Douglas Laboratories Liquid B12 Methylcobalamin

• Douglas Laboratories Methylcobalamin Liquid provides 1,000 mcg of highly bioavailable vitamin B12 in a tasty and convenient liquid.

• Vitamin B12 is essential for normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fat and protein. As a cofactor for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase enzymes, vitamin B12 helps convert odd chain fatty acids and branched chain amino acids into succinyl-CoA, a common citric acid cycle intermediate.

• Vitamin B12 as provided by Douglas Laboratories Methylcobalamin Liquid is also required for nucleic acid (DNA) synthesis, methionine synthesis from cysteine, and normal myelin synthesis in the nervous system.

• Along with vitamin B6 and folic acid, adequate levels of vitamin B12 are required to maintain normal plasma homocysteine levels.

• Certain populations, including the elderly, those with HIV/AIDS, and strict vegetarians are often at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency, either due to low dietary intake or impaired absorption.

• Most of the vitamin B12 found in supplements is in the form of cyanocobalamin. While cyanocobalamin is an excellent source of vitamin B12, studies indicate that methylcobalamin, a coenzyme form of B12, may be better utilized and better retained in the body. Other studies indicate that methylcobalamin itself may play important roles in supporting neurological and immune health.

• Douglas Laboratories Methylcobalamin Liquid may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to increase their intake of vitamin B12.
