    Today we're going to talk about a type of vitamin B12 I would avoid: cyanocobalamin.
    Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic version of vitamin B12. It's a very cheap version, and it's hiding in many fortified grain foods, synthetic vitamins, energy drinks, B12 injections, and even infant formulas. It's also typically present in very high doses in these products.
    The problem is that there is a cyanide molecule attached to the cobalamin. Cyanide shuts down the oxygen to your mitochondria.
    Potential side effects of cyanocobalamin:
    • Vomiting
    • Stomach problems
    • Low potassium
    • Headaches
    • Fever
    • Dizziness
    It's true that the liver can detoxify small amounts of cyanide. But what if someone consumes large amounts of products containing this synthetic B12?
    Some people also have problems with their detoxification genes that could cause them to have trouble getting rid of cyanide. Another common genetic problem with methylation can cause the effects of synthetic vitamin B12 to be worse.
    The best form of vitamin B12 is the natural version called methylcobalamin. This version is the active form of vitamin B12 and stays in the body longer than the synthetic versions.
    Potential benefits of methylcobalamin:
    • It may help improve sleep
    • It can decrease the need for sleep
    • It can help you wake up feeling alert and refreshed
    • It can help you fall asleep faster
    • It's great for the nervous system (especially the myelin sheath)
    • It supports healthy eyes
    • It increases melatonin
    • It decreases homocysteine
    • It can help regulate cortisol
    • It supports the red blood cells
    Causes of vitamin B12 deficiency:
    • Not consuming foods high in vitamin B12
    • Stomach inflammation
    • H. pylori
    • Low stomach acid
    • Gastric bypass
    • Inflammation in the intestines

For me those are also gone with LowCarb/Keto and intermittent fasting. When I do have a night of lots of carbohydrates (e.g. at a party) I immediately notice the next day how stiff everything is again. I do have psoriasis, so it might be less noticable if you are otherwise healthy.

    if I told anyone about Methyleneblue they would ask when I started drugs.
    jokes aside, B12 and other vitamins helped pull me out of a depression, and I mean bad depression. I had GALLONS of urine in jugs, never left my room, wanted to die, and felt like I was going to die anyway.
    I'm still recovering but I finally had the energy to clean my room. I have carpet again. I have more energy and I'm not constantly sore. I've been slowly picking up my weights again, though I can feel how out of shape I am. I'm still thin but if I get to the point of sweating it feels like I'm going to pass out from heat exhaustion and my heart feels weak. I used to have a very strong heart but after years of sitting and not doing anything I'm sure something must have happened. so I try not to stress my heart too much but I'm slowly building cardio and endurance again.
    I don't think anyone will read this or care but it helps me write it down. it's a really big achievement for me.
    anyway, have a great day and stay healthy :)

    I am a "Senior" who has had enormous benefit from switching to methylcobalimine from the cyano-version. I USED to be very diabetic with great peripheral neuropathy damage to my feet and even hands. That damage is "supposed" to be permanent but mine is virtually GONE and I have regained full sensation everywhere---NO numbness or fire-feet! Seniors tend to become unable to properly digest and absorb vitamin B-12 from lack of stomach acid, and develop a range of "ageing" conditions, especially Psoriasis. A daily "megadose" of one to two and even three milligrams of Methylcobalimine is warranted, not toxic, and do not give up until you find an Internist who agrees with that. Yes, my psoriasis is gone too!.............................elsullo

      Julie ~I do agree with you in staying away from eating BEEF because of too high saturated fat content, fed GMO corn, antibiotics, and growth hormone steroids. “BUT” I strongly recommend, if you can get farmed organic or especially wild bush meat like Mule Deer is better eating than Whitetail Deer, Fallow or Red Deer, Caribou, Moose (I was raised with this), Bison (Buffalo), and/or ELK. These meats are much more healthier than BEEF, with very low saturated fat (about 10% of BEEF) and organic with no chemicals added to the meat like growth hormone steroids, etc. Also another thing to consider is organic Goat meat, organic Lamb is good but a higher saturated fat content.

    I’ve known this for decades which is why I’ve always chosen quality water in glass bottles over many vitamin drinks, fortified juices, etc. There are other vitamins (ie Vit C as citric acid from gmo corn, folic acid instead of folate, others we still don’t know about yet) that aren’t in their most nontoxic or useful forms added to many supplements and “foods” also. That’s why my health drastically improved after eating the cleanest and most nutrient dense whole foods I can possibly source, stopping supplement pills/powders (this space isn’t regulated and I’m personally not impressed with the items that are anyway) and using quantum upgrade and a rife machine only when needed. We’re all unique so this is just what I found to be optimal for me. Actually, my quantum upgrade subscription was a game changer.

    It’s so frustrating that this type of B12 is in almost everything that claims to have B12 over the counter. I got a whole food ‘supposedly’ good one without all the fillers and flow agents only to learn it was cyanocobalamin, the same is in my nutritional yeast flakes. So disappointing because I thought I was doing my body good but kept getting tummy issues and headaches from the B12 capsules.

    I woould suggest that hydroxocobalamin is the best form of b12 to be used by evryone. Its easly converted to methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin in the liver and to the amount your body needs. Hydroxocobalamin is found in beef and it stays for longer time in the blood. If this information helpd you, please press like.

    I just recently started taking Berberine and ACV in an effort to treat my diabetes in a natural way. Having a fatty liver with stage 3 scarring, as well as Crohn's disease makes it even more challenging.

I’m so confused on which diet is best for prevention, a plant based diet with fasting or keto with fasting? Don’t know which would be the best option. I read Chris beat cancer books and so many people were successful at curing there cancers with a plant based diet. Also, keto has worked for many people as well. I’m just unsure which lifestyle would be
    best for prevention. Thanks

      One of the most important things you can do is the prevention of recycling of the bile . You do this by consuming beans or psyllium husk (if your kidneys are compromised or you gave kidney disease, otherwise beans all the way ). What this preventing will do is excrete excess hormones that the liver cannot break down by the binding of the bile carrying the hormones which are fat soluble to the fiber which cannot be reabsorbed by the GI tract and thus , excreted by the large intestine via bowel movements.

    Hydroxycobalamin is the real version of b12, it has been given as an injection for treating cyanide poisoning for many decades. The hydroxycobalamin binds to cyanide to neutralize it and become the less toxic cyanocobalamin which is generally removed in the urine, small amounts can be breathed out. If you take a lot of cyanocobalamin it displaces the real versions of b12 which must be carried by intrinsic factor in the blood, filling up all the IF so even if the liver is making more it can't be transported in the blood. Therefore taking cyanocobalamin causes b12 deficiency which increases cyanide toxicity since many fruits and grains have some level of cyanide in them which are normally detoxified by b12. Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are co-enzymes of real b12 (hydroxycobalamin), but even taking high doses of those can cause b12 deficiency because they also fill up all the intrinsic factor which is needed to transport b12 in the blood to where it's needed. If you're going to take b12 it should optimally have at least an equal part of hydroxycobalamin if you want a blend containing also methyl and adenosylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin should not be consumed by any living thing, it's a (less) toxic waste product of detoxifying cyanide.

    Thanks Dr EB! QUESTION; Is there a significant difference or benefit between Adenosylcobalamin and Methylcobalamin? Is it just better to use B12 with L-5-MTHFR regardless of one's gene state?
