Sisu Sisu - Vitamin B12 1000mcg, 60 veg caps

Sisu Vitamin B12 - 1000 mcg - Required to prevent anemia, Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) also aids Folic Acid in regulating the formulation of red blood cells and helps in the utilization of iron. Required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, synthesis of protein, and metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, maintenance of Vitamin B12 levels is crucial for vibrant health and well-being. Strict vegetarians and seniors require B12 supplementation, as it is found almost exclusively in animal tissues.

What the research supports

One capsule gives 1,000 mcg of B12 as cyanocobalamin. 60 capsules lasts two months.

Studies use 1,000 mcg of B12 a day to restore levels.

Low B12 (evidence: strong, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
Only a small fraction of a large oral B12 dose crosses the gut wall, but 1,000 mcg is enough to push it through anyway. Trials at this dose reliably normalize B12 markers.
Plant-based B12 (evidence: strong, from randomized controlled trial, meta-analysis)
B12 comes only from animal foods, so a plant-based diet has no dietary source at all. Daily supplementation in this range is what keeps blood markers in a normal range.
Energy (evidence: limited, from randomized controlled trial)
B12 is needed to make red blood cells and nerve coating, but only if levels are actually low. In people who test normal already, adding more hasn't raised energy in trials.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

Vegans and long-term vegetarians
B12 comes almost entirely from animal foods, and 1000 mcg daily is the intake that dependably holds B12 status on a plant-based diet.
Adults over 50 with lower stomach acid
Releasing B12 from food needs stomach acid, but the 1000 mcg here is free crystalline B12 and about 1 percent absorbs passively without it.
Anyone wanting B12 without paying for methyl
Cyanocobalamin is the cheapest and most stable form, and no trial has clearly shown a methylated version leaving people better off at the same dose.

Look elsewhere if

People who prefer an activated form
Methylcobalamin at the same 1000 mcg. The body converts cyanocobalamin without trouble, but if you would rather skip both the conversion and the trace cyanide group, that is the direct swap.
Anyone with reduced kidney function
Methylcobalamin or hydroxocobalamin, since the small cyanide group released from cyanocobalamin is cleared by the kidneys. Worth raising with a practitioner first.
Someone who cannot swallow capsules
A sublingual tablet at the same 1000 mcg, which dissolves under the tongue instead.

What to expect

If your B12 was genuinely low, blood levels move within days but the tiredness side of it usually takes 4 to 8 weeks to shift. If your B12 was already fine, there is nothing to feel and the surplus leaves in urine.

How it compares

Compared with a sublingual methylcobalamin tablet
Cyanocobalamin carries most of the oral B12 trial data, costs less per dose, and holds up better against light and heat on the shelf. The tradeoff: You swallow it rather than dissolving it, and anyone who wants an already-active form, or who has reduced kidney function, is usually pointed to methylcobalamin.
