Spray B12 children 3µg, 25ml

Vitamin B12 highly available as methylcobalamin

Vitamin B12 Spray is optimised for the preferences and needs of children. With the sweetness of xylitol, it is delicious and the spray form makes it easy to use, even if swallowing is difficult. Methylcobalamin is the form required by the body and is much better absorbed without conversion. Highly dosed, good absorption through the oral mucosa. In a low dosage suitable for children.

The quality is crucial

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) was only discovered in 1948. It is a very complex, large molecule and is required for the development of all cells in the body. Nerve cells in particular suffer from a deficiency. The best-selling B12 is the cheap cyanocobalamin. Although this is effective, it is not optimal as it first has to be converted for absorption. In the process, the not entirely uncritical cyanogen compound is released (better known as hydrocyanic acid).
A major advantage of B12 in spray form is that a large proportion of the vitamin B12 is absorbed immediately via the oral mucosa when it is sprayed into the mouth.
Methylcobalamin is the form required by the body and is much better absorbed without conversion.
The preservative potassium sorbate is harmless to children.

This generally applies to sorbates. Not to be confused with the harmful benzoates, which have the same intended use in food and foodstuffs, but are not used by responsible manufacturers.

Why B12 for children?

The following also applies to children: vegan and sometimes vegetarian diets often provide too little vitamin B12.
This also applies to breastfed children. According to a study (http://sciencenordic.com/exclusive-breastfeeding-may-cause-b12-deficiency-babies) from Denmark, breast milk contains enough vitamin B12 up to the 4th month of breastfeeding, after which the content decreases significantly.
It is certainly a good idea, especially for children at risk of allergies, to breastfeed for as long as possible and only introduce allergenic foods such as milk late in life.
However, vitamin B12 supplementation seems to make sense in this case. In contrast to very high-dose products for adults, Energybalance Vitamin B12 Spray Children contains only 3 µg. This means that there is no risk of overdosing with this product for children.
How do you recognise a deficiency in infants? We are not allowed to give any further details here, as a product description must not be a medical treatise, but here in this study you can find some indications of how this can be recognised:

What is also interesting about this article is the information that children who are already ill are treated with 1000 µg B12 intramuscularly.
For adults, even very high doses of up to 4000 µg are harmless, but unfortunately there are no studies for children and infants.
However, this type of treatment with 1000 µg by injection suggests that Energybalance B12 spray for children can certainly not cause an overdose.
