Tricobalamin™
Tricobalamin™ lozenges provide a synergistic combination of the three bioavailable forms of vitamin B12, as methylcobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin. These three forms of B12 are naturally present in foods and can be readily converted in the body to the active intracellular forms of B12. Tricobalamin™ lozenges are formulated to support healthy levels of vitamin B12, with their lozenge delivery system allowing for optimal absorption of B12.
Benefits*:
- Supports steady energy levels
- Essential for healthy neurological function
- Aids in synthesis of red blood cells Promotes healthy cognition
- Supports a healthy pregnancy and fetal development
- Needed for numerous biochemical reactions involved in synthesis of DNA and neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine
Tricobalamin™ lozenges are formulated to support healthy levels of vitamin B12. They provide a synergistic combination of three forms of this vitamin: methylcobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, and adenosylcobalamin. These are easily absorbed by the body, likely because they are identical to the forms that occur naturally in human physiology. The forms of vitamin B12 found in Tricobalamin™ are more bioavailable than the cyanocobalamin form, which is the form typically found in mass-marketed supplements and used for food fortification.
While most individuals can absorb and use all three forms of B12 in this product, some forms may be more effective for certain individuals, so Tricobalamin™ includes all three for maximum efficacy.
The Lozenge Advantage
The lozenge delivery system of Tricobalamin™ allows for two routes of B12 absorption: 1) directly through the tissues in the mouth, and 2) bound by a protein secreted in the saliva that carries it to the gastrointestinal tract. These lozenges have a great-tasting natural orange flavor and do not contain artificial sweeteners or colorings.
Vitamin B12 Functions
Vitamin B12 is a critical nutrient in the body and supports physical, psychological, and neurological health. It is required for the synthesis of red blood cells, proper nerve cell/neuronal function, healthy cognition, supports steady energy levels, and is involved in regulating levels of homocysteine, which plays a role in cardiovascular health.*
Who May Benefit
Vitamin B12 is found abundantly in animal foods but is not present in foods from the plant kingdom, so vegetarians and vegans may benefit from supplementation of this crucial nutrient. (Select fermented plant foods contain B12 synthesized by bacteria during fermentation but the overall amount of B12 obtained from these sources would typically not be enough to meet an individual’s needs.) Additionally, the capacity to properly digest B12-rich foods and absorb B12 declines naturally with age, so older individuals may benefit from supplementation. Supplementation may also be prudent in younger individuals with suboptimal digestive function, since robust stomach acid and a key compound called intrinsic factor, secreted in the stomach, are required to liberate B12 from its food matrix so it can be absorbed. Use of certain commonly taken prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs are known to interfere with absorption of B12, so supplementation may be warranted for individuals taking these medications. (As always, check with your qualified medical professional to see if you are taking any such medications.)
Supplement Facts
Recommended Use: Take 1 lozenge per day or as directed by your health-care practitioner. Allow lozenge to dissolve slowly and completely in mouth and swallow.
