Solgar Vitamin B12 1000mcg Methylcobalamin
by Solgar
"Methylcobalamin B12 sublingual nuggets — the active form that dissolves under the tongue for direct absorption"
Overview
Solgar Vitamin B12 1000mcg provides methylcobalamin — the active, coenzyme form of vitamin B12 — in sublingual nuggets that dissolve under the tongue for direct bloodstream absorption, bypassing the digestive tract. This is particularly important for B12 because many people have impaired B12 absorption due to low stomach acid, intrinsic factor deficiency, or medications (metformin, PPIs). Solgar has been the premium supplement brand since 1947, known for their gold-standard quality and iconic amber glass bottles that protect nutrients from light degradation.
