superman1234 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Is there really any difference between the two? I've been taking a B-12 supplement for years (sublingual, Cyanocobalamin) but now I hear that it's much better to get your Vitamin B-12 from Methylcobalamin. Anyone know the facts?

Fallen_Horse Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Methyl doesn't have to be converted in the body before being used, but it also goes 'bad' quicker in the bottle. Also there isn't a great body of evidence showing methyl is useful for anyone but those that specifically have B12 digestion issues (pernicious anemia)....

superman1234 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks, FallenI think I am going to switch to methyl since it's easier to digest and doesn't have any cyanide in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReneeMBM Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Another option is hydroxocobalamin injections, from a doctor or DIY. It's just a pin-prick, no need to find veins or anything. You can get the tiny needles + hydroxo at most pharmacies over-the-counter. Then there's no question about will I/won't I absorb B-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
