“Who Else Wants Improved Energy, Improved Mental Clarity, and a Good Nights Sleep?”
The damage of gluten combined with diet pitfalls and aging can deplete this nutrient rapidly and lead to lack of energy, headache, weight gain, poor memory, and many other health issues. The good news…supplementation can help restore the balance of B-12 back to your body…
High Quality, TRUE Gluten Free Vitamin B-12 Lozenge
Gluten free, one of these potent vitamin B-12 lozenges provides 5,000 mcg of activated vitamin B-12.
Vitamin B-12 deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in those with gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. Because gluten can damage both the acid producing cells of the stomach as well as the carrier shuttle for vitamin B-12, the deficit can be present even when the diet contains adequate quantities. Remember that vitamin B-12 is only found in meat (chicken, beef, fish, eggs, lamb, pork, etc). Those trying to follow a vegetarian diet are also at high risk for developing a vitamin B-12 deficiency.
Why is Vitamin B-12 So Important?
This critical nutrient plays a role in many important functions. Some of them include:
- Repair and replication of DNA and RNA (necessary for growth and healing)
- Production of the insulation that surrounds the nerves in the brain and spinal cord
- Protection from cardiovascular disease
- Protection from the development of dementia and neuropathy
- Maintenance of energy production
- Aids in sleep regulation by helping produce melatonin
How Do We Get Adequate B-12 Levels?
Meats and animal products are rich in vitamin B12. The nutrient is broken down from these animal foods in our stomach through the action of acid. Afterwards, it is picked up by intrinsic factor and shuttled into our small intestine to be absorbed into the blood stream. Those with gluten damage to the stomach and intestines have a very difficult time digesting and absorbing this vitamin. Often times it can take 6 months to a year on a gluten free diet to begin processing vitamin B12 properly. That is why supplementation can play a valuable role in health recovery.
Not All Forms of Vitamin B-12 Are Created Equally
Most supplements on the market contain an type of B-12 called cyanocobalamin. This form of B-12 is inferior when compared to Methylcobalamin. Research shows that methylcobalamin (the same type as used in my formulation) has superior bio availability than other forms commonly used in over the counter and prescription supplements. This form of the vitamin is better utilized and recognized by the body. It is the form that the body uses as a co-enzyme for the activation of many important chemical reactions. Even most injectable forms of B-12 are found in an inferior cyanocobalamin form. The three most common types of B-12 on the market are as follows (listed in order of best to worst):
- Methylcobalamin
- Hydroxycobalamin
- Cyanocobalamin

Problems Linked to B-12 Deficiency
What Makes Dr. Osborne’s Formula Different From Other B-12 Supplements?
My formulation is designed to absorb through the capillaries under your tongue and in your cheek cells. This is accomplished by using an easy to take lozenge that dissolves in the mouth. No painful injections or nausea from taking B-complex supplements. Bypassing the stomach ensures that past gluten induced damage will not hinder your body’s ability to utilize this special formulation.
Most supplements contain marginal doses of vitamin B-12 (100-200 mcg). My formulation was designed specifically for the gluten sensitive, and it delivers 5,000 mcg per dose. Each bottle contains 60 lozenges. The recommended dose is 1-2 lozenges per day, so a bottle can last for up to two months depending on your dose. It is free of gluten, soy, dairy, egg, yeast, sugar, and artificial flavors.

I am supporting my husband in going gluten free. While I have understood the basics for a while, digging in deeper I found more foods that could be causing him pain. 100% vitamin C and still there could be corn? Now I find his medication has corn and/or rice starch. Hard to get away from grains. It is a relief to know there is one place I can confidently purchase supplements. The products came quickly and as expected. Thank you Gluten Free society!

I have been a vegan for 14 years. After 2 1/2 year I started getting headaches (I am not a headache person), and a friend suggested I do B12 (Cyanocobalamin) injections. A few months ago, I started feeling tired and fatigued. (When I was a baby, I was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency). I tried Dr. Osborne’s Methyl cobalamin supplement. I chose Dr. Osborne’s supplement because I am also gluten-sensitive (have been for fifty years). It has worked miracles. Within a few days I started feeling like myself again and my energy returned!!! I can now go, go, go for 16 hour a day and not feel fatigued. Thank you, Dr. Osborne!

Faith (verified purchase) –
I love the high potency of this B12 supplement. I’ve been low B12 for well over a decade… despite taking B12 supplements on and off, and I have neuropathy as a result. But with this high potency B12 supplement I expect to get my B12 levels to the upper-normal range. I’ve been taking it daily for over two weeks now and have noticeably more energy and better sleep.
