B12 absorption depends on intrinsic factor, a protein made in the stomach, and that pathway becomes less reliable with age, with low stomach acid, and with long-term use of acid-reducing medication. A liquid taken sublingually or in water gives some of the dose a route that bypasses the stomach entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ConcenTrace base is what distinguishes this from a generic B12 liquid. It contributes 50mg of the ionic mineral complex harvested from the Great Salt Lake, including 3mg of magnesium. It is not a meaningful magnesium dose — it is there as the carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegan and gluten free, with no artificial colours. One millilitre is about 20 drops, taken straight or in water or juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrace Minerals has been harvesting ConcenTrace from Utah's Great Salt Lake since 1972. The lake water is solar-concentrated and the sodium removed, leaving a complex of ionic trace minerals that shows up as the base of most of the brand's range.
