Product Information

Optimum support - Methylated forms of B vitamins have been shown to be better absorbed and used by the body Conversely, another study comparing the two forms reported that about three times as much cyanocobalamin was excreted through urine, indicating that methylcobalamin may be retained better within your body ( 6). Additionally, several animal studies have found that each form could have neuroprotective effects and may be beneficial in treating conditions that affect your nervous system ( 16, 17). SUMMARY Methylation requires a specific B vitamin to be present in the body – 5-MTHF (also known as methylfolate). In fact, one study found that treating seven B12-deficient people with oral methylcobalamin normalized vitamin B12 levels in their blood within just 2 months ( 13).

When cyanocobalamin enters your body, it’s converted into either methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin, which are the two active forms of vitamin B12 in humans ( 1). For example, proton pump inhibitors, which are medications that lower stomach acid, can decrease the absorption of B12, whereas metformin, a popular diabetes drug, can decrease levels of both B12 and folate ( 24, 25). Beat stress and tiredness, increase energy levels, ensure normal homocysteine metabolism and optimal methylation, folate and transsulfuration cycles with Methyl B Complex!

The body’s ability to release B12 from food so that it can be absorbed depends on adequate amounts of stomach acid. Another major difference between methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin is the way they’re absorbed and retained within your body. What’s more, people who have undergone certain weight loss surgeries are also more likely to be deficient in B vitamins ( 22).

Advanced – Provides the metabolically active forms of B vitamins including folate as methylfolate, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin and vitamin B6 as P-5-P

In fact, one study found that people’s bodies absorbed about 49% of a 1-mcg dose of cyanocobalamin, compared to 44% of the same dose of methylcobalamin ( 5). One study found that supplementing with a vitamin containing B12, B6, and folic acid led to a more enhanced and lasting antidepressant response over 1 year, compared with a placebo ( 30). Unlike cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 that can be obtained through supplements, as well as food sources like fish, meat, eggs, and milk ( 3, 4). SUMMARY Additionally, high doses of B6 can cause nerve damage, light sensitivity, and painful skin lesions ( 35).While another essential nutrient, choline, was formerly considered to be a B-complex vitamin and shares some similarities with them, it is in fact neither a vitamin nor a mineral. Summary

B7 (biotin). Biotin is essential for carbohydrate and fat metabolism and regulates gene expression. Yeast, eggs, salmon, cheese, and liver are among the best food sources of biotin ( 6).Although these vitamins share some characteristics, they all have unique functions and are needed in different amounts.
