Introduction
FORTIUS D3+B12 is a nutritional supplement with vitamins D3 and B12. These are vitamins of great importance for the proper functioning of the body, but their lack or insufficiency often occurs for many reasons.
FORTIUS D3+B12 is in the form of dispersible tablets. Absorption is sublingual from the oral mucosa bypassing the digestive tract.[1,2] For this reason, it is readily absorbed and acts faster. Moreover, it has easy intake (spread in the mouth) and pleasant taste.
The form of vitamin D used in FORTIUS D3+B12 is D3 (cholecalciferol) as it has much better absorption by the body compared to D2.[3] For the same reason, methylcobalamin has been used as the best source of absorption of B12.

Vitamin D, through its receptors, interacts with more than 2000 genes in the human body which in turn encode proteins that play an important role in regulating, differentiating and propagating cells.
Cholicalciferol (D3) is the natural form and increases the levels of total vitamin D more effectively.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin D3 contributes to
- normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus resulting in strong bones, muscles and teeth
- reduce inflammation
- setting and strengthening the immune system
- maintaining muscle strength
- controlling blood sugar
