The role played by vitamin B12 should not be understated and it is important to know the common causes of deficiency and be able to accurately decided whether to supplement your B12 intake and which type of B12 to use.<\/p>\n<p>Cyanocobalamin contains cyanide, which requires the body to detoxify, a process which uses B12, making cyanocobalamin the least beneficial of the common types of Vitamin B12.<\/p>\n<p>Methylcobalamin does not contain cyanide, making it more available than cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin may have an analgesic effect.<\/p>\n<p>Hydroxocobalamin is another form of B12 which is preferable over methylcobalamin for people who deal with over-methylation.<br \/>\nThe body converts it easily into methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin and is an effective antidote to cyanide poisoning.<\/p>\n<p>Hydroxy-B12 and adenosylborabalamines are most abundantly found in foods. Hydroxy-B12 maintains the highest level of B12 blood concentration.<\/p>\n<p>Adenosylcobalamin is cobalamin with 5-deoxyadenosine molecule attached. Like methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalymin does not require the body to convert it before use, but unlike methycobalamine, it does not provide methyl groups to the body. Adenosylcobalamin may regenerate myelin sheaths.<\/p>\n<p>Supplementation of B12 should not be taken lightly and finding the right combination of forms is important for one&#8217;s health and fitness.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-section\">\n<p id=\"tweet\"><i>The many faces of B12 vitamin, which one is right for you?<\/i> #HealthStatus<\/p>\n<p class=\"twitter-follow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/@glwHealthStatus\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Follow HealthStatus<\/a><br \/>\nTweet Now<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"keys\">\n<h2>Key Points:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span>1<\/span>Cyanocobalamin is a very common inexpensive form of B12 but it contains cyanide, a strong toxin.
