Not all forms of vitamin B12 show the same level of efficacy. Conventional supplements often contain only synthetic forms of vitamin B12, which must first be converted into biologically active forms by the body before they can be utilised. Sunday Natural Vitamin B12 MH3A® provides the full spectrum of natural and bioactive forms of vitamin B12.
Conventional vitamin B12 supplements usually contain only one active ingredient. However, several active forms of B12 occur in our bodies and in natural foods. All forms exhibit different effects and are metabolised in part via different pathways, resulting in absorption rates unique to every individual.
Although standard practice to supply vitamin B12 in an isolated, synthetic context, our pioneering MH3A® formula offers the vitamin in the same way as it occurs in food: as a mixture of all three natural and bioactive forms, which allows the natural synergistic effects between them to occur (they each fulfil completely different tasks in the body and have different focal points of action). Our MH3A® formula contains these three forms of vitamin B12 in an equal ratio, spread across a total of five active forms of B12. This formula thus provides a foundational supply of vitamin B12 as found in nature, where all three forms are always found in a harmonious combination, both in our bodies and in the foods we eat. In contrast, the majority of products available on the market contain only one of the three B12 active ingredients: either methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin or adenosylcobalamin.
The only other ingredient is premium gum arabic, cultivated without the use of plant protection products. In contrast to microcrystalline cellulose, a widely used synthetic filler often mixed with nanoparticles, gum arabic is a natural, fibre-rich food. The soluble dietary fibres serve as a food source for bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the intestine. Our fair trade gum arabic is climate neutral and is sustainably cultivated to conserve resources.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.
