What form is the B-12 in? If it's cyanocobalamin, then it's synthetic and made from cyanide. If it's methylcobalamin, then it's in the active form.

Even Shaklee's B-Complex, which is very highly regarded, is cyano., and priced at about $48.00 here on Amazon. What ya gonna do?

Good question, thank you for bringing this to my attention. Since it does not specify, concerned it may be cyanocobalamin, which contains cyanide, and if a person is at all compromised, would be taxing to the system, not to mention could build up in the system. A good question for the manufacturer of Solgar.

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.

Since I did not design the label, (I was a buyer) I do not know. However, The Supplement Facts section on the bottle lists the following: Vitamin B12...1,000 mcg, stevia....0.5 mg. Other ingredients: purified water, natural glycerin, sodium benzoate, citric acid. Manufactured in Canada

Life is the source of B12. There is such a thing as microscopic life, as IMPOSSIBLE AS THAT MAY SEEM!

Bob, I can only speak to this B-Complex from Nature Made which I have always used as a matter of fact. The new one bought from Amazon only difference is my previous said Energy Production with Antioxidant Support whereas this one said Cellular Energy and Production

Hi Debbie..These are sublingual tablets that you hold under your tongue, and let them melt in your mouth. They're about the size of an M&M;, and are cherry flavored. They are better than other b-12 meds, which the body has to turn into methylcobalamin. And if you swallow one accidently, it shouldn't be a problem. I've done it a couple of time. I'd reciommend this one to you without hesitation

There are two forms of B-12. Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. Most people can convert Cyanocobalamin to the usable form of B-12 Methylcobalamin, but unfortunately this is not true for everyone. I have used both; injections of Cyanocobalamin and sublingual Methylcobalamin. I do not take regular B-12 tablets as they are not digested well and I was not seeing any change in my condition when using them. The sublingual Methylcobalamin seems to work faster than the injections but I have to take several tablets daily whereas I do one shot every five to seven days. I had to quit the shots for awhile due to nerve damage so the Methylcobalamin was an effective substitution. I think you will find it more beneficial than regular B-12 tablets. Hope this helps!

This is what my bottle says: B-12 (hydroxocobalamin) 2,000 mcg; mannitol 295 mg; sucanat (organic whole cane juice) 1 mg; magnesium (as C16 and C18 alkyls) 3.5 mg; 100% whole cherry fruit extract 2.5 mg. Hope this helps!

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

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).

inferior yeast. The B-12 SHOULD be in the form of methylcobalamin. Disappointed in megafoods, it's my favorite supplement brand.

Greetings....their B-12 is a result of cultivating certain raw elements and is unlike anything on the market. If you go to www.rawvitamins.com you can get a comprehensive answer. Also, their Vitamin D3 I take also because it is a result of using cultivated raw vegetables (mushrooms, I believe0 and it the best product on the market. That, too, is explained at the above website. Enjoy!! Fred

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