05Questions

Frequently asked questions about MT01

Why 1,000 µg of vitamin B12?

Taken by mouth, vitamin B12 is only partly absorbed beyond a few micrograms. Methylcobalamin supplements are therefore dosed high: one capsule provides 1,000 µg.

Why methylcobalamin?

Methylcobalamin is one of the forms of vitamin B12 found in the body. We chose it for this formula, and it is written out in full on the label.

Can I take it with my metformin?

Yes, with the same meal if that suits you. No time gap needed between the two.

Should I have my vitamin B12 tested?

That is your doctor’s decision. Show them the composition at your next appointment: they will tell you whether a test makes sense in your situation.

What if I take a fixed-dose combination?

Tablets that combine metformin with a gliptin, a gliflozin or a sulfonylurea fall within the same scope. The formula stays the same.
