B12 Update

Forgot to mention yesterday about the B12 update. I probably forgot because in still deficient in B12!

I brought the 1000mcg  tablet from Holland and Barrett a few weeks back. A dose of 1000mcg should be plenty to top me up though considering im still middle of the range. In fact we only need 2.5mcg a day. The problem most people have is in the absorption. So the higher the dose the more likely people are going to get it into the system.

However theres a 3 different types of B12 one is methyl-cobalamin, another is hydro-cobalamin, the other is Cyano-cobalamin.

The problem is although all are B12, or its scientific name Cobalamin, the first part of the name refers to what type of compound it is. And can completely affect its absorption, and therefore effectiveness.

I think the problem Im having is that the Holland and Barrett variety is Cyanocobalamin. It's the Methylcobalamin variety that I need.

So will update you again when I order and get the new type (only available from overseas)!
