Description:
Methylcobalamin
is a form of vitamin B-12. There are other forms of vitamin
B-12 as well, however only methylcobalamin can be utilized
in the central nervous system. Cyanocobalamin is the most
common form of vitamin B-12 and is the form used in most
vitamin supplements. The reason for cyanocobalamin's presence
in multivitamin supplements is its superb long term stability
and its relatively low cost. Cyanocobalamin is converted
to methylcobalamin in the liver, but not in amounts that
are considered therapeutically significant. For this reason,
many physicians are using very high doses of methylcobalamin.
Usually it is given subcutaneously, though some physicians
are trying other administration avenues.
Methylcobalamin
is also the form of B-12 which is most active and extremely
important in folate chemistry and methylation processes
in the body.

Methylcobalamin Concentrated Powder is a good tasting, quick
dissolving powder which can be dissolved under the tongue

with a small scoop for easy measuring.
