On the label it says fortified with additional B vitamins. I was wondering if the B-12 is Vitamin B-12 as Methylcobalamin?

I'm afraid I can't help answer your question. I only bought this product once and wasn't real happy with it. I prefer the nutritional yeast flakes to the powdery consistency that this product came in, so I threw away the container many months ago. I now buy my nutritional yeast at my local co-op. Sorry I couldn't help...

I'm not seeing that wording. If you go back to Amazon's website, they do show the back label, you can click on it and check for yourself, to make sure I'm not missing it?

That's a good question and also one that makes this product's claims hard to believe. I think commercially B12 only comes from a process of industrial bacterial biosynthesis which I don't think can be 100% natural. Wonder if this still means this product is vegan or natural as they claim.This is exactly the point of my review I wrote for this supplement a few weeks ago.

There are both forms of active B12 - as methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. We have improved the label so it is more clear. The bottle used to state methylcobalamin and coenzyme B12 (which is another name for adenosylcobalamin).

Well, vegan is generally associated with excluding things (animal-derived ingredients) and not so much with including things. Also, I'm guessing you didn't find the full list of supplement facts included under the pull-tab. There is indeed B-12 in this supplement. Here's how I see it listed: Vitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin), 100 mcg (Amount Per Serving), 1667% (%Daily Value)

I'm sorry, I used it all and I don't have the package. I'd not heard of the form of B12 you were asking about and looked it up. The new one I'm using, the kirkland brand from Costco is that. I realized what to look for thanks to you and now more informed. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Sorry,the bottle doesn't specify what type B12. If you need the methylated kind, as I do, you may want to take it separately. I take a chewable form of the methylated B12. Hope this helps.

It isn't listed on the bottle. My kiddo, contrary to the previous response, likes these vitamins. To each their own :)

Hi Maria, Yes the wording is correct 1mg. If you check other B12 products they are noted in mcg, not mg, so you will see values like 800mcg, 500mcg etc, in that case you have to note this product is 1000 mcg. There are products showing 5000mcg, which is 5mg however if they are not MethylCobalamine then your body will not absorb them so they are basically pointless. B12 is not like vitamin C, or D its only required in low quantities. I hope this helps clarify

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylcobalamin This explains things, they are the same thing.

I see the problem that there are two labels that people are answering in regards to. The original included both forms of folic acid. I see on the updated label there are still other synthetic forms of some of the other B-vitamins. (so I am passing on this product).

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

I buy and take daily a sublinqual liquid B-Complex with Vitamin B-12 ($6) at Wal-Mart and that product also gives me a little extra boost plus I take a multivitamin with folate in it just to be safe. I have been taking all this since April. I am up to 600 mg. SAM-e every day and it is still working well for me. Good luck!

I'm not sure (I had never heard of that before!) but I do not think cyanocobalamin is used. I did a quick Google search and found someone else on Amazon saying this. "but [I] couldn't find that their B12 is in the cyanocobalamin form anywhere on the label, so I called them. They confirmed that they use cobalamin not cyanocobalamin in this vitamin. Hope this clears up any misconceptions."That was here. http://www.amazon.com/review/R2K0RNZVS6DV29/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00280M12A&linkCode;=&nodeID;=&tag;=#wasThisHelpfulI hope that helps.
