Differnt B12s?

[durak]

Can anyone provide some insight into B12 Methylcobalamin and B12 Cyanacobalamin.

[Mr.Rose]

They are virtually the same component and have the same effect to the body, the only difference being that in methylcobalamin the cyanide group is replaced by a methyl group. Cyanacobalamin is easier to produce and thus cheaper and more widespread, but methylcobalamin is more readily stored by the body for prolonged periods of time. Also methycolvalamin, i think, is the active cofactor of B12, and if i recall the body can remove the cyanide group from cyanacobalamin and convert it. I may be mistaken but.

Regardless, they can both be utilized as co-enzymes and other various functions.

However, i would wait for phate, swifto or MuscleScience to confirm.
