If you have a low level of vitamin B12, supplementation is essential. Learn how
you can supplement this vitamin for best results.
Due to its red color vitamin B12, it's also known as the red
vitamin because of cobalt in it.
Types of B12
There are three types of vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, and methylcobalamin.
Due to
the potential absorption problems,
it can be advisable to inject B12 rather than taking it orally. This guarantees that it gets into your blood stream.
Like all injections, they can have unwanted side effects. Ask your doctor for
more details.
The other advantage is that injection solutions cost often less than oral applicable alternatives. The latter can be wasted
money in case the vitamin is not resorbed (see
Vitamin B12 Malabsorption).
Methylcobalamin
Newer research could prove that methylcobalamin passes the blood-brain barrier
best, i.e. this type gets easier into you nervous system.
That's why methylcobalamin should be favored. Unfortunately, it is still difficult to find in many
countries.
It has to be applied sublingual.
Thus, it will be absorbed from
the oral mucosa. As injection solution, it's too instable and unavailable.
Consult your doctor for specific recommendations in your case.
Because of the general importance of vitamins, I recommend all my clients to take care of
a good vitamin supply and in doing so take into account that vitamins
are only a part of diet and that...

Vitamins are
NO substitute but
only a completion of dietetic treatment.
