Nature's Plus Sublingual B12 Herbal Lozenges
Brand: Nature's Plus · Form: LOZENGE [E0174]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product provides a specific form of vitamin B12, but the data we have is limited to a single ingredient. For general health, calcium is essential for bone health, but the specific benefits of this lozenge for B12 deficiency are not fully detailed in the provided data [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and messenger — it supports bone mineralization and helps your muscles relax and nerves signal properly [NIH ODS]. The sublingual form of B12 in this lozenge is designed to be absorbed directly under your tongue, which may help if you have trouble absorbing B12 from food.
Safety profile
Data not available for this specific product. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements, but no specific report count is provided for this lozenge [FDA data]. For calcium, high intakes can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available to determine if this lozenge is effective for your needs. We cannot recommend this product based on the provided data. If you are considering it for a B12 deficiency, consult your doctor first. For calcium, stick to dietary sources and do not exceed the RDA without medical supervision [NIH ODS].
