Q: Why is Methylcobalamin better than Cyanocobalamin? A:
Most of the vitamin B12 found in supplements are in the form of cyanocobalamin (cyano B12). But studies suggest that a coenzyme form of B12, called methylcobalamin (methyl B12), may be better utilized and retained in the body.
Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12 and evidence indicates it has some applications not shared by other forms of vitamin B12.
With cyanocobalamin, your body must convert it into a coenzyme form for you to benefit from it. Not so with Methylcobalamin... it's already in the active coenzyme form naturally in your body.
Not only does cyanocobalamin require a higher dosage for the same effectiveness, in Japan and Great Britain, cyanocobalamin has been removed from the market while methylcobalamin is available.
Cyanocobalamin is considered by many to be the worst choice of the 3 cobalamins used as dietary supplements: hydroxycobalamin B12, cyanocobalamin B12, and methylcobalamin B12.
Q: Why is potassium sorbate used in the Vitamin B12? A: Liquid products require a preservative to ensure safety by preventing the growth of bacteria/mold/yeast. Potassium sorbate is the salt of sorbic acid (natural fatty acid) naturally found in blueberries and other plants. The amount of potassium sorbate in the daily dose of the B12 spray is minimal due to the very small dose volume of sprays (780ul) versus other beverage or shot formulations. We can assure you that potassium sorbate is considered safe by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Q: Why does the B12 spray not have intrinsic factor? A: Intrinsic factor is only used in various B12 supplement tablets to try to better the absorption rate through the stomach lining. Our B12 product does not need to contain this due to the sublingual distribution.
Q: What is the vegetable glycerin (palm) used for? A: As an all natural palm derived absorption enhancer, sweetener, and preservative.
Q: What is the Quillaja saponaria extract and what is it used for? A: As an all natural and organic absorption enhancer. Published research shows that Quillaja saponaria is hypocholesterolemic, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, antiviral, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, and non-toxic in acute/chronic animal studies
