Many elderly adults may be unable to effectively absorb the Vitamin B12 found in foods. This is because the stomach's production of acid tends to decrease as we get older. It is this stomach acid that is necessary to break Vitamin B12 away from the proteins in food. This process must happen first before Vitamin B12 can bind with what is called intrinsic factor in our small intestines before then being absorbed.

Vitamin B12 is highly beneficial in various forms but DEVA Fast Dissolve B-12 contains only one form: Methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin, the coenzyme form of vitamin B12 is a body-friendly version and can be used in its normal form.
