Vitamin B12

What we use: Methylcobalamin¹⁷

What it does:

  • Protects the coating on your nerves (like plastic around electrical wires)¹⁷
  • Makes red blood cells¹⁷
  • Builds DNA¹⁷
  • Keeps your brain working properly¹⁷

When you don't get enough:

  • Deep tiredness that's different from just being sleepy¹⁷
  • Hands and feet go numb or tingly¹⁷
  • Memory gets worse¹⁷
  • Hard time walking straight¹⁷
  • Can cause permanent nerve damage if it goes on too long¹⁷

Why we pay more for this form: Most use cyanocobalamin because it's cheap and lasts forever on the shelf. But it's fake B12 that your body has to convert to the real thing.¹⁷ Our methylcobalamin is already in the active form and stays in your body longer. More expensive, but no conversion needed.¹⁷
