For example, pernicious anemia is an illness with neurological, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal symptoms that’s fatal if B12 levels are not restored sufficiently. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two main causes of low blood B12 levels. The first is insufficient dietary intake. Vegans who don’t supplement B12 are at high risk of deficiency because vitamin B12 is only found in meat, eggs, milk products, and certain types of yeast. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut even if you’re not following a strict vegan diet, you can still develop a B12 deficiency. That’s because absorption of B12 from foods depends on a substance called intrinsic factor--a protein released from the stomach cells to aid in B12 absorption from the small intestine. For instance, individuals taking proton-pump inhibitors or antacids for GERD are at risk of deficiency because these drugs interfere with the secretion of intrinsic factor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople with Celiac disease, Crohn’s disease or any other kind of inflammatory bowel condition are also at higher risk of deficiency because the absorptive surface of their small intestine is compromised, reducing nutrient absorption. Other individuals prone to deficiency include people over age 50 since production of intrinsic factor declines with age. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those at high risk of deficiency, supplementation is critical. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePure Lab’s BioActive B12 Sublingual is \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ea rapidly absorbed, biologically-active cobalamin. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt contains methylcobalamin, the biologically active form of vitamin B12 used by the body. This is more bioavailable than the commonly used cyanocobalamin.

After all, there’s no point to swallowing an oral dose of B12 if your absorption is compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pure Lab Vitamins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42962693030097,"sku":"ATN-PUR-VT-BMCG-F33","price":20.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/1299\/7329\/files\/pure-lab-vitamins-supplements-pure-lab-vitamins-agritech-north-796525.jpg?v=1745005218","url":"https:\/\/agritech-north.ca\/products\/b12-1000-mcg-90-sublingual-tablets","provider":"AgriTech North","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
