If you’re going to use Vitamin B12 as a supplement, either to enhance your overall health and energy levels, or because it has been determined that you’re lacking B12, you have to take a stance on which form you’re going to use:
For me, this means either the borderline “poisonous” variety of B12, known as cyanocobalamin, made in part from cyanide (a toxic poison that I have FELT my liver detoxing from after using), OR, you can choose the methylcobalamin (“methyl” B12 for short) and derive the much more biologically-friendly results via sublingual absorption direct into the blood stream.
There are times when the intuition and inner guidance simply must come into play. Sure I research like mad, and read the studies as often as I possibly can.
But my “gut” tells me that if I have the option between using a product built in part by a known toxin, as compared to one that is not, I don’t really need any studies to convince me of what I should or should not be using to enhance my health.
WHY take something that my body HAS to process in part as a TOXIN…IF I DON’T HAVE TO?
It just ain’t rocket science to me.
There is no question that far too many people can benefit from B12 supplementation. It has the ability to dramatically increase people’s energy levels, adding to their sense of well-being and as a water-soluble vitamin, carries little to no risk of overdose (I’ve never seen any cases of actual reported claims of overdose).
Like so many things, the methyl variety may cost more at times. But the option is easy: the expense of your body, or the expense of your wallet.
I choose the latter in every incidence……………………….Love, Happiness, Health and Peace…………Tim
