The current formula per daily lozenge
| Nutrient | Amount | NRV | Form |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin B12 | 1,000 µg | 40,000% | Methylcobalamin |
| Folate | 400 µg | 200% | Calcium-L-methylfolate |
NRV means Nutrient Reference Value. It is a labelling reference for adults, not a promise that a larger percentage produces a larger benefit. The current manufacturer formula replaces the earlier pteroylmonoglutamic-acid folic-acid ingredient with calcium-L-methylfolate while keeping 400 µg per lozenge. The exact EAN has been matched before this guide was prepared.
Full verified ingredient list
Sweeteners (sorbitol, xylitol), natural lemon powder, acidity regulator (malic acid), vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), folate (calcium-L-methylfolate).
How to take the lozenge
Adults take one lozenge daily. The manufacturer directs users to suck or chew the tablet rather than swallow it whole. Do not exceed the recommended dose. A consistent place in an existing routine can be more useful than changing the timing from day to day.
What the authorised nutrient claims say
At the labelled dose, the product provides enough vitamin B12 and folate to use authorised EU nutrient-function wording. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal red blood cell formation and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Folate contributes to normal blood formation, normal psychological function and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
These are normal-function claims. They do not mean the product diagnoses or treats a deficiency, guarantees more energy, or replaces medical investigation of persistent fatigue or neurological symptoms.
Suitability, allergens and safety
- Vegan: yes, according to the current manufacturer and retailer product information.
- Allergens: no specific allergen is highlighted in the verified online ingredient list. If you have allergies, check the physical label before use because the pack is the final reference.
- Polyols: the lozenges contain xylitol and sorbitol. Excessive consumption may have a laxative effect.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: folate has an authorised role in maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, but this product should not be treated as a substitute for individual prenatal advice. Ask a midwife, doctor or pharmacist whether the form and dose fit your plan.
- Medicines and health conditions: ask a qualified healthcare professional before use if you take medicines or are under medical supervision.
- Children: keep out of reach of young children; the verified dose is for adults.
- Certification: vegan suitability is stated, but no independent certification has been verified for this listing.
How to read this label well
1. Match the exact variant
Use the EAN, count and format—not a similar B12 product name. Holistic sells multiple B-vitamin products with different formats and formulas.
2. Separate amount from function
The table tells you what is supplied; authorised claims describe normal nutrient functions. Neither replaces assessment of symptoms or blood results.
3. Notice the delivery format
This is a sweetened lozenge, not a capsule. That matters for how it is taken and for the polyol warning.
4. Check your whole routine
If you use other B-complex or multivitamin products, compare their B12 and folate amounts before combining them. See our label-first guide to avoiding B-vitamin stacking.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a tablet or a lozenge?
It is listed as a tablet, but the intended use is as a lemon-flavoured lozenge that should be sucked or chewed.
Why is the B12 percentage 40,000%?
That figure compares 1,000 µg with the EU adult NRV. It does not mean the body uses 40,000% of a daily requirement, and it is not a benefit score.
Is the folate still ordinary folic acid?
The current formula uses calcium-L-methylfolate. Some older listings show pteroylmonoglutamic acid; this guide follows the current manufacturer formula matched to the exact EAN.
Can it replace a varied diet?
No. Food supplements should complement—not replace—a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
