Is Methylcobalamin B12 and methylcobalamin the same element or are they different element the body needs

They're the same thing. And don't use cyanocobalamin, since that's cyanide, and altho it's in small doses, it's still toxic, whereas the methyl variety isn't. Sad, but so many supplements which include B12 use the cyano variety. Avoid these.

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

70% Cyanocobalamin, 15% Methylcobalamin, 15% Dibencozide according to the label.

Hi, Yes, the Vitamin Code B-12 does have methylcobalamin in it. Thank you :-)

Michelle Holley gets A+ for her answer...100% correct! Methylcobalamin B12and is deemed to be the preferred kind. The other two forms are Cyanocobalamin (Yep, Cyanide is used in the processing and is considered the WORST form) and Hydroxocobalamin. Please Google my suggestionsfor yourself, and draw your own conclusions. Happy Valentines Day!

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

Yes Pure Encapsulations B12 5000 is 5,000 mcg per 1 dropper full and the one labeled just B12 is 1000 mcg per dropper full.

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.

3mcg per capsule, 2 caps is one serving. This is the best form of b12, methylcobalamin thankfully, not cyanocobalamin.

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.

B12 (Methycobalamin) Other ingredients: Lactose (from milk), cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate (vegetable grade).

this is in correction to my first answer. I thought we were talking about vitamin B but this is Magnesium we're speaking about. They are LARGE WHITE TABLETS!

I do not have my bottle of B12 with me at the moment to list ingredients, but perhaps you can contact a natural pharmacy and they will read the ingredients to you. My doctor (holistic) put me on this brand because of its lack of common allergens. Hope this helps.

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

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.

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

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

Both Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin are laboratory created versions whereas plain Cobalamin is a natural food extraction. If you really want products that work ALWAYS choose natural food sources rather than lab created "vitamins".
