AlphaZomal™ Vitamin B12 is liposomal vitamin B12 for enhanced absorption and utilisation. Each capsule supplies 250 µg of methylcobalamin — the methylated, body-ready form of B12 — carried on D-ribose, with a one-or-two-a-day dose so that intake can be adjusted to need. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, normal red blood cell formation, normal homocysteine metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The advantage of liposomal-form nutrients is that they are held inside a double phospholipid layer — the material of our own cell membranes — so they are absorbed more efficiently. Over 90% of the vitamin B12 in this supplement is in liposomal form. No heat, high pressure, solvents, freeze drying or spray drying are used in production, so the nutrients reach you clean and intact.
AlphaZomal Vitamin B12 contains:
- Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), 250 µg per capsule: Methylcobalamin is one of the two forms of B12 the body actually uses, and needs no conversion, unlike the cyanocobalamin found in most cheaper supplements. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, normal red blood cell formation, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal function of the immune system, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the process of cell division.
- D-Ribose, 382 mg per capsule: A five-carbon sugar that occurs naturally in every cell, where it forms the backbone of ATP, the molecule in which cells store and carry energy. It serves here as the carrier for the liposomal B12, a small part of it within the liposomes themselves.
No added sugar, no flavourings, no preservatives. Soya-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan.
Directions: As a food supplement, take 1 or 2 capsules a day with water, preferably at mealtimes, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

For vegans and vegetarians, for older people, and for anyone who tires easily or whose diet or digestion limits their B12 intake, AlphaZomal™ Vitamin B12 offers the vitamin in its body-ready form with the absorption problem solved.
AlphaZomal™ Vitamin B12 tackles the two weaknesses of ordinary B12 supplements. The first is the form. Most use cyanocobalamin, a stable synthetic molecule that the body must first strip of its cyanide group and convert before it can be used; methylcobalamin is one of the two forms found in human tissue and is ready for use as it is. The second is absorption. Vitamin B12 is unusual among vitamins in needing a dedicated carrier protein, intrinsic factor, to be absorbed in the small intestine; that mechanism weakens with age and is affected by low stomach acid, some common medicines and digestive conditions, so a good deal of ordinary B12 simply passes through. Wrapping the vitamin in liposomes gives it a route across the gut wall that does not depend on intrinsic factor.
Vitamin B12 occurs naturally only in foods of animal origin, which is why vegans and vegetarians are advised to supplement it as a matter of course. The 250 µg dose per capsule may look large against the 2.5 µg reference intake, but B12 is water-soluble, the fraction absorbed falls as the dose rises, and no upper safe level has been set; one capsule is a sound daily maintenance dose, two for anyone who wants more.
The capsules may be opened and the contents stirred into food or a cold drink for anyone who prefers not to swallow capsules. The product is supplied in an amber glass jar to protect the contents from light.
