Is the B12 in this vitamin from cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin or methylcobalamin? I've read the last one is the best one for absorption.

I'm not certain. All I know is what is either written here on Amazon in the product description or on New Chapter's website here: http://www.newchapter.com/multi-vitamins/perfect-prenatal#product-information If you don't find the answer, I would contact New Chapter directly. Best of luck!

The bottle does not specify, but one review states that it called the company and questioned someone on each ingredient. They claim cyanocobalamin.

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 depends on what you buy. They have it in different amounts. If you get the 1000 mcg one and take one or two tablets a week you should get plenty of B12.

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.

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).

According to the ingredients, no. It is, along with Methycobolamin, used by people who's bodies don't absorb B12 (a mutated Heterozygous gene test will tell you.)

Nothing but Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin, which is a certain type of B12 , more easily assimilated into the body, and not synthetic). Hope that helps.

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

Methylcobalamin is equivalent physiologically to vitamin B12, and can be used to prevent or treat pathology arising from a lack of vitamin B12 (vitamin B12 deficiency), such as pernicious anemia.Methylcobalamin is also used in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and as a preliminary treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

It contains cyanocobalamin. After researching this form of B12, I switched to Natural Factors Vitamin B12 because it contains methylcobalamin.

The ingredients are in fact Methylcobalamin & Cyanocobalamin as that is our latest formula. Unfortunately the most recent orders were sent with the old label. Thanks. SprayVit Customercare

No, on the bottle it is labeled as Vitamin B-12 2,500 mcg (as cyanocobalamin)

B-12 comes in two forms when entering the buddy as a supplement. Methylcobalamin is the active form of B-12, cynocobalamin is the inactive form. The difference? Cynocobalamin has to go through the liver before it can be used as B-12 in the human body. So u don't get the effect of B-12 as quick as you would if you took methylcobalamin. I take both forms everyday. I take cynocobalamin in the morning, and methylcobalamin 1-3x per day after food.

I was suprised too. I have an old bottle that actually used to have B121 listed. Then one day it wasn't on the label. I now used a vegan multivitamin powder that absorbed easier and goes well intomy shakes.

no if you're looking for a real good quality Iron supplement that does contain Folic Acid B12 in addition to Iron I would recommend this one Zahlers Iron Complex, Complete Blood Building Iron Supplement with Ferrochel, Easy on the Stomach Iron Pills with Vitamin C, Optimal Absorption, #1 Top Quality All Natural Iron Vitamin, Kosher Certified, 100 Capsules this is a top notch supplement that has really helped me with my Iron levels. I definitely recommend you look into it.

The product isn't certified by the vegan society, however I have yet to find a b12 supplement that's endorsed specifically. The ingredients besides obviously Methylcobalamin are purified water, vegetable glycerin, and potassium sorbate. As a long time vegan I trust this product :)

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!
