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
