That’s why our Vitamin B12 spray contains Methylcobalamin, the superior form of B12, over Cyanocobalamin. The table below provides some key points of this difference.

Methylcobalamin

Methylcobalamin is the specific form of B12 needed for nervous system health. Compared with cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin is better absorbed and retained in higher amounts within your tissues. This form of B12 is used primarily in your liver, brain and nervous system. Indications of a potential deficiency of B12 in the nervous system might include numbness, tingling, loss of feeling sensation, burning sensations, muscle cramps, nerve pain and slowness of reflexes.

Cyanocobalamin

Cyanocobalamin is the most commonly supplemented form of vitamin B12. but this form does not actually occur in plants or animal tissues. The chemically synthesized cyanocobalamin, as the name implies, contains a cyanide molecule. Although the amount of cyanide ( a poisonous substance) in a B12 supplement is small, your body will still need to remove and eliminate this compound.

Here's why Methylcobalamin shines:

Active and Ready to Use: Methylcobalamin is the active and bioavailable form of Vitamin B12, meaning your body can readily utilize it without the need for additional conversion. This ensures rapid absorption and maximum benefits.

Nourishing Nerve Health: Methylcobalamin is renowned for its crucial role in nerve tissue metabolism, making it an essential nutrient for maintaining healthy nerve function and supporting brain health.

Enhanced Cognitive Support: Studies have shown that Methylcobalamin may help prevent cognitive decline and support mental sharpness, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to maintain cognitive vitality.

Natural and Methyl-Donating: Methylcobalamin naturally donates a methyl group, which plays a vital role in various biological processes. This unique property sets it apart from Cyanocobalamin, which lacks this beneficial attribute.

The key point to consider

The metabolism of vitamin B12 in the form of cyanocobalaminis complex since cyanocobalamin can be difficult to absorb, especially for people with low levels of hydrochloric acid in their stomachs. Taking the active form – methylcobalamin, sublingually bypasses this problem and may provide the best results for many people.
