Two forms of B12 in one tablet

Vitamin B12 is a family of compounds called cobalamins. Many B12 supplements use cyanocobalamin, a form the body has to convert before use. This tablet supplies the two coenzyme forms your cells work with directly:

• Methylcobalamin, 2000 mcg: the form used in the cell fluid, in the reaction that recycles homocysteine into methionine.
• Dibencozide, 1000 mcg: also called adenosylcobalamin or cobamamide, the form used inside mitochondria, where cells break down certain fats and amino acids.

Getting both in one tablet means you are not choosing between them. BioCoenzymated is the Natural Factors line built on these active coenzyme forms of the B vitamins.

The tablet is sublingual: you let it dissolve under your tongue instead of swallowing it. The other ingredients are mannitol, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate and flavour. Natural Factors lists it as non-GMO, gluten-free and suitable for vegans. B12 comes mainly from animal foods, so that matters to anyone on a plant-based diet.

How it compares with other Natural Factors B12

• B12 Quick Dissolve 1000 mcg and 5000 mcg: methylcobalamin only, in quick-dissolve tablets.
• Vitamin B12 1000 mcg Cyanocobalamin: the conventional form, in a swallowed tablet.
• BioCoenzymated Active B Complex: the full B family in coenzyme forms, for those who want more than B12.

Choose this one when you want both coenzyme forms of B12 in a single daily tablet.
