Which form of vitamin B12 is best?
There are different forms of B12. B12 is also known as cobalamin.
The shapes are:
Adenosylcobalamin, Methylcobalamin, Cyanocobalamin and Hydroxocobalamin
Methylcobalamin and Adenosylcobalamin are active biological forms of B12 and act directly in the body. Only these two forms are suitable as melting tablets.
Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form that is also widely used in nutritional supplements, but this form is not native to the body. The downside is that it is less effective. The cobalamin is linked to cyanide and this must first be uncoupled. Cyanide has no further function in the body and must be excreted again. A form that we do not recommend using.
Then there is Hydroxocobalamin . This form cannot be absorbed through a tablet and is therefore used in injections.
