What is Vitamin B12 Cell?
In France, some 10-15% of the population(1) may be deficient in B12, according to studies, a figure which rises among vegans and the elderly.
Vitamin B12 is an essential vitamin that the body cannot produce itself.
It plays a fundamental role in nervous system function, red blood cell formation and energy metabolism.
Yet vitamin B12 deficiency is common, particularly among vegans and vegetarians, the elderly and those suffering from digestive disorders. This is simply because the majority of this vitamin is found in animal products.
Our B12 Cell provides 1000 µg of vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin, the active form naturally present in the body.
This particular form guarantees optimal assimilation, with no need for hepatic transformation.
THE BENEFITS OF OUR VITAMIN B12 METHYLCOBALAMINE
Vitamin B12 contributes to many essential bodily functions:
- Normal functioning of the nervous system;
- Normal energy metabolism;
- Reduced fatigue;
- Normal psychological function;
- Normal formation of red blood cells:
- Normal metabolism of homocysteine;
- Normal functioning of the immune system.
WHO NEEDS METHYLCOBALAMIN?
Our Vitamin B12 Cell is particularly recommended for :
- People with a diagnosed or suspected vitamin B12 deficiency
- People on a vegan or low-vitamin B12 diet
- People over 50
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People suffering from digestive malabsorption
B VITAMINS : ACTIVE OR INACTIVE FORMS?
Many dietary supplements use inactive or poorly bioavailable forms of B vitamins.
However, only physiologically active forms such as methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin are directly usable by the body.
Our B12 Cell contains an active form of the vitamin, for better assimilation and maximum effectiveness.
METHYLCOBALAMIN VS COBALAMIN: IT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12, directly usable by the body without further processing.
Conversely, cyanocobalamin is an inert synthetic form of B12, which must first be converted in the liver into methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin, the two biologically active forms.
This conversion process is not always optimal: it may involve partial loss of the vitamin, mobilize cellular energy, and be slowed down in certain individuals (notably in cases of oxidative stress, liver disorders or genetic polymorphisms). In addition, cyanocobalamin releases a cyanide molecule during conversion, which the body must then eliminate.
Although the names are similar, cyanocobalamin (synthetic form) and methylcobalamin (natural active form) do not have the same efficacy or bioavailability.
Some dietary supplements are simply labelled “cobalamin”. This is an indirect way of saying that they use cyanocolamamine, the inactive form of vitamin B12.
HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR VITAMIN B12 CELL METHYLCOBALAMIN
- 1000 µg bioactive vitamin B12 per capsule
- Methylcobalamin form (active, directly usable form)
- Vegan capsule with no controversial additives
- High bioavailability
- French manufacturing

WHY SUCH A DOSAGE (1000 µg)?
Vitamin B12 has its own absorption mechanism.
It depends on several proteins and transporters along its journey through the digestive system.
The body's capacity to absorb even biologically active B12 is therefore limited.
This is particularly true for the elderly, vegans and people with digestive disorders.
A high dosage of 1000 µg (i.e. 40,000% of reference values) guarantees effective intake, even in cases of reduced absorption.
This dosage is safe and recommended in many cases of vitamin B12 deficiency.
