Why doesn't it state if this is B12 from cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin?
207811
I was informed by a nutritionist that the front of the bottle would specifically say methylcobalamin.
207812
I have read the label and there is nothing about the source of this B12. Only that it is Gluten, wheat and dairy free. All other information is about how B12 works with you body to support metabolism and increase the amount of oxygen in red blood cells.

Do not purchase these, as I now realize that they do contain cobalamin, they fool you by taking off The front part, cyanoco. Makes me angry. So, I no longer trust Solgar. I was taking a liquid, sublingual. I am returning to that. It is absorbed thought the body better, and NO CYANOCO.

at is a question you need to ask the product manager, or the manufacturer. As a buyer - I don't know. And it doesn't bother me - those pills are great.My B12 is now way over the top normal value, and I only used a small amount of the pills.

I am sorry I gave these a high rating. DO NOT TAKE THESE. Go to this site http://www.roylretreat.com/articles/b12.html. These have cyanoco.

I was informed by a nutritionist if it does not say methylcobalamin on the front of the bottle then it is cyanocobalamin. I hope this helps.

When a manufacturer lists simply "cobalamin," it can be assumed that it is the less expensive form; cyanocobalamin. Solgar also makes a methylcobalamin for those who would rather use that. Methyl costs more, so Solgar is trying to offer people options. On Amazon, you can get 250 of the 1000mcg cyano for $20...or, you can get only 60 of the 1,000mcg methyl for $10. So, basically, you can get about four times as much product for only twice the money.

methylcobalamin is the only ingredient. methy B-12 is the coenzyme form of B-12. it rids the body of the toxin homocysteine.

Hi Frances...I don't know the answer, sorry, but it was recommended by my vascular surgeon. I understand that the other kind of B-12 (cyancobalin) is only partially converted to methylcobalamin by the body. The label skirts the issue. It says it is manufactured in a facility that meets FDA rerquirements, but then says the food and drug administration has not commented on the validity of the statements made on the label.Hope someone else can answer your question more definitively

Methyl b12 is naturally very red; these tiny sublingual tablets have no flavoring that I would associate with artificial red color/flavor additives. They are very very bland in the mouth.

3mcg per capsule, 2 caps is one serving. This is the best form of b12, methylcobalamin thankfully, not cyanocobalamin.

I read carefully all ingredients and didn't find cyanocobalamin nowhere on the labels.

I have not been able to find the answer to this question in my searches, but in related searches, I would guess that it is Methylcobalomin since this is the natural form of B12. Mega Food takes it's vitamins directly from organic food, so I would think they would use the most natural forms of B12.

This product is made with Methylcobalamin B12, what ever that is. I like this B12 supplement because it tastes good and dissolves under the tongue for full absorption. I first bought it at my local health food store, but now buy it on Amazon.

My Vitamin B12 was purchased through Nutri Snacks, so I would send Amazon an email that this is not the product you want and you want to return it. They will send you via e-mail a free postqage sticker for your return. Then ask them if they can give you the B12 I received from Nutri Snacks and they should get it for you if they still carry it.....Good Luck !

That I can't answer for sure because I am not a doctor. My doctor recommend this for me and this bottle it says on it highly blovailable Methylocobalamin form. Quick desolve. I have just been on this pill a few days. Best to take this by your doctors office and ask them. I feel my energy level is better already but I am not you. Check with your doctor.

As seen on the cover of the box, each packet contains 2000mcg of B12, listed "as cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin co-enzyme form, and dibencozide co-enzyme form)".

Hi, This Vit. B complex lists each B Vitamin that's on the bottle along with amt per serving and % of daily value, however the contents of the capsules are a RAW Organc Fruit and Vegetable Blend. There is no mention of on the label, of B12 being in the form of cyanocobalamin. So that's all I can tell you. What should I know about this compound or substance?

There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin. If you eat meat, you don't need a B12 supplement. If you are vegan, you also probably may not need to take a supplement but it is still suggested. The adequate dose is 5 micrograms/day. Most available supplements are anywhere from 500 - 5,000 mcg. Take the 500 mcg. once a week. The high concentrations are meant to correct actual diagnosed B12 deficiencies in people who may not be able to absorb it normally, but for most of us, these excessive amounts appear to be safe and nontoxic. Sublingual is the suggested form. There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin.

This is a highly absorbable form of B-12. I had tested low in B-12 previously... tried other formulation/dosage but the levels didn't improve much. After taking MethylCobalamin 1MG daily, after a few months, now test in the normal reference range.
