    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, B-12

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question

    • What happens if I take NOW Foods, B-12 every day?

      Taking NOW Foods, B-12 daily can help maintain adequate levels of this essential vitamin in your body. Regular supplementation may support energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system health, potentially leading to improved overall well-being and reduced risk of B12 deficiency.

    • Can too much B12 damage kidneys?

      Excess B12 is generally not associated with kidney damage, as it is a water-soluble vitamin that the body can eliminate through urine. However, very high doses of B12 may be unnecessary for most people and could potentially mask underlying health issues.

    • What is a good brand of B12?

      NOW Foods is considered a reputable brand for B12 supplements, known for their quality and purity standards. When choosing a B12 supplement, it's important to consider factors such as the form of B12 used, dosage, and any additional ingredients to find one that best suits your needs.

    • Which vitamin B12 is best for seniors?

      For seniors, a B12 supplement in the form of methylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin is often recommended due to potential absorption issues. Sublingual or liquid forms may be particularly beneficial for older adults who may have difficulty absorbing B12 from food sources.

    • Which tablet is best for vitamin B12?

      The best vitamin B12 tablet depends on individual needs and preferences. NOW Foods offers various B12 formulations, including sublingual tablets and capsules. Sublingual tablets may be particularly effective as they dissolve under the tongue, potentially improving absorption.

    • Who cannot take B12?

      Most people can safely take B12 supplements, but individuals with certain conditions should exercise caution. Those with Leber's disease, a rare eye condition, should avoid cyanocobalamin forms of B12. Additionally, people with certain types of cancer or blood disorders should consult before starting B12 supplementation.
