What forms of vitamin B12 are contained in it, and what are methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin?
Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 contains two forms: methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, each at 500 micrograms per capsule, totalling 1,000 micrograms. These are two of the four forms of vitamin B12 authorised in the EU; cyanocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin are not included. There is no approved EU health claim regarding any difference in efficacy between the four forms.
How much vitamin B12 do you get per day from one capsule, and what can you take it with?
One Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 capsule provides 1,000 micrograms of vitamin B12 per day, divided equally between methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.
That is 40,000 per cent of the reference intake of 2.5 micrograms: a high level of vitamin B12. Take one capsule a day with water.
It can be combined with other Ekopura products, such as magnesium, omega-3 or protein powders. Adhere to the recommended daily intake for each product. We only include Vitamin B12 in this product, so you won’t be taking a double dose of it. Please note: if you’re taking a multivitamin or B-complex from another brand, factor this into your intake and do not take the same daily dose twice.
Does Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 contain any allergens, and what ingredients are in it?
No, Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 does not contain any of the fourteen allergens that must be declared by law in the EU.
The five ingredients are rice concentrate, vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin), fatty acids as an anti-caking agent, silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent, and the plant-based HPMC capsule. It contains no sweeteners, flavourings or colourings: vitamin B12 without any unnecessary additives. That completes the list. Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 is produced in Europe. If you have any doubts about a specific ingredient, please ask us and we’ll look into it for you.
When do you take vitamin B12: morning or evening?
For Ekopura Vitamin B12 there is no fixed time: our dosage is one capsule a day with water. Pick a moment you remember easily, that is the best way to keep up daily use. If swallowing is difficult, take the capsule with a large sip of water.
B12 tablets, spray, capsules or injection: which form do you choose?
Ekopura Vitamin B12 is a plant-based capsule without sweetener or flavouring that you take yourself every day, and every capsule holds the same fixed amount.
A lozenge dissolves in the mouth and a tablet is usually swallowed; with both, check the pack for a flavouring or a sweetener. A spray is dosed in puffs, so the amount depends on how you use it. Which form you find more pleasant is a matter of preference. If your question is about an injection, that belongs with your doctor: it is a medical consideration and we cannot say anything about it.
Can I just take this supplement, and how do I know if I have a vitamin B12 deficiency?
Yes, you can take Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 even if you do not have a diagnosed deficiency; you cannot diagnose a vitamin B12 deficiency yourself: your GP will carry out a blood test for this.
It is a dietary supplement, not a medicine, so you do not need a confirmed diagnosis or a referral. It is a supplement to your daily diet and not a substitute for a varied diet. We do not assess blood test results or provide medical advice; the full list of ingredients is available on this page and on the packaging, so you can show it to your GP or pharmacist. You can read more about the symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency on our blog.
Is 1,000 micrograms too much, and does vitamin B12 have any side effects?
No, 1,000 micrograms is no more than our recommended intake: one Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 capsule per day.
The EFSA has not set an acceptable upper limit for vitamin B12. The figure of 40,000 compares those 1,000 micrograms to the reference intake of 2.5 micrograms and says nothing about an upper limit.
We cannot predict whether you will experience any side effects: this is a food supplement, not a medicine, and it does not come with a package leaflet. If you are taking any medicines or have a medical condition, please consult your GP or pharmacist first. If you notice anything that makes you feel unwell, stop taking it and discuss it with your GP.
Vitamin B12 and children, pregnancy or breastfeeding: what should you bear in mind?
If you wish to give Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 to a child, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a healthcare professional first.
The dosage is intended for adults. Children require a different dose; please consult your GP, pharmacist or child health clinic for advice.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your midwife, GP or pharmacist before taking this or any other supplement. One capsule provides 1,000 micrograms of vitamin B12; whether this amount is suitable for your situation is a question for your healthcare professional. Keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
Why does the powder in the vitamin B12 capsule turn red when it gets wet?
The powder in Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 turns reddish as soon as it gets wet, for example when you open a capsule and stir the powder into water.
This is the natural colour of vitamin B12. The colour does not indicate anything about the quality or shelf life of the product.
How long does a pack of 120 capsules last?
A pack of Ekopura Vegan Vitamin B12 contains 120 plant-based capsules and, at one capsule a day, is enough to last four months. That’s 120 doses per pack. The capsules come in minimalist packaging: a stand-up pouch. If you’d rather not reorder every four months, why not consider a subscription?
