| What is Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray? | Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray is a food supplement in spray form containing 3 different physiological vitamin B12 compounds. Vitamin B12 is a collective term for various compounds with the same basic structure, known as «cobalamins», including adenosylcobalamin, cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin and methylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is rarely found in nature, unlike the physiological vitamin B12 compounds used in Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray. |
| Why does B12 Trio Dosage Spray contain 3 different vitamin B12 compounds? | Vitamin B12 occurs in different biological forms, including adenosylcobalamin, cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin and methylcobalamin. The actual vitamin B12 is bound to a «carrier molecule». The bioavailability (i.e. how well the body can absorb and utilise it) of the various vitamin B12 compounds differs considerably. Relatively inexpensive mass-market products often contain the particularly low-cost cyanocobalamin, which must first be converted by the body and is therefore not as readily utilised as the physiological B12 cobalamins. The physiological B12 forms methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin (also referred to as the extrinsic factor) have high bioavailability and can be rapidly absorbed by the body. Hydroxocobalamin is a so-called storage form of vitamin B12. Although hydroxocobalamin is not absorbed quite as efficiently by the body as methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin, it can be stored much more effectively. In other words, while methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin primarily provide a direct supply of vitamin B12, hydroxocobalamin can be stored effectively by the body. |
| What functions does vitamin B12 have in the body? | Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Children are active every day: they learn, play, move around and discover new things. The body needs energy for all these activities. Vitamin B12 helps the body convert food into energy. Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. A long school day, an active daily routine or many new experiences can be tiring. Vitamin B12 supports normal bodily functions associated with tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. The nervous system is like a communication network within the body. It helps transmit signals between the brain, muscles and organs. Vitamin B12 supports this function. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function. A stable inner balance is important, for example, for learning, concentration and processing numerous impressions and experiences. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation. Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout the body. Oxygen is needed everywhere, for example in the muscles, brain and organs. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Numerous metabolic processes take place in the body every day. One of these involves homocysteine. Vitamin B12 supports this metabolic process. |
| How should Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray be dosed? | Children aged 4 to 12 years: 1 spray daily. Children aged 12 years and over and adolescents: Depending on individual needs, height and weight, 1 to 3 sprays daily, either all at once or spread throughout the day. 1 spray contains 4 µg of vitamin B12. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. Methods of use |
| How long can Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray be used? | Food supplements can be taken for as long as there is a need for the nutrients they contain. |
| What makes Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray different from other products? | Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray contains three physiological vitamin B12 compounds (methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin). These forms differ in their bioavailability and storage capacity and complement each other: methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin primarily provide a direct supply of vitamin B12, while hydroxocobalamin serves as a storage form. In contrast, many inexpensive mass-market products often contain cyanocobalamin, which must first be converted by the body. The dosage spray form also offers the advantages of easy application and individual dosing, with 4 µg of vitamin B12 per spray. |
| Why does Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray contain excipients? | The potassium sorbate contained in the product acts as a preservative and prevents the growth of yeasts and moulds. As potassium sorbate works best in an acidic environment, magnesium citrate is also added to the product. It helps stabilise the pH value and thus contributes to consistent product quality throughout the entire shelf life. |
| Does Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray contain any known allergens? | Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and alcohol-free. It contains no allergens in accordance with Annex 6 of the Ordinance of the FDHA on Food Information. |
| How should Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray be stored? | Alpinamed B12 Trio Kids Dosage Spray should be stored in its original packaging, out of reach of young children and protected from light. |
