Sophisticated vitamin B12 formula to support important body functions
Easy-to-take Vitamin B12 Capsules from Unimedica provide the body with vitamin B12 (cobalamin) in optimal form. It is involved in many important body processes. Vitamin B12 supports the immune system, energy metabolism, blood formation, nerves and psyche, and reduces fatigue and tiredness.
Vitamin B12 in bioactive form
Our Vitamin B12 Capsules contain vitamin B12 in the three naturally occurring forms: methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. This is exactly how cobalamin is found in nature – in our bodies and in animal foods. So it is also the optimal combination for vitamin B12 uptake in our body. In the active form the organism can use it directly without expending energy to change its form.
Two active B12 forms can be directly used by our bodies: the natural coenzymes adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin. They occur in our bodies and are absorbed from our food. They are also formed in the body from hydroxocobalamin, with a storage effect.
This vitamin B12 “afterburner” with a time-delay release is the real highlight with the hydroxocobalamin in our B12 capsules. The capsules don’t only work faster due to the active forms, they also work longer with the subsequent synthesis from hydroxocobalamin.
Why these three B12 variants supplement one another so well
Adenosylcobalamin is the most common bioactive form of B12, found in body tissues and foods like meat. It is stored especially in the liver and works in the mitochondria, where the cells are running flat out to produce our energy.
Adenosylcobalamin is important for our nervous system. It is needed so that the internal communication in our body works trouble-free. It is also used to form the myelin sheath. This is a kind of isolation for the nerve cells so that the signals can be quickly and efficiently transmitted between brain and organs. If this layer is damaged, neurons can die and nerve cells can be damaged. This vitamin B12 variant also contributes to the metabolism of key amino acids and hormones.
Hydroxocobalamin is the second most common form of cobalamin in the blood. It accounts for around half the B12 found in the blood. It binds well to the transport molecules in the body so that it circulates in the blood for longer than all other forms of B12. It ensures a constant supply of the cells with vitamin B12 and provides full B12 storage.
Methylcobalamin, together with adenosylcobalamin, is the second variant of vitamin B12 that our body must have. It is a natural bioactive coenzyme form and is the most common in our blood. It is found in our cells and in the central nervous system and in foods like milk and cheese.
Methylcobalamin as a coenzyme helps the transformation of homocysteine into methionine. It is especially important for the reactivation of folic acid. Our body can only profit from the effect of vitamin B9 thanks to the conversion of folic acid into folate. Methylcobalamin also supports the breakdown of homocysteine, an important process for our blood vessels.
In addition it is a key precursor to S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), thereby supporting mental function and cell division.
One of the most important roles of vitamin B12 is the production of red blood cells. These transport the oxygen in our body and are therefore essential for life.
Vitamin B12 sources in food
Cobalamin is found almost exclusively in animal foods such as meat, innards, fish, eggs, milk and cheese.
Who can benefit from our vitamin B12 capsules
With a pure plant-based diet, not enough vitamin B12 can be absorbed. So the Vitamin B12 Capsules from Unimedica are a straightforward way to provide the body with enough of this essential vitamin. The special manufacturing process ensures that they are vegan. To prevent a shortage of cobalamin in times of high demand or problems with B12 metabolism, the Vitamin B12 Capsules from Unimedica are a sensible option.
