Vitamin B-12 is critical to the body, especially the central nervous system. But there was one important item that both the article and Dr. Mercola failed to mention -- not all B12 is created equally!
Almost all B complex vitamins contain the inactive form of B12, called cyanocobalamin. But the body cannot use the inactive form of B12. So the liver must convert cyanocobalamin into the active form, methylcobalamin.
The problem is that an estimated 51% of the population has trouble with this conversion, and the body excretes what it can't use through the kidneys.
Jigsaw's B-12 Methylcobalamin is the "coenzyme" (active) form of B12. Since it does not have to be converted by the liver, it is a quick release that dissolves in your mouth and enters directly into the blood stream through the mucosal lining.
The B-12 Methylcobalamin continues to be one of our top-sellers. I think this is because many chronix have figured out that the type of B12 supplement you take is critical.
Dr. Mercola wrote this recent commentary about the article, " Vegetarians, older folk advised to get enough B12"
