Frequently Asked Questions
What is the concentration of Vitamin B12?
Ekopura Vitamin B12 contains a dose of 1000mcg of Vitamin B12 equally divided between Methylcobalamin (500mcg) and Adenosylcobalamin (500mcg). The concentration is sufficient to meet the daily requirement of Vitamin B12.
Why these two forms of vitamin B12?
We have chosen the two forms of Vitamin B12 that are best absorbed by the human body. We have balanced the dosage. Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin are both biologically active forms of Vitamin B12. That is, they no longer need to be converted by the stomach and intestines and can be directly absorbed by the body.
Which is better, a lozenge or capsule?
Many providers of Vitamin B12 supplements do so in the form of a lozenge that uses all kinds of coloring, flavoring and other additives that we don't need. We have opted for a herbal capsule without unnecessary and unhealthy additives, which is easy since we use the best absorbable forms of Vitamin B12 that enter the body directly through the intestines.
What is the shelf life?
The shelf life is always listed on the back of the package, at the bottom. We guarantee a minimum shelf life of 12 months. In reality, however, this is often longer because we produce regularly and keep small stocks. It is therefore possible to purchase several products at a time for a longer period.
What is the best way to store the capsules?
The capsules are best stored in their packaging, sealed and at room temperature, out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children. The ideal temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.
What is the best way to take the capsules?
We recommend taking 1 capsule per day with water. To improve absorption, you can take it in the morning before breakfast. You can also open the capsule and mix the powder in water. Please note that the powder turns red on contact with water. This is the natural color of the Vitamin B12.
What are the health benefits?
Vitamin B12 is an important nutrient for the body that is involved in many processes. Its health benefits include the following:
- has a positive influence on the immune system
- good for mood, concentration, learning ability and memory
- contributes to the formation of red blood cells
- contributes to the production of cells and tissues
- activates your natural energy in the body
- helps to reduce fatigue and tiredness
- positively affects nervous system function
- supports homocysteine metabolism
How can Vitamin B12 be Vegan?
It is true that Vitamin B12 is almost exclusively present in animal foods such as meat and dairy. However, our Vitamin B12 supplements are indeed Vegan responsible. This is because the methyl and adenosylcobalamin are obtained through a fermentation process using a certain type of bacteria as a base. In this way, we can offer a sustainable and responsible product that is absolutely Vegan responsible.
Can you take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Ekopura Vitamin B12 is completely safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always follow the instructions for use on the packaging and always consult a doctor if in doubt.
