Vitamin Boost

B12 Boost

Also known as Hydroxocobalamin. Vitamin B12 boosts are a way to ensure you get a good nutritional intake. So what is B12? It’s a vitamin that can be found in foods naturally. But many people do not consume enough Vitamin B12 through their diet especially those who follow a vegetarian diet or vegan diet, as B12 is found in animal products such as red meat, fish, dairy products and eggs.

Some others that eat a varied diet may lack B12 due to the intrinsic factor which is a protein produced in the stomach that binds to B12, helping it to be absorbed into the blood. Other factors may be those that have undergone weight loss surgery, those who suffer from pernicious anamia or Crohns or Celiac disease.

Without enough vitamin B12 you may feel tired, irritable and sluggish. B12 vitamins can give you an energy boost, promotes healthy heart, boosts metabolism, improve brain function and prevents deficiency.
