BetterYou Boost B12 Oral Spray is a dietary supplement composed for people who want to easily and quickly supply three ingredients with preventive action against the development of cardiovascular and hematopoietic diseases. The preparation includes vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), chromium and green tea extract, which is a natural antioxidant and it prolongs the durability of the preparation. The supplement has a pleasant apricot aroma, thanks to which its supply will leave a pleasant aftertaste.
The preparation consists of:
Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) – a substance with a wide use by the cells of the body. It participates in the biosynthesis of genetic material, which is of particular importance in the normal development of the nervous system, as well as in the maturation of red blood cells. The deficiency of Vitamin B12 is manifested by anemia (anemia), which more often affects people who are on a vegan diet. This is due to the fact that meat products are the primary source of this Vitamin.
Applying the components of the preparation directly to the mucosa allows them to enter the bloodstream, which may be crucial in case of cobalamin, which is not always well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The use of a highly bioavailable methylated form further increases the effectiveness of supplementation.
Chromium is a micronutrient that is particularly readily used by people struggling with fluctuations in blood glucose. The proper concentration of chromium ensures the normal insulin sensitivity of tissues and thus glycemia.
Green Tea Extract is a rich repository of many biologically active ingredients, coming directly from nature. The most important of them, catechins and methylxanthines, support the maintenance of normal body weight, thereby reducing cardiovascular risk.
Cardiovascular health
Nowadays, most people lead a fairly intense lifestyle, which provides scarcely little time to properly rest, properly selected physical activity, or a balanced diet. Especially the latter is the main factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, the most popular of which is peripheral artery disease. Unfortunately, it is so treacherous that it does not give any symptoms for long, whereas its development in the final stage leads to the occurrence of, e.g., myocardial infarction or even worse, stroke.
The above-described disease progresses in response to chronic lipid and immune disorders within the vessels. The last reports also mention another important factor – homocysteine, which forms as a result of an incomplete completion of the methionine and cysteine transformation cycle. This is due to the shortage of one or several vitamins – B6, B12 or folic acid. It has been shown that taking the appropriate dose of methylcobalamin allows the reduction of the level of this harmful amino acid, contributing to slowing down of the process of atherosclerosis.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is the cause of anemia
The most popular blood disorder in the population seems to be anemia. It is considered by many people with iron deficiency, but the process of maturation of a red blood cell is a bit more complicated and involves many regulatory compounds.
One of them is vitamin B12, which participates in the synthesis of purines, and then the genetic material in the initial stages of erythropoiesis. Deficiency of the Vitamin results in the abolition of the whole process and directing the emerging cells to the programmed death path. Another way involves the development of abnormally large red blood cells that do not perform their function as effectively as normocytes.
This condition is manifested with e.g., increased fatigue, pale skin, or even an acceleration of heart rate. Vegans should particularly remember about Vitamin B12 supplementation due to the fact that they do not eat meat, being the only biological source of this Vitamin.
Maintenance of normal blood sugar levels
Dynamically developing lipid disorders and atherosclerosis usually begin with problems with the level of sugar in the blood. Excessive body weight is one of the predispositions due to the increasing volume of hormonally active adipose tissue. The substances secreted by it gradually endure the sensitivity of tissues to secreted insulin, inhibiting the passage of glucose from the blood into the cells.
It has been observed that regular chromium supply stimulates cells to express glucose transporters on adipocytes and myocytes membranes. This results in breaking down insulin resistance, whereas excess sugar penetrates into the tissues, and can again serve as a source of metabolic energy.
Weight control
As mentioned above, excessive weight gain, and thus fat tissue, contributes to problems with the metabolism of sugars and lipids. It seems logical that weight reduction will help to reduce health problems. However, this is a tedious process that can become slightly less intrusive with adequate supplementation support.
The green tea extract contains a repository of biologically active ingredients. Epicatechins, theobromine and theophylline are particularly important. They have been shown to increase the rate of metabolic changes and to contribute to the activation of enzymes responsible for burning body fat. Normalization of body mass leads to increased insulin sensitivity in tissues and improvement of lipid parameters.
