1. **Bioavailability**: Methylcobalamin is a biologically active form of vitamin B12, meaning it is more readily used by the body. Cyanocobalamin, on the other hand, must be converted into an active form (methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin) before the body can use it.
2. **Better Retention**: Studies suggest that methylcobalamin may be retained in higher amounts within the body compared to cyanocobalamin, potentially leading to longer-lasting effects.
3. **Supports Methylation**: Methylcobalamin directly contributes to the methylation process, which is vital for DNA synthesis and repair, detoxification, and the regulation of homocysteine levels. This process is crucial for maintaining neurological function and overall cellular health.
4. **Fewer Additives**: Methylcobalamin supplements often have fewer additives than cyanocobalamin ones, which might be important for people sensitive to certain ingredients.
5. **Reduced Risk of Toxicity**: Cyanocobalamin releases small amounts of cyanide as a byproduct when converted to active B12 in the body. While the amount is usually considered negligible and safe, some people prefer methylcobalamin to avoid even trace amounts of cyanide, especially if they have conditions that make them more sensitive to it. In addition many additives of B12 in products such as sports drinks, is Cyancobalamin and may increase the risk of toxicity if consumed regularly.
