Prairie Naturals 00267 Sublingual B12 Tablets with Folic Acid, Cherry

A sublingual format lets each tablet dissolve under the tongue, making this Prairie Naturals B12 supplement a practical daily option for adults who prefer a dissolving tablet to one they swallow whole. It combines 1,000 mcg of vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin with 500 mcg of folic acid, in a natural cherry flavour and a 90-tablet bottle.

Vitamin B12 helps the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and helps form red blood cells. The vegetarian formula also includes folic acid, which helps prevent folate deficiency. For adults looking to add both nutrients in one daily tablet, the combination keeps the routine straightforward.
