Why Choose Methylcobalamin?
Not all B12 supplements are the same. The two main forms are cyanocobalamin and methylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic, stable form that requires conversion in the body to become active. Methylcobalamin, however, is already in its active coenzyme form, meaning it can be used directly without any conversion. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with genetic variations that affect methylation or for those seeking optimal absorption.
DEVA's formula uses 100% methylcobalamin, making it a body-friendly choice. The sublingual delivery method—where the tablet dissolves under the tongue—allows for absorption directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This can be especially advantageous for those with absorption challenges. The tablets are also vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free, meeting strict dietary standards. They are manufactured in a cGMP-certified facility, ensuring quality you can trust.

Who Should Consider a Vitamin B12 Supplement?
Certain groups are at higher risk for low B12 levels and may benefit from supplementation:
-
Vegans and vegetarians: Since B12 is predominantly found in animal products, those following a plant-based diet often need supplementary sources.
-
Older adults: Ageing can reduce stomach acid production, which is needed to absorb B12 from food.
-
Individuals with digestive conditions: Conditions like Crohn's disease, coeliac disease, or pernicious anaemia can impair absorption.
-
People on certain medications: Proton pump inhibitors and metformin may interfere with B12 absorption.
-
Those seeking extra energy support: B12 helps convert food into usable energy, making it popular amongst individuals with active lifestyles.
Even if you don't fall into these categories, maintaining optimal B12 levels supports overall wellness.
What Is Vitamin B12 and Why Do You Need It?
Vitamin B12 is an essential water-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in maintaining healthy nerve cells, supporting DNA synthesis, and aiding in red blood cell formation. It is also necessary for converting food into energy—a process your body relies on every day. Unlike some vitamins, B12 is not naturally found in plant-based foods in significant amounts, making supplementation especially important for those following vegan or vegetarian diets.
The body stores B12 in the liver, but deficiency can still occur due to inadequate intake or absorption issues. Common deficiency symptoms include fatigue, weakness, memory problems, and numbness or tingling in the hands and feet. Ensuring adequate B12 intake through a high-quality supplement helps maintain optimal body function.
Recommended Dosage and How to Uses
For adults, take one (1) fast-dissolve lozenge daily, or as directed by your health care professional. Place the tablet under your tongue and allow it to dissolve completely before swallowing. This method is especially convenient for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
Each bottle contains 90 lozenges—a three-month supply if taken daily. This pack of two provides six months of support. Store in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
