This B12 delivers a full 5,000mcg of **methylcobalamin** for energy and nerve support — the active, ready-to-use form your body absorbs directly, no conversion needed. That sits at the top of the typical supplemental range and far above the 2.4mcg daily requirement; because B12 absorbs poorly, the high dose pushes enough through to support red blood cell formation too.

It's built for people who genuinely need it — vegans, vegetarians, adults over 50, and anyone with absorption issues, where deficiency is common. The chewable, dissolve-in-mouth format lets some B12 absorb through the mouth, bypassing the gut absorption that declines with age.

B12 is water-soluble with no upper limit, so your body uses what it needs and clears the rest in urine — this dose corrects a shortfall but won't do more if your levels are already normal. It's safe, low-risk insurance if you're at risk of running low.
