Vitamin B12 Deficiency in India — Symptoms, Causes and How to Fix It

A full day's B12 in one strawberry-flavoured tablet — for the nutrient vegetarian diets miss most.
Vitakyn Vitamin B12 is a strawberry-flavoured vegetarian tablet supplying 2.2 mcg of vitamin B12 — 100% of the ICMR-NIN 2020 adult RDA. Vitamin B12 is needed to make red blood cells, maintain the protective sheath around nerves and support energy metabolism, and because it occurs naturally almost only in animal foods, vegetarians and vegans are the group most likely to run short. It is a sugar-free daily maintenance dose, not a therapeutic dose, manufactured under WHO-GMP and FSSAI standards in Ahmedabad, pack of 60.
Transcribed from the printed label so you can verify it against the pack. Approximate values per 1 tablet.

Use as a dietary supplement, 1 tablet daily or as directed by the dietician.
Nutraceutical — dietary supplementary food, not for medicinal use. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. This is a maintenance dose: a confirmed B12 deficiency (low serum B12, anaemia or neurological symptoms) needs therapeutic dosing prescribed by a doctor.
B12 is required to maintain myelin, the sheath that insulates nerve fibres; the tingling and numbness of deficiency reflect this role.
Adequate B12 supports normal cognitive function and mood; low levels are associated with fatigue, poor concentration and low mood.
B12 works with folate to make red blood cells; deficiency causes a form of anaemia whose first symptom is usually tiredness.
2.2 mcg is the full adult daily allowance — enough to maintain status in people eating little or no animal food, without the megadoses used to treat established deficiency.
A nutraceutical supports normal health; it does not treat disease. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any supplement.
Vitakyn Vitamin B12 is manufactured for Medkyn Lifecare Pvt. Ltd., a pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturer in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015 and FSSAI standards. Every batch is tested against its specification and released with a Certificate of Analysis.
2.2 micrograms (mcg), which is 100% of the adult Recommended Dietary Allowance in the ICMR-NIN 2020 guidelines. It is a daily maintenance amount rather than the high doses used to treat diagnosed deficiency.
For maintaining normal status in a healthy adult, yes — it is the full Indian RDA. People with a confirmed deficiency, pernicious anaemia, or absorption problems need much higher, doctor-prescribed doses, because only a small fraction of oral B12 is absorbed when stores are depleted.
Yes. The tablet is 100% vegetarian and carries the green mark, which makes it a practical daily B12 source for vegetarians and vegans, who cannot get B12 from plant foods.
Persistent tiredness, pale skin, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, poor memory or concentration, low mood and a sore tongue are common signs. They develop slowly. A blood test confirms the diagnosis; our article on B12 deficiency in India explains the causes and treatment in detail.
