Vitals Vitamin B12 Methyl 1000 mcg

Vitamin B12 1000 mcg from Vitals consists of lozenges with the biologically active form methylcobalamin. This is one of the forms of vitamin B12 as it occurs in food and is used by the body. Many other vitamin B12 products use cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form that does not occur in nature. The advantage of a supplement in the biologically active form is that vitamin B12 is immediately available for the body and does not need to be converted.

Functions of vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin is needed for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF, the biologically active form of folate) to convert homocysteine into methionine (vitamin B6 is also involved in this process). A high level of homocysteine is undesirable.

Sometimes, vitamin B12 is not well absorbed by certain individuals. In such situations, supplementation with a high-dose B12 supplement (1000-2000 mcg) can be beneficial.
