A closer look at how B-12 deficiency impacts your life
Feeling Off Lately? It Might Not Be “Just Aging”
If you’ve been feeling more tired, forgetful or even moodier than usual, you’re not alone—and it’s not just because you’re getting older. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns healthcare providers to watch their patients for signs of a vitamin B12 deficiency,1 especially for adults over 50.
Vitamin B12 plays a big role in keeping your body and brain healthy. It helps create red blood cells, supports your nervous system and fuels your energy. When your body doesn’t get or absorb enough B12, it can lead to problems that affect how you feel every single day.
Common Causes of B12 Deficiency
- Not getting enough B12 in your food, such as with a vegan diet
- Poor stomach absorption
- Digestive challenges like gastritis
- Digestive diseases such as Crohn’s or anemia
- A history of alcohol-related issues
Unfortunately, many people don’t realize they have a deficiency until symptoms become harder to ignore.
Warning Signs of B12 Deficiency You Shouldn’t Overlook
- Chronic fatigue
- Brain fog or confusion
- Fainting, lightheadedness or dizziness
- Heart palpitations
- Vision problems
- Mood changes like anxiety or depression
- Memory loss
If you experience three or more symptoms, we strongly encourage you to consider B12 supplementation as part of your wellness plan.
Why It Gets Harder After 50
As we age, our ability to absorb B12 naturally from food becomes less efficient. That means your body might not get what it needs even if you eat a healthy diet. That’s why supplementing with a high-quality, easily absorbable B12 formula becomes essential for adults over 50.
B vitamins are water soluble, which means they dissolve in water and are not stored in the body. Because they’re used up daily and flushed out through urine, a steady supply is necessary to keep vital systems running smoothly. Without daily replenishment, key functions like energy production, brain function, mood regulation, red blood cell formation and nerve health can begin to break down.
TriVita’s B-12: More Than Just a Supplement
TriVita’s original patented Slow Dissolve B-12 and Super B-12 are not your average vitamin supplements. These slow-dissolve tablets melt under your tongue for quick, effective absorption. That means you are bypassing your digestive tract, so your body can use it immediately, helping you get the energy, clarity and vitality you need.
Did you know that some of the smallest vitamins can have the biggest impact on your health? Vitamins B6, B9 and B12 may be tiny, but they are powerful allies—especially as we age. These vitamins support your energy, help your brain stay sharp and even help your body manage inflammation.
At TriVita, we understand how important these vitamins are—especially after age 50. That’s why TriVita offers two powerful sublingual B-12 formulas designed to dissolve under your tongue for fast, effective absorption.
This is our original patented, slow-dissolve formula developed by nutritional pioneer Alfred Libby. It includes vitamins B6, B9 (folate) and B12 to support your brain, heart and energy systems. It’s a trusted choice for steady, daily support.
Need more of a boost? TriVita’s Super B-12 delivers 3,000 mcg of B12, plus vitamins B6, B9 (folate) and energy-boosting ginseng root. It’s perfect for people who want extra stamina, sharper mental focus and a little more get-up-and-go throughout the day.
TriVita’s Super B-12 delivers up to 3 times more nutrients than the average B12 supplement. That’s real support your body can feel.
What You Can Expect to Improve
- Energy and stamina
- Brain function and memory
- Nerve health and circulation
- Mood stability and emotional wellness
The “Little Pink Pill” That’s Changing Lives
Developed by nutritional pioneer Alfred Libby, the Original patented B-12 and Super B-12 tablets are great tasting, easy to take and highly effective. Just place one under your tongue, let it dissolve and experience the benefits.
