Methylcobalamin is the coenzyme form of Vitamin B-12, and is the biologically active type of B-12 found in the human body. According to the Mayo Clinic, “…people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet might be prone to deficiency because plant foods don’t contain vitamin B-12. Older adults and people with digestive tract conditions that affect absorption of nutrients also are susceptible to vitamin B-12 deficiency. Left untreated, a vitamin B-12 deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, intestinal problems, poor nerve repair and mood disturbances.” The absorption of B-12 requires a protein, secreted by cells in the stomach, called intrinsic factor. Elderly people secrete less intrinsic factor and therefore absorb less vitamin B-12. Methylcobalamin B-12 helps provide significant amounts of B-12 in its more active form.†

Benefits:
Methylcobalamin is more bioactive than cyanocobalamin, which must convert in the liver to the active coenzyme form Methylcobalamin before it can function in the body.†
Methylcobalamin aids in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, supporting healthy blood homocysteine levels.†
Ideal source for vegan/vegetarians who are at greater risk for vitamin B-12 deficiency.†
Methylcobalamin helps donate a methyl group to form SAMe (s-adenosylmethionine) which helps support healthy brain function and liver detoxification.†
Methylcobalamin is essential for the production of normal, healthy myelin; protects the nervous system and supports its function.†
Vitamin B-12 supports healthy red blood cell production, essential for oxygen transport throughout the body.†
Vitamin B-12 deficiency generally increases with age because of decreased levels of intrinsic factor a protein normally produced by the stomach and which aids in B12 absorption.†
