- AOR Methyl B12 5 mg(Formerly Methylcobalamin 5 mg), 60 Lozenges
Product Description
There are several forms of vitamin B12. Cyanocobalamin is the most common supplement form of B12. Once absorbed, it is converted into hydroxocobalamin, then adenosylcobalamin (the body’s storage form of B12 and one of its active coenzyme forms), and then possibly methylcobalamin (the other active coenzyme form of B12). While an adequate intake of methylcobalamin ensures adequate levels of adenosylcobalamin, an adequate intake of other forms of B12 does not ensure adequate levels of methylcobalamin, the form of B12 shown to support the brain and nervous system. The recommended daily intake for vitamin B12 is a mere 2.4 micrograms, although supplementation with much greater amounts can be beneficial even if a deficiency does not exist.
High doses of methylcobalamin have been shown to protect the nervous system from toxins, help heal nerve cells and provide nutritional support in neurodegenerative conditions. In humans, supplementation with high doses of methylcobalamin has been shown to provide neurological support in people with degenerative nerve conditions such as Bell’s palsy, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease and degenerative spinal conditions.
