Overview: B12-Methylcobalamin (Jarrow) Each bottle, 100 lozenges. Each lozenge, 1,000 mcg of this superior form of vitamin B12 and studies do appear to support the notion that this is the best form. It has been studied in diabetic neuropathy and shown to produce modest improvements. It may also help the body's production of its own melatonin and has been suggested to be a potentially useful therapy in alleviating Seasonal Affective Disorder. It also acts as a methyldonor, particularly for turning homocysteine into methionine, which may be helpful in reducing cardiovascular disease. If it donates methyl groups to NfKB it may also have some effect on inhibiting HIV production in infected cells. A combination of this form of B12 with SAMe and folic acid may provide a more effective punch according to one hypothesis (Med Hypotheses, 1993 Feb;40(2):93-94). Suggested use is 1 lozenge two to three times a day.

Suggested Usage: Dissolve under tongue or chew one 1000 mcg lozenge every 2 or 3 days (or one 5000 mcg lozenge every 3 or 4 days) with a meal, or as directed by your qualified health consultant. Vegetarians typically require B12 supplementation.

Methylcobalamin (Methyl B-12) is better absorbed and retained than other forms of B12 (such as cyanocobalamin.) Methyl B12 protects nerve tissue and brain cells and promotes healthy sleep. Methyl B12 is a cofactor of methionine sythase, which reduces toxic homocysteine to the essential amino acid methionine. Methylcobalamin also protects eye function against toxicity caused by excess glutamate.
