Spectrum Sciences Patent-Pending Transdermal Microemulsion Technology

The scientific literature shows that B12 replacement therapy by intramuscular injection improves cognitive decline and fatigue symptoms in deficient patients, particularly when initiated early.

Despite the fact that clinical trials from which this data comes from rely on B12 injections specifically, many people still erroneously take that to mean a B12 deficiency can be fixed easily through B12 pills.

If oral B12 supplements could correct a long-standing B12 deficiency, this wouldn't be a worldwide problem.  The average US diet provides a daily intake of between 3.66 - 5.84 micrograms of vitamin B12, which is well above the 2.4 micrograms recommended by the NIH.

Clearly, there is a bigger problem than what a poorly-absorbed capsule or even a carnivorous diet can solve.

The reason injections are much more effective than capsules, in addition to the massive dose they supply, is due to the fact that oral administration of vitamin B12 is poorly absorbed.

We wish it were as simple as taking a daily capsule of vitamin B12 to replete the brain of this vital nutrient, but unfortunately, that is not the case.  Most of the vitamin B12 contained in capsules simply ends up in the toilet.

Vitamin B12 absorption in the GI tract is facilitated by a protein known as intrinsic factor, which acts as a shuttle from the gut to systemic circulation.  It has been shown that intrinsic factor is saturated around 10 micrograms, meaning oral absorption is limited to about 10 micrograms per feeding.  This falls far short of the dosages used in any of the replacement therapy protocols used by these teams of researchers.

In addition to the absorption problem, scientists also believe that there is significant benefit to sustained release of vitamin B12 into systemic circulation, which maintains elevated blood levels and optimizes intracellular absorption.

This is a big reason why most doctors who prescribe vitamin B12 replacement therapy for their patients initially prescribe smaller injection doses (~100 micrograms) on a daily basis for the first 1-2 weeks, followed by a gradual taper to monthly injections.

Continuing with daily injections would provide a greater benefit, but this comes at the risk of poor patient compliance.  The compromise is that doctors start their patient on a frequent injection regiment and then switch to less frequent injections so they continue to retain some of the benefits by not stopping treatment altogether.

But what if a person could enjoy the convenience of a daily, at-home supplement, and the power of a daily high-dose injection?

That is why we have developed patent-pending transdermal microemulsion technology, vastly improving vitamin B12 absorption compared to oral capsules and powders, allowing for an at-home option that provides doses used in a clinical setting.

This method also provides the benefits of slow release into systemic circulation, mimicking the results of daily injections without the hassle of prescriptions, needles, and insurance claim denials.

Activated B12 Oil readily penetrates through the deepest layers of the skin, delivering both active forms of Vitamin B12 into the blood stream.  Oral B12 supplements cannot compare.  This efficient and convenient delivery system helps to ensure compliance, consistency, and efficacy, encouraging a long-term commitment to better health.

How It Works

Studies show that microemulsions are a safe and effective way to deliver substances across the skin into systemic circulation.  The microemulsion particle must be small enough to diffuse into the upper layers of the skin and efficiently fill hair follicle canals, releasing their contents into circulation.  Smaller microemulsion particles result in more effective and deeper skin permeation due to their increased surface area to volume ratio, giving them the ability to bypass the skin barrier.  This makes topical application of the microemulsion a superior method for transdermal delivery.

Our team has meticulously developed and tested various formulations and proportions, crafting the most efficient microstructure, allowing these particles containing vitamin B12 to permeate the skin.

We are on a mission to improve health, so all ingredients we use are recognized as safe for sustained contact with the skin and are quickly metabolized and cleared by the body.

Spectrum Sciences Activated B12 Oil is a topical serum supplying the critical nutrient, Vitamin B12 in its two active forms, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin is needed to support the methylation cycle, while adenosylcobalamin is needed by the mitochondria for energy production.  Inclusion of the two active forms explains why our formula is a potent weapon against both age-related cognitive decline and fatigue.

Sustained systemic delivery mimics the pattern of daily injections without the hassles and costs associated with doctor's visits, needles, pharmacies and insurance companies.

That means you get not only a higher blood level of B12 but also a steadier blood level of B12 with transdermal application when compared to oral capsules.
