Why doesn’t Methyl B12 with L-Methylfolate contain B12 as cyanocobalamin, when other companies’ B12 products do?Updated 5 months ago

All of our products containing vitamin B12 use only the coenzyme forms, adenosylcobalamin or methylcobalamin and/or hydroxocobalamin.

 Cyanocobalamin is not an active form of B12. This form of B12 is the least expensive for companies to manufacture, so it is in many of the “bargain” brands on the market. This form is B12 attached to a cyanide molecule. It is not as well absorbed as the other popular forms of B12 supplements, and the process it goes through within the body also requires detoxifying and excreting the potentially harmful cyanide molecule.  Complications can arise if too much cyanide accumulates in the body from high doses of this form taken over long periods of time.†
