Anabolic Laboratories B12-Plus™

Vitamin B12 Supplement

anabolic laboratories b12-plus vitamin b12 supplement

Price: $16.00 - $28.00

  • Available in 60ct or 120ct Sizes

Brief Product Description

250mcg of vitamin B12 using a pH-responsive ion-exchange resin technology which protects the vitamin in the acidic environment of the stomach and releases it for absorption in the more alkaline small intestine. Recent evidence has demonstrated that this type of formulation is far superior to both free B12 and sublingual preparations.

B12-Plus™ - How it Works

Background

Vitamin B12 is essential to proper function of DNA. This fundamental role makes it a crucial cofactor in the production of blood and the synthesis of intestinal mucosa, liver tissue, kidney tissue and all other tissues where a fast turnover rate occurs. Vitamin B12 is also essential to proper formation and maintenance of myelin sheath of the nervous system. In addition, this nutrient exerts a lipotropic effect helping to control blood lipids.

Vitamin B12 is poorly absorbed even in normal persons. It appears that the reason for this is destruction of the nutrient by stomach acid, allowing only small amounts to actually reach the small intestine, the site of absorption of B12. B12-Plus provides the vitamin on a pH-responsive resin which protects it from destruction in the acid environment of the stomach, and releases it for absorption in the more alkaline small intestine. Recent evidence has demonstrated that this type of formulation is far superior to both free B12 and sublingual preparations (Davis, et. al., 1982).

The Need To Consider Quality:

Of the magnesium supplements tested by ConsumerLab.com, 25% failed to meet quality standards. One magnesium supplement contained only 45.4% of labeled amount, despite boasting a "GMP" (Good Manufacturing Practices) seal on its label, and another supplement provided only 28.8% of the labeled amount.

Tests by ConsumerLab.com have found multivitamins that were short on ingredients, failed to dissolve properly, or were contaminated with heavy metals.
ConsumerLab.com, New Product Review: Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplements, Posted 4/1/09

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that manufacturing problems have been associated with dietary supplements. Products been recalled because of microbiological, pesticide, and heavy metal contamination, and because they do not contain the dietary ingredients they are represented to contain, or they contain more or less than the amount of dietary ingredient claimed on the label.
