B-12

Types of vitamin b-12


Do be aware that the Vitamin B12 form Methylcobalamin is the active form and therefore does not need to be converted by the body.

Cyanocobalamin form has to be converted to Methylcobalamin. NB: Not everybody is able be able to convert it.

Just because you take a tablet supplement of B12 or eat meat, does not mean that your body is able to absorb it. Vitamin B12 is the largest vitamin known, in terms of it's molecular size.

The folowing was taken from:

There are five known types of vitamin B12.

1. cyanocobalamin

2. methylcobalamin

3. adenosylcobalamin

4. hydroxycobalamin

5. glutathionylcobalamin

Cyanocobalamin is the form of vitamin B12 that you will find in most supplements. It is cheaper than the other forms and most people tolerate it well. However, because it contains cyanide, it might be toxic when used in high doses.

Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin and are the active forms of the vitamin found in nature. [18] You can purchase methylcobalamin fairly readily. Thorne Research makes it. Unlike cyanocobalamin, the methylcobalamin does not require intrinsic factor for absorption. [20] So when taken orally, the methylcobalamin has a better chance of being absorbed. Methylcobalamin can be found in the cerebrospinal fluid. It supports the healthy structure and functioning of the brain and nervous system. It is the form often recommended for those who have been mercury poisoned.

Adenosylcobalamin is also easily purchased, but it is often not found under that name. Adenosylcobalamin is also called coenzyme B12, cobamamide, cobinamide, or dibencozide. Ecological Formulas makes a separate supplement of it. DEWS includes this form of B12 in with their coenzyme B complex product too. The body readily stores adenosylcobalamin in the liver and mitochondria

The hydroxycobalamin can be found a www.Perque.com or it can be ordered through a compounding pharmacy. The body will convert it into the active methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Large doses of hydroxycobalamin have proved useful in the treatment of both fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. The reason might be due in part to B12's ability to mop up excess nitric oxide. Dr. Martin L. Pall hypothesizes that elevated nitric oxide and peroxynitrite may be the common etiology of posttraumatic stress disorder, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and multiple chemical sensitivity. Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) or any traumatic stress can set in motion a vicious cycle that perpetuates the elevated levels of the nitric oxide and peroxynitrite in the body.

I'm still looking for info on glutathionylcobalamin as it was noton the above site...

@VonLeachim cool, thanks a lot. I'll do that :)

[CinnamonGirl2010]

This is true. That's why I always do my own research before taking their advice. She didn't give me all of the information, as I knew she wouldn't. B-12 is important though but an injection is not the only way.
