Activated B-12 for Energy and Healthy Detoxification
PERQUE Activated B-12 Guard comes in lozenge form for excellent uptake and delivery. PERQUE's studies on its Activated B-12 Guard lozenge formulation show B-12 uptake comparable to injection.
Vitamin B-12 in our food supply is estimated to be 78% less than in the 1960s, so diet alone may not provide enough of this important nutrient. Stress and reduced stomach acid and intrinsic factor production can also limit absorption. The most commonly used forms of B-12 require activation in the body, so uptake is often low.
PERQUE delivers vitamin B-12 in its activated hydroxocobalamin form. Although it is more expensive and difficult to obtain, hydroxocobalamin lasts longer and raises B-12 blood levels higher than other forms, which is why it is the only form PERQUE uses. Hydroxocobalamin requires no intrinsic factor and is taken up directly through the mucous membranes. The body converts it to methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin as needed.
Optimal B-12 levels help keep SAMe (S-adenosyl methionine) in its beneficial form. SAMe supports the production of brain chemicals and healthy detoxification.
- 2000 mcg activated hydroxocobalamin per lozenge
- Lozenge form for direct uptake through the mucous membranes

Frequently Asked Questions
What form of B-12 does it use?
Hydroxocobalamin. It is the activated form that lasts longer and raises B-12 blood levels higher than other forms.
Why a lozenge?
For direct uptake. Hydroxocobalamin is taken up directly through the mucous membranes and requires no intrinsic factor.
Why might I need extra B-12?
Diet alone may fall short. B-12 in our food supply is estimated to be 78% less than in the 1960s, and stress can limit absorption.
How does B-12 relate to SAMe?
It keeps SAMe in its beneficial form. SAMe supports the production of brain chemicals and healthy detoxification.
