That is 500 times the nutrient reference value of 2.5 µg, declared on the label as 50,000 percent. Such a magnitude is common with vitamin B12, but it does deserve an explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eWhy neither animals nor plants produce B12\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eVitamin B12 is chemically called cobalamin, and the name is meant literally: a cobalt ion sits at the center of the molecule. No other vitamin contains a metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eIt is formed exclusively by bacteria and archaea. Neither a plant nor an animal can do this, and neither can humans. Ruminants get their B12 because the corresponding bacteria live in their rumen; through meat, fish, eggs, and milk, it then enters the human diet. People who eat a plant-based diet do not have this detour available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebuckwheat sprout extract\u003c\/strong\u003e in this formula does not supply the vitamin; it carries it. By the way, buckwheat is not a grain, but a knotweed plant, and is therefore more closely related to rhubarb and sorrel than to wheat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eMethylcobalamin, and why the dose is so high\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eSupplement products usually contain two forms. Cyanocobalamin is the synthetic, especially shelf-stable variant, in which a cyanide group sits on the cobalt and must first be replaced by the body. \u003cstrong\u003eMethylcobalamin\u003c\/strong\u003e is, on the other hand, one of the two forms in which the vitamin actually works in metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eThe level of the dosage has to do with absorption. B12 has its own transport pathway via a binding protein from the gastric mucosa. This pathway works very efficiently, but it is limited: only a few micrograms can be absorbed this way per meal, after which it is saturated. Anything beyond that reaches the body only through passive diffusion, and about one percent is absorbed. High-dose products are aimed at this second route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eThe approved claims are based on 15 percent of the nutrient reference value, a threshold that is far exceeded here: \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin B12 contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, to normal red blood cell formation, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also has a role in cell division.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eComposition and quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eThree ingredients, nothing more: buckwheat sprout extract, methylcobalamin, and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No anti-caking agents, no fillers, no colorants. The formula is purely plant-based and therefore vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"!text-neutral-a12\"\u003eIt is bottled in amber glass.
