Who Is It For
Sona Vitamin B12 500mcg is suitable for adults looking for a convenient way to supplement their dietary intake of vitamin B12.
It may be particularly relevant for people following diets that contain limited amounts of naturally occurring vitamin B12, including some vegan diets.
Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, making these appropriate authorised benefits to consider when choosing a B12 supplement.
A food supplement should not be used to self-treat a suspected vitamin B12 deficiency. If you think you may be deficient, particularly if you have persistent fatigue, neurological symptoms or have previously been diagnosed with low B12, speak to your doctor or pharmacist.
Key Benefits
Vitamin B12 contributes to:
- Normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Normal functioning of the nervous system

Vitamin B12 also has a role in the process of cell division.
These are authorised EU health claims for vitamin B12 and are preferable to broader claims such as "boosts energy" or "improves memory", which I would not use on the Lir Pharmacy page.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Vitamin B12 is naturally found mainly in foods of animal origin, although fortified foods can also contribute to dietary intake.
If you follow a vegan or highly restricted diet, ensuring an adequate and reliable source of vitamin B12 is particularly important.
Persistent tiredness does not necessarily mean you have low vitamin B12. Fatigue has many potential causes, and persistent or unexplained symptoms should be discussed with your doctor.
Vitamin B12 deficiency should be appropriately assessed because treatment requirements can vary according to the cause and severity of the deficiency. Do not use a food supplement as a substitute for prescribed B12 treatment without discussing this with your healthcare professional.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Not Suitable For
Do not take if you are allergic or sensitive to any of the ingredients.
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking a food supplement if:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are taking medication
- You have a medical condition
- You have been diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency
- You are receiving prescribed vitamin B12 treatment
- You have persistent unexplained tiredness or neurological symptoms

FAQs
What is Sona Vitamin B12 500mcg used for?
Sona Vitamin B12 is a food supplement providing 500mcg of vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin per tablet. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal nervous system and psychological function, normal red blood cell formation and normal immune system function. It also contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue. These are authorised EU health claims for vitamin B12.
How much vitamin B12 is in each Sona tablet?
Each Sona Vitamin B12 tablet provides 500mcg of vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin. This is substantially above the EU adult Nutrient Reference Value of 2.5mcg for vitamin B12. Only one tablet per day is recommended, so there is no need to take additional tablets unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
Does vitamin B12 help with tiredness and fatigue?
Yes. "Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue" is an authorised EU health claim. Vitamin B12 also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. However, persistent or unexplained fatigue can have many causes and should not automatically be assumed to result from low vitamin B12. Speak to your doctor if tiredness is persistent, severe or unexplained.
Does vitamin B12 give you energy?
The compliant way to describe the benefit is that vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It should not be presented as a stimulant or as providing an immediate "energy boost". These authorised claims accurately describe vitamin B12's nutritional role.
What is methylcobalamin?
Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12. Sona uses methylcobalamin to provide 500mcg of vitamin B12 in each tablet. Regardless of the form used, the relevant authorised health claims relate to vitamin B12 itself, including contributions to normal nervous system function, normal red blood cell formation and normal energy-yielding metabolism.
How do I take Sona Vitamin B12 500mcg?
Sona recommends taking one tablet daily with your main meal, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. With one tablet taken each day, a pack of 60 tablets provides a 60-day supply. Food supplements should be used alongside, rather than as a substitute for, a varied and balanced diet.
Is Sona Vitamin B12 suitable for vegans?
Yes. Sona states that these Vitamin B12 500mcg tablets are vegan suitable. Vitamin B12 deserves particular consideration in vegan diets because naturally occurring dietary B12 is found predominantly in animal-derived foods, although some foods are fortified with B12. People following a vegan diet should ensure they have a reliable dietary or supplemental source of vitamin B12.
Is Sona Vitamin B12 gluten free?
Yes. According to Sona, the product is free from gluten and wheat. It is also free from dairy, egg, lactose, soy and yeast and contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Anyone with an allergy or intolerance should nevertheless check the current packaging before taking the product, as formulations and manufacturing information can change.
Does vitamin B12 support the nervous system?
Yes. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. This is an authorised EU health claim. Vitamin B12 also contributes to normal psychological function. These claims are more appropriate than suggesting that a B12 supplement improves memory, concentration or cognitive performance, for which we should not make unsupported claims on the product page.
Does vitamin B12 support the immune system?
Yes. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal function of the immune system. This is one of the authorised EU health claims for vitamin B12. It is important to retain the wording "normal function" rather than describing vitamin B12 as "boosting" immunity, as the authorised claim relates specifically to supporting normal immune system function.
Can I take Sona Vitamin B12 if I have a B12 deficiency?
A diagnosed vitamin B12 deficiency should be managed according to advice from your doctor or other healthcare professional. The appropriate treatment can depend on why your B12 is low and may involve different doses or prescribed treatment. Sona Vitamin B12 is a food supplement and should not be used to replace treatment that has been prescribed for a diagnosed deficiency without professional advice.
Can I take Sona Vitamin B12 every day?
Yes, when used according to Sona's directions. The recommended dose is one tablet daily with the main meal. Each tablet provides 500mcg of vitamin B12, so you should not take more than the recommended amount unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you have been advised to take vitamin B12 for a diagnosed deficiency, follow the dosage and monitoring instructions given by your healthcare professional.
How long does a pack of Sona Vitamin B12 500mcg last?
The bottle contains 60 tablets and Sona recommends taking one tablet per day. Therefore, one pack provides approximately 60 days' supply when used according to the manufacturer's directions. This makes it a convenient two-month supply for people who have chosen to include supplemental vitamin B12 in their daily nutritional routine.
