• Vegans - B12 is one of the supplements vegans should take because it is sourced from foods excluded in a plant-based diet. Vegan supplements can help you bridge gaps in your diet.
• Adults aged 60+ should consider supplementing vitamin B12. With new guidelines suggesting that B12 deficiency is more prevalent in older adults than previously thought, it’s important to take vitamin B12 supplements.
• Medications can sometimes inhibit the ability to absorb B12. If you take any prescribed medications, please consult a GP prior to supplementation.
• Pernicious Anaemia is the primary cause of low B12 levels in the UK. Our oral sprays can be taken alongside treatment to support daily B12 levels.
• Health conditions which affect the gastrointestinal tract.
