| Methylcobalamin Liquid provides 1000 mcg of highly bioavailable vitamin B 12 in a tasty convenient liquid. Vitamin B 12 is essential for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fat and protein. As a cofactor for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase enzymes, vitamin B I 2 helps convert odd chain fatty acids and branched chain amino acids into succinyl-CoA, a common citric acid cycle intermediate. Vitamin B I 2 is also required for nucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, methionine synthesis from cysteine, and normal myelin synthesis in the nervous system. Along with vitamin B6 and folic acid, adequate levels of vitamin B 12 are required to maintain normal plasma homocysteine levels. Certain populations, including the elderly, those with HIV/AIDS, and strict vegetarians are often at risk for vitamin B 12 deficiency, either due to low dietary intake or impaired absorption. Most of the vitamin B I 2 found in supplements is in the form of cyanocobalamin. While cyanocobalamin is an excellent source of vitamin B12, studies indicate that methylcobalamin, a coenzyme form of B 12, may be better utilized and better retained in the body. Other studies indicate that methylcobalamin itself may play important roles in supporting neurological and immune health. Indications: o Pregnancy o Vegetarians o Manage homocysteine levels |
