Frequently Asked Questions
60 or 180 capsules?
At one a day, 60 lasts two months and 180 lasts six. At two a day, halve those.
Does the form matter more than the brand?
Once you are taking methylcobalamin at the right amount, B12 products are fairly interchangeable. Capsule or liquid mostly comes down to how you prefer to take it.
Why is the color red?
Pure notes methylcobalamin has a naturally occurring red color that does not result from the use of artificial dyes or colors.
