Eligen B12, 30 vegetarian tablets

Eligen® B12
30 vegetarian tablets
Item Catalog Number: 01403

Insufficient levels of the essential vitamin B12 in the body can lead to transitory memory loss, weakness, and fatigue. These debilitating symptoms become more common as people age due to difficulties absorbing the vitamin from food. Those at risk for a deficiency often endure inconvenient injections to increase their blood concentration of vitamin B12.

Eligen® B12 is designed to overcome these hurdles with a patented rapid absorption system that delivers a peak concentration of B12 into the bloodstream within just 30 minutes — a staggering improvement over the 6.8 hour absorption time of standard B12 tablets.1 This enhanced bioavailability ensures optimum B12 blood levels.

Using cutting-edge technology, Eligen® B12 utilizes a special carrier known as SNAC {sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl) amino] caprylate} to facilitate the delivery of B12 molecules through passive transport. The carrier changes the permeability and fluidity of the gastric epithelium, making it more permeable to vitamin B12, which leads to significantly higher absorption rates.
