BMG Pharmacy stocks vitamin B12, B complex and single B vitamins in the UAE:

• Vitamin B12: NOW B-12 1000mcg lozenges, Puritan's Pride Vitamin B-12 500mcg tablets, Webber Naturals Vitamin B12 250mcg, and Webber Naturals B6 and B12 with folic acid.

• Single B vitamins: Puritan's Pride Vitamin B-2 100mg and B-6 50mg, Webber Naturals Vitamin B6, and folic acid from NOW, PHL and Puritan's Pride.

The first choice is B12 on its own or a B complex. B12 alone suits people who only want that vitamin; a B complex puts the B vitamins together in one tablet. Then pick the format: lozenges dissolve in the mouth, which some people prefer to swallowing a tablet, and gummies suit people who dislike pills. Compare the micrograms (mcg) of B12 on each label, as strengths here run from 250mcg to 1000mcg. Order online for delivery in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
