Check your B12 label. If you are using Cyanocobalamin it's generally considered the least absorbed form of vitamin B12. This is because it’s a synthetic form that requires conversion in the body to active forms like methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin before it can be utilized.
There’s not just one type of vitamin B12—
Your body uses 3 different kinds 👋
Each one helps with a different job. 🧰Think of them like different tools in a toolbox.
🔧 Hydroxo B12 (Hydroxocobalamin)
Acts as a storage form of B12. It binds well to carrier proteins in the blood, keeping B12 levels stable longer. Your body converts it to methyl- or adenosylcobalamin—only as needed.*
Ideal for those with sensitive methylation (MTHFR, COMT, etc.).*
⚡️Methyl B12 (Methylcobalamin)
This is the active methyl-donating form. It supports the MTR enzyme, which remethylates homocysteine into methionine—vital for methylation, mood, neurotransmitters, and detox.*
Too much too fast? Some may feel overstimulated.
🔋Adenosyl B12 (Adenosylcobalamin)
The mitochondrial form of B12.This one powers your cells—especially your mitochondria (the energy factories inside your cells). It helps you make energy and keeps your brain and nerves healthy.* (Methyl-free)
Low adenosyl? Think fatigue, poor coordination, and mitochondrial stress.
🫵 Your takeaway
Each B12 form plays a different biochemical role.
❗Try out and pay attention to which form benefits you most!
