Product Information
Full details
This Vitamatic Methylcobalamin B12 liquid supplement is designed for individuals seeking to support energy levels, nerve health, cognitive function, and blood cell production. Its key benefit is providing a highly bioavailable form of B12 in a sugar-free, allergen-free liquid format. A potential consideration is the need to hold the liquid under the tongue for optimal absorption, which may not be preferred by all users. Key features include maximum potency, superior bioavailability, and a formulation free from common allergens like wheat, soy, sugar, dairy, fish, eggs, and shellfish, all with a natural berry flavor.

FAQs
What is the best way to take this B12 supplement?
Hold 1 ml (one dropper) under the tongue for 30 seconds and then swallow. This sublingual method enhances bioavailability.
Can I take this with other supplements?
Generally, yes, but it's always best to consult with your healthcare professional before combining new supplements, especially if you have existing health conditions or are on medication.
What does 'Max Potency' mean?
'Max Potency' refers to the highest concentration of liquid B12 available per serving on the market, as stated by the manufacturer.
Is this product vegan?
The product is free from common animal-derived ingredients and allergens. However, it's always advisable to check the full ingredient list and consult the manufacturer if strict vegan compliance is required, as some excipients like sorbitol or glycerin can have various sources.
How long will a 2 fl oz bottle last?
The bottle contains approximately 2 fl oz, which is about 59 ml. With a daily dose of 1 ml, one bottle should last approximately 59 days.
What is the source of the natural berry flavor?
The product lists 'natural berry flavor' as an ingredient. Specific sourcing details are typically not provided on the label but are derived from natural sources.
Why is Methylcobalamin preferred over Cyanocobalamin?
Methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring and active form of Vitamin B12 that the body can use directly, whereas Cyanocobalamin must be converted by the body into an active form. Methylcobalamin is often preferred for its direct utilization and potential benefits for nerve health.
Troubleshooting
Product appears cloudy or has sediment
This is normal for liquid supplements. Shake the bottle vigorously before each use to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Dropper is not drawing liquid properly
Ensure the dropper is fully submerged in the liquid. Check for any blockages in the dropper tip. If the issue persists, contact the manufacturer.
Experiencing mild digestive discomfort
The product contains sorbitol, which can have a laxative effect for some individuals. Try taking a smaller dose or taking it with food. Consult your healthcare provider if discomfort continues.
Unpleasant taste
While it has a natural berry flavor, taste is subjective. Ensure you are holding the liquid under the tongue for the recommended 30 seconds before swallowing to minimize taste perception. You can also try taking it immediately after brushing your teeth.
