Buy Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin Novoma: the active, bioavailable form
Novoma’s Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin offers the most active, well-absorbed form of B12. Each capsule delivers 1,000µg. 120 capsules provide a four-month course at 1 capsule a day — particularly recommended for vegetarians, vegans and anyone wanting to maintain healthy B12 status. Available at our Paris shop, with Click & Collect and delivery across France and Europe.
Why B12 matters
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is essential for normal nervous system function, red blood cell formation, energy metabolism and cell division. Unlike other B vitamins, it’s found almost exclusively in animal-derived foods (meat, fish, eggs, dairy), which is why vegetarians and vegans are particularly at risk of deficiency — as are older adults, whose digestive absorption capacity declines with age, and people on certain medications.
Nervous system, energy & red blood cells
B12 helps maintain the myelin sheath protecting nerve fibres and contributes to normal nervous system function and normal psychological function (EFSA). It also contributes to normal energy metabolism and reduced tiredness and fatigue, and is essential for normal red blood cell formation — a deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anaemia, marked by intense fatigue, breathlessness and pallor.
Homocysteine metabolism & cell division
As methylcobalamin, B12 acts as a coenzyme converting homocysteine into methionine, contributing to keeping homocysteine levels within the normal range — complementary to the roles of vitamins B6 and B9 in the same pathway. B12 is also required for DNA synthesis, supporting normal cell division and renewal, particularly in fast-dividing cells like blood and immune cells.
How to use
Take 1 capsule a day with a large glass of water, with a meal (dietary protein aids intestinal B12 absorption) — morning or evening both work. A 120-capsule bottle provides a 4-month course. For strict vegans, continuous supplementation is recommended rather than occasional courses, since a plant-based diet has no reliable B12 source; periodic blood testing is advisable.
Quality & frequently asked questions
A minimalist formula of just three ingredients — acacia gum, a vegetable K-Caps capsule, and methylcobalamin — with no magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, colourings or artificial flavours, suiting vegetarian and vegan diets.
Is 1,000µg a day too much?
No — this dose is considered safe and commonly used in supplementation. B12 is water-soluble, with excess naturally cleared by the kidneys, and no maximum tolerable level has been set by European authorities.
How long before I feel the effects?
Initial effects, particularly reduced fatigue, are usually noticed after two to four weeks; full reserve replenishment can take several months, so a 3–4 month course is recommended.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes — the K-Caps capsule and acacia gum excipient are plant-based, and the methylcobalamin is produced by bacterial fermentation with no animal ingredients.
