Vitamin B12 - the quality is crucial
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) was only discovered in 1948. It is a very complex, large molecule and is required for the development of all cells in the body. Nerve cells in particular suffer from a deficiency. The best-selling B12 is the artificial cyanocobalamin. Although this is effective, it is not optimal as it first has to be converted for absorption, releasing the not entirely uncritical cyanogen compound (better known as hydrocyanic acid). Methylcobalamin is the form required by the body and is much better absorbed without conversion. There is another form of vitamin B12 that is even better than the already very good form methylcobalamin: adenosylcobalamin! Folic acid has been added for even more vigour.
Not all folic acid is the same.
Folic acid, or more precisely folate, is available in its best form, methyltetrahydrofolate. The body needs it in this form. If you ingest simple folic acid, the body must first convert it into 5MTHF. Around 50 % of people are unable to do this due to a metabolic disorder, so it would be completely pointless for them to take simple, cheap folic acid. Such preparations would therefore have no protective function, e.g. against spina bifida in unborn children. With 5MHTF you play it safe, i.e. you are guaranteed to take the right form, even if you have not been tested for this metabolic disorder.
