What is Methly B-12 and what effect does it have?
Methly B-12 refers to methylcobalamin, an active form of vitamin B-12. Due to its active form, methylcobalamin has a high bioavailability. It can therefore be better absorbed by the body and can also be stored three times longer in the body.
Vitamin B-12 plays a particularly important role in metabolic processes and the formation of red blood cells. The following statements about the effect of methylcobalamin have been scientifically proven.
- Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy metabolism

When should vitamin B12 be taken?
Animal foods are the main sources of vitamin B12.

The German Nutrition Society recommends that pregnant women, nursing mothers, infants, children and adolescents who follow a vegan diet take vitamin B12 supplements on a regular basis. [1]
