Introduction

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods. Vitamin B12 exists in several forms and acts on the mineral, Cobalt. Hence, those compounds with Vitamin B12 activity are called ‘cobalamins’ and the active forms are Methylcobalamin and 5 Deoxyadenosylcobalamin

Vitami B12 is required for proper red blood cell formation, various neurological functions, as well as DNA synthesis. Vitamin B12 functions as a cofactor for methionine synthase and L-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase.

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate is the biologically active form of vitamin B9. In concert with vitamin B12, 5-MTHF functions as a methyl-group donor involved in the conversion of the amino acid homocysteine to methionine.* Methyl-group donation is vital to many biochemical conversion processes, including the synthesis of serotonin, melatonin, and DNA.

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble substance necessary for the smooth working of several of the body’s physiological functions. Though it is most popularly known for its important role in bone heath, research has now revealed its relevance in overall health, prevention and cure of various ailments.

Why Vegan Vitamin B12+D3

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia that makes people tired and weak.

• Vitamin B12 is found in various animal products such as fish, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products.
• Vitamin B12 is generally not present in plant foods. Some nutritional yeast products contain B12.
• In food sources, Vitamin B12 is usually found as cyanocobalamin, a form that the body needs to confirm into the active forms of methylcobalamin and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin.

Cynocobalamin VS Methylcobalamin

Simply put, Cynocobalamin is the inactive form of Vitamin B12 where as Methylcobalamin is the active form of Vitamin B12. Cynocobalamin is found in various food sources, but once consumed the body needs to convert it to Methylcobalamin.

Methylcobalamin has a methyl group (just carbon and hydrogen) while cyanocobalamin contains a cyanide molecule. Although the amount of cyanide in is too small to be harmful, your body will still need to remove and eliminate this compound. As it has no use for the cyano-compound itself, it will set about converting any cyanocobalamin you take into methylcobalamin as soon as possible – it’s the methyl-compound that the human body needs to function properly.
