Our assessment
The evidence shows that while this product is labeled as Nature Made Vitamin B12 1000 mcg, the data provided focuses on the mineral calcium, not vitamin B12. Our assessment is that we cannot make any claims about the effectiveness of this specific B12 product based on the information available. Data not available for vitamin B12 efficacy.
How it works
Based on the data provided, the ingredient calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, since this product is vitamin B12, not calcium, the mechanism of action for this particular supplement is not supported by the provided data. Data not available for vitamin B12 mechanism.
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific report counts for this product are data not available. The data on calcium notes that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer, and can cause side effects such as constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS]. However, these are side effects for calcium, not vitamin B12. Data not available for vitamin B12 side effects.