In conclusion, BetterYou Boost B12 Oral Spray is a convenient three-component formula that is designed to provide comprehensive cardiovascular health support. The preparation is especially recommended for people who are on a vegan diet, who are not able to provide the right dose of cobalamin along with the diet.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin, cyanocobalamin) is a vitamin soluble in liquids. Participates in the production of red blood cells and is essential in the absorption of iron by the body. It calming effect, a positive effect on concentration and memory. Intensifies its action in cooperation with folic acid (vitamin M). Usually occurs in animal products, fish and dairy products. It contains trace elements.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to pernicious anaemia, general and immunity weakness, inhibiting of growth and damage to the myelin sheath of nerves.
What is methylcobalamin?
Methylcobalamin is a biologically active form of vitamin B12. It is one of the two forms of this vitamin that may be used as cofactors in various reactions. It differs from popular cyanocobalamin in the presence of methyl group instead of cyanide, thanks to which it releases the organism from the need of neutralizing this harmful factor.
The methyl group from methylcobalamin may be transferred to homocysteine, thanks to which it comes back in the form of methionine in order to be further converted to SAMe, which is the main donor of methyl groups in our organism. These methyl groups may be then used in the processes of creatine production, in neurotransmitter metabolism and as DNA methylation, thanks to which we achieve proper energy level, better well-being and generally better condition of the organism. B12 is a coenzyme for three enzymes: isomerase, methyltransferase and dehalogenase.
Apart from the influence on the nervous system, the supply of vitamin B12 is also very important for the proper synthesis of red cells as well as hemoglobin and anemia prevention.
Methylcobalamin in mono-supplements and complex vitamin preparations may be found in the offer of muscle-zone.pl.
Chromium (chemical element from transition group of the chromium, chemically active) is actively involved in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It comes in the easily assimilable organic form and inorganic. Along with insulin, as a component of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), is used in insulin-dependent diabetes treatment, insulin involved in the metabolism of glucose in t proteins transport. Activator of enzymes involved in the metabolism of fats and cholesterol. Available in animal origin products (liver, veal, chicken, turkey meat, oysters) and plant-origin (bananas, broccoli, cereal, wheat germ, spinach). Supplements containing chromium are recommended for fat loss (also thermogenic), and improving the functioning of the body. The sports supplementation used chromium in the form of mono-preparations or in the form of vitamin-mineral minerals supplements.
Chromium deficiency results in impaired glucose, reducing the insulin sensitivity. It causes a decrease in immunity and endurance of the body. It may be a cause of coronary heart disease. Sometimes it causes neurological disorders.
Dosage: A varied diet prevents from the deficiency of chromium in the body.
Dosage: The recommended dose of 50-150 mg per day.
Chlorine (chemical element from the group of halogens) - in the natural form of gas it is poisonous and water-soluble (until recently used as a disinfectant in the water supply system, now replaced by fluorination). It is chemically active element. It is used in the form of sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium (KCl). It participates in the process of digestion and maintains acid-base balance in the body, removes toxic products of metabolism in the liver (antitoxin). Natural source of chlorine for the body is salt and bladderwrack.
Chlorine deficiency can occur due to excessive sweating, vomiting, causing digestive tract problems. It also causes loss of hair and teeth.
Excess chlorine, for example. Drink excessive amounts of chlorinated water, destroys bacterial flora and vitamin E.
Dosage: Daily dose should not exceed 15 grams.
Green tea extract is a concentrate that contains biologically active compounds: polyphenols (e.g. catechin, in the form of EGCG - epigallocatechin gallate), having antioxidant properties and a small thermogenic potential, modifies the action of testosterone metabolites, DTH. Green tea extract is an ingredient of many sports supplements containing fat burners, having pro-health and vitaminizing effect; also for those with low physical activity as an antioxidant and slimming supplement. Available either as mono-preparations, ready drinks, and above all as an extract.
Dosage: 200-500 mg per day (depending of the content of other active bio-components).
