Methylcobalamin is the neurologically active coenzyme form of vitamin B12 which supports the healthy structure and functioning of the brain and nervous system. It is also the most bio-available and best utilised form of the vitamin.

B12 is necessary for the formation and regeneration of red blood cells which help keep the blood healthy, promote growth, optimise energy and maintain a healthy nervous system.

Vitamin B12 comes in several kinds including hydroxy-, cyano-, and adenosyl-, but only the methyl form is used in the central nervous system. Deficiency states are fairly common and vitamin B12 deficiency mimics many other disease states of a neurological or psychological kind, and it causes anemia. Cyanocobalamin (the kind in vitamin supplements) is converted by the liver into methylcobalamin but not in therapeutically significant amounts.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is caused by a wide range of factors including low gastric acidity (common in older people,) use of acid blockers such as Prilosec™ or excessive laxative use, lack of intrinsic factor, poor aborption from the intestines, lack of Calcium, heavy metal toxicity, or excessive Vitamin B12 degradation.
