Now Foods Methyl B12 5000 mcg
Methylcobalamin (B-12) plays an active important role in the formation of red blood cells, in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, as well as in the regulation of the immune system.
According to international literature, methylcobalamin has metabolic benefits and potential therapeutic applications that are not offered by other forms of vitamin B-12. Although cyanocobalamin is the most common form of vitamin B-12 in dietary supplements, it is necessary to be converted into methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin.
Methylcobalamin participates in the synthesis of methionine. This contributes to the reduction of homocysteine levels, which is recognized as a risk factor, responsible for the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. It is also important for the formation of the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin.
Nutritional deficiencies, enzyme defects, and tissue abnormalities can reduce the body's ability to synthesize these active forms. Cobalamin deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia, peripheral neuropathy, irritability, dementia, depression, increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.
The biologically active form Methyl B-12 is a powerful donor of methyl groups to the myelin sheath, which insulates nerve fibers and regenerates damaged neurons.
