I find it odd it doesn't specify whether the B12 is methylcobalamin or cyanocobalamin. Even odder, searching online doesn't reveal the answer?

Wow. All I cared about was how big they are & if I could get them down my gullet. I admire your quest for details. Good luck!

MegaFood delivers nutrients in their FoodState form. This is a comprehensive whole food matrix of nutrition that is more complex than a single, isolated form, and offers the benefits of the phytonutrients and other components naturally found in the whole food. For this reason, MegaFood does not list a specific nutrient form, as the nutrition is being delivered in a more complex fashion, closest to how you'd receive it in healthful whole foods.

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!

One thing to watch for--does a product have something you can't have? I was going to switch to another product, but it has folic acid and cyanocobalamin in it. I can't have those forms, so thank heavens I didn't go full bore on Ultima or one of the others containing these versions of B vitamins.

I'm just a consumer like you, but the product says it's "formulated with methylcobalamin," whatever that means. My nutritionist told me to take this form of B12, and that's why I've taken it for a few years now.

Methylcobalamin contains NO CYANIDE! And it is NOT mixed with this or any other vitamin. Period.

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.

B-12 and B06 and folate - that is what the label says. I don't know much past that, but I would suggest that you go to Megafood's website to see the details. I love this B-12, btw.

vitamin B12 is an organic compound that contains cobalt. You should Google the term to find out more details. A simple blood test ordered by your doctor can tell you if you are deficient and need to take additional B12. Vegans frequently do not receive enough B12 in their diets and must add B12.

The bottle ingredients does not say what form of B12 is in this product. So sorry

I have never taken the B17 tablets, just eaten the apricot seeds. Only difference might be in price and that the seeds are a raw unprocessed form of the B17.

Hi, This Vit. B complex lists each B Vitamin that's on the bottle along with amt per serving and % of daily value, however the contents of the capsules are a RAW Organc Fruit and Vegetable Blend. There is no mention of on the label, of B12 being in the form of cyanocobalamin. So that's all I can tell you. What should I know about this compound or substance?

Contains: Cobalamin 1000mcg-this is not the more absorbable Methylcobalamin which is active coenzyme form of B-12. Other ingredients: Mannitol-insignificant amount of sugar alcohol, Vegetable magnesium stearate, Vegetable stearic acid, Vegetable cellulose, Natural cherry flavor w/other natural flavors. When I need the detailed ingredients or doses, I go straight to Vitacost.com and see if they have it and if they carry it, you can get the detailed information under that item. I normally order the Methylcobalamin B-12 so I made a mistake in ordering these and never got around to returning it. I think when I did the review on this item, I reviewed it thinking it was the Methylcobalamin. Good luck!

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.)

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.

Here is what it says on the bottle. (25 mg S. cerevisiae). 125 mcg. 2083% DV. Hope that helps, does not say anything else on what form of B12.

It is from folic acid. The B6 is from pyridoxine HCl and the B12 is from methylcobalamin.
