Sisu Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin - 5000 mcg - Together with vitamin B6 and folic acid, vitamin B12 is one of the powerhouse trio of B vitamins that help to decrease and normalize the homocysteine levels in our body. Increased homocysteine levels can cause the build-up of plaques in the artery walls (atherosclerosis), which can lead to heart disease or stroke. B12 deficiency is also associated with complications in pregnancies and neurological disorders. Vitamin B12 is also essential to help regulate the hormonal balance in pregnant and menopausal women and also in those using oral contraceptives. Vitamin B12 supplementation is recommended at any age, but it may be particularly beneficial for older people who suffer from age-related degenerative conditions and for people who have a vegetarian or a vegan diet as it is found in meat and seafood.

Why people keep reordering it

Active methylated forms: B vitamins in the forms your body can put to use right away.
Mood and hormone balance: Supports healthy methylation, mood and hormonal rhythm.
Energy at the cellular level: Feeds the pathways behind steady, real energy.

Best suited to: people who would rather dose weekly, anyone told their b12 is low, people who will not swallow capsules.

What the research supports

One tablet gives 5000 mcg of methylcobalamin, five times the common 1000 mcg strength. Sixty tablets last about two months at one a day.

Studies use 1000 mcg a day.

Heart health (evidence: moderate, from ): B12 hands off a methyl group that clears a compound linked to artery damage from the blood. Taken with folate, it reliably brings that process down, one input into long-term heart health.
Energy (evidence: limited, from randomized controlled trial): Extra B12 beyond what your body needs does not speed up energy production, so if your levels are already normal this tablet is unlikely to feel different.

Is it right for you

Worth it if

People who would rather dose weekly: 5000 mcg in a single tablet sits well past what weekly B12 guidance calls for, so 60 tablets can cover a very long stretch.
Anyone told their B12 is low: A larger single dose pushes more B12 through the roughly 1 percent passive route while a practitioner works out why it dropped.
People who will not swallow capsules: A cherry-flavoured mannitol tablet with no artificial sweeteners dissolves in the mouth instead of going down whole.

Look elsewhere if

Anyone simply maintaining a plant-based diet: The 1000 mcg version of the same methylcobalamin. It is the studied maintenance amount and costs less per day.
People chasing energy from a bigger dose: If B12 is already normal, more of it does nothing. Iron status, vitamin D and sleep are the more likely places to look, starting with bloodwork.
Anyone with reduced kidney function: Check with a practitioner before taking B12 at this level, since clearing what the body does not use depends on the kidneys.

What to expect

Blood B12 rises within days of starting, but how you feel lags by 4 to 8 weeks if it was low to begin with. At 60 tablets this is two months of daily use, or far longer on a weekly schedule. If your B12 was already normal, nothing changes.

How it compares

Compared with the 1000 mcg methylcobalamin tablet: Five times the B12 per tablet, which makes a weekly or every-few-days schedule realistic rather than a daily habit you have to remember. The tradeoff: It costs more per tablet, and on a daily schedule there is no evidence it leaves you better off than 1000 mcg, so most of the extra is passed in urine.
