Vitamin B12 price per mcg — cheapest first

Vitamin B12 is declared as cobalamin equivalent in mcg regardless of form — methyl, cyano, adenosyl or hydroxo. This page reads that declared figure directly in mcg, so products of different forms compare on one axis.

Price per mcg ranges from a low of $0.000017/mcg to a median of $0.0183/mcg. The median is 1,101× the lowest, so the cost of the same 1mcg of Vitamin B12 spreads over a thousandfold across products. That means the per-unit gap between products near the top and the middle of the ranking is that large.

Price per mcg is computed for 2,937 of the 3,143 listed (93%). The rest, missing a sale price or amount, are placed at the bottom of the ranking and excluded from the statistics above.

The Vitamin B12 amount per serving ranges from 0.08mcg to 10,000mcg, with a median of 30mcg. The maximum is 333× the median, so high-dose singles and blends listing a small Vitamin B12 amount sit in the same table.

The products in this list come from 459 brands, and the sort order is determined solely by price per mcg.

Products classified by label form notation number 2,657 (85% of the total), and the most frequently noted form is Methylcobalamin with 1,603. Products with no form notation, or whose notation does not match the classification rules, do not appear on the per-form pages, so the per-form product counts sum to less than the total product count above.

Format differences such as sublingual tablets, liquids and sprays do not appear in the declared amount, so they are not reflected in this comparison. The table also puts the small amounts declared in B-complex and multivitamin products next to standalone products in the 1,000mcg range.
