Vitamin B12

Vegetology Firstly we always recommend getting advice from Doctors before giving any supplements to children. Formula-wise, our B12 is fine for children from toddler age and upwards. The level of B12 is high (due to many people, particularly vegans and vegetarians, being deficient) but the body takes what it needs and excretes the rest so there is no issue of taking too much from our product.

Vegetology The recommendations on doses of Vitamin B12 differ massively from person to person, based on a plethora of different considerations. Deficiency is a major issue across many demographics, not least Vegans and Vegetarians.As Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble Vitamin, the body takes what it needs, and the rest is excreted. Therefore a high dose is often recommended by Nutritionists and Health Practitioners so the body can recover from deficiency and benefit from as much B12 as it needs, with any surplus simply excreted.

Vegetology Yes. Some regions refer to "timed release", which is the same thing.
