Overview
NOW Foods' B-12 lozenges provide 2,000 mcg of vitamin B12 per chewable lozenge, aimed at energy production and nervous system support, in a 100-count kosher, vegan and vegetarian formula free of abalone-derived ingredients.
Vitamin B12 is commonly taken by people on plant-based diets or those with absorption concerns, since B12 occurs mainly in animal products. The chewable lozenge format skips swallowing a pill and lets the vitamin begin dissolving in the mouth.
- 2,000 mcg vitamin B12 per lozenge
- 100 chewable lozenges
- Kosher, vegan and vegetarian
- Abalone free
Who it's for
Fits people wanting a high-dose, chewable B12 supplement, particularly those following vegan or vegetarian diets who may fall short on dietary B12. Not needed by someone already getting adequate B12 through diet or another supplement.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- High 2,000 mcg B12 dose per lozenge
- Chewable format, no swallowing pills
- Kosher, vegan and vegetarian
- 100-count supply is moderate, not bulk-sized
- Unflavored chewable may not appeal to everyone
Performance notes
At 2,000 mcg per lozenge, this is a high dose relative to typical daily B12 requirements, chewable rather than swallowed whole, which some people find easier to take consistently. Being unflavored, it avoids added sugars or artificial flavoring common in chewable supplements.
