All our vitamin B12 supplements are high quality and non-GMO, with full ingredient traceability within the UK.
Our B12 is entirely plant-based. That makes it ideal for vegans and vegetarians who might be vitamin B12 deficient.
Within a month of taking Thriva’s Vitamin B12, my levels were where they needed to be! I’m really happy with the quality of the supplements and will continue to purchase via Thriva!
Vitamin B12 gives you more energy
Your body needs vitamin B12, but it can be challenging to get enough. Especially if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. Taking a supplement can help if you’ve got a deficiency. By taking this vitamin B12 supplement, you might:
Support your energy levels
Vitamin B12 contributes to reduced tiredness and fatigue.
Promote a healthier pregnancy
Low levels of vitamin B12 during pregnancy can cause birth defects in your baby’s brain, spine, or spinal cord.

Vitamin B12 helps you form healthy red blood cells and maintain a normal nervous system.
Recommended by GPs
“A lot of people aren’t getting enough vitamin B12. It’s affecting 6% of people under 60. And 20% of people over 60.
In the late stages, a vitamin B12 deficiency can cause problems like anaemia and nerve problems.
Our tablets contain methylcobalamin — the active form of B12 — which is a safe and effective way to boost your levels.”

Regular blood tests are the best way to find out whether your vitamin B12 supplements are getting your levels to where they need to be. You’ll no longer need to take supplements when your levels become optimal.
Take a vitamins blood test before and after your first course of vitamin B12 supplements, and see if your levels are different. We’ll send you a 10% discount on your first blood test after you purchase your supplements.
Your GP-reviewed results include lifestyle advice on improving or maintaining your vitamin B12 levels.

What is the correct dosage for this supplement?
1 capsule provides 1000µg
The best way to know the right dosage for you is to take a Thriva blood test
1000µg a day is considered safe and can help correct deficiencies.
Some people are considered at higher risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. Consider taking a supplement if you:
- Follow a vegan or plant-based diet
- Are over 50 years old
Do not take over 2000µg a day
All dosages are for adults aged 18 years and older
Can I take this supplement if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are deficient, B12 is safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Pregnant women have a higher daily requirement of B12 — and not having enough during pregnancy can cause birth defects of the brain, spine or spinal cord.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking any food supplement.
Who should not take this supplement?
Speak to your GP before taking a supplement if you:
have a condition that affects your nutrient absorption — like pernicious anaemia, or have had a bariatric surgery.
- are allergic to Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
- are allergic to cobalt
Some medicines may reduce the amount of B12 that’s absorbed from the supplements or food you eat into your gut. This will not usually have a noticeable effect, however, speak to your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications:
- metformin for diabetes
- oral contraceptives
- anti acid medication — like Gavison, H2 blockers like ranitidine, or proton pump inhibitors like lansoprazole, or omeprazole
