Vitamin B12 – An essential vitamin

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, belongs to the group of water-soluble B vitamins.

It performs numerous important functions in the human body and is particularly required for the normal function of the nervous system, blood formation and various metabolic processes.

Unlike many other water-soluble vitamins, vitamin B12 can be stored in larger quantities in the body, especially in the liver.

Since the human body cannot produce vitamin B12 itself, it must be regularly obtained through the diet.

Three forms of vitamin B12 in one capsule

NICAPUR® Vitamin B12 500 contains three different cobalamin compounds.

Methylcobalamin – Active form of vitamin B12

Methylcobalamin is a biologically active form of vitamin B12.

It serves as a cofactor for the enzyme methionine synthase and is thus involved in homocysteine metabolism.

Each capsule contains 200 µg of vitamin B12 from methylcobalamin.

Hydroxycobalamin – Convertible form of vitamin B12

Hydroxycobalamin is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12.

The body can convert hydroxycobalamin into the biologically active forms methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.

Each capsule contains 200 µg of vitamin B12 from hydroxycobalamin.

Adenosylcobalamin – Active coenzyme form

5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, also known as adenosylcobalamin, is a biologically active coenzyme form of vitamin B12.

It is particularly involved in the metabolism of certain amino acids and fatty acids in the mitochondria.

Each capsule contains 100 µg of vitamin B12 from adenosylcobalamin.

Vitamin B12 for the nerves and mind

Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and normal psychological function.

It is involved in various metabolic processes required for the normal function of nerve cells.

A severe vitamin B12 deficiency can cause neurological symptoms. Adequate supply is therefore particularly important.

Vitamin B12 for energy and blood formation

Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

It also supports the normal formation of red blood cells.

A severe vitamin B12 deficiency can impair blood formation.

Vitamin B12 in vegetarian and vegan diets

Vitamin B12 is found in relevant amounts mainly in animal-based foods, such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products.

A purely plant-based diet therefore requires reliable vitamin B12 supplementation.

Vitamin B12 absorption may also be reduced in older people or when taking certain medications.

NICAPUR® Vitamin B12 500 – Targeted supply

NICAPUR® Vitamin B12 500 combines three different vitamin B12 compounds in a high-dose formulation.

The daily dose provides a total of 500 µg of vitamin B12.

It is possible to combine several forms of vitamin B12. However, a generally better clinical efficacy compared to a suitable single form of vitamin B12 has not been clearly proven.
