Vitamin B12 – quality is crucial
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) was not discovered until 1948. It is a very complex, large molecule and is required for the development of all the body's cells. Nerve cells in particular suffer from a deficiency. The best-selling B12 is the synthetic cyanocobalamin. Although it is effective, it is not optimal because it must first be converted for absorption. In the process the not entirely trivial cyanide compound (better known as hydrocyanic acid) is released. Methylcobalamin is the form required by the body and is absorbed significantly better without conversion. There is another form of vitamin B12 that is even slightly better than the already very good methylcobalamin: adenosylcobalamin! For an additional boost, folic acid has been added.
Folic acid is not the same as folic acid.
Folic acid, or more precisely folate, is present in its best form as methyltetrahydrofolate. This is the form the body needs. If you take simple folic acid, the body must first convert it into 5MTHF. About 50% of people cannot do this due to a metabolic disorder; for these people it would be completely pointless to take simple, cheap folic acid. Consequently, such preparations would also have no protective effect, e.g. against spina bifida in the unborn child. With 5MHTF you play it safe, i.e. even without testing whether you have this metabolic disorder, you are guaranteed to take the correct form.

This is very difficult because such companies are extremely rare among the mass of dietary supplement manufacturers now on the market. But we have once again managed to find one with Vitals from the Netherlands!
