What is Methylocbalamin (b12)? How is it different from ordinary vitamin b12?
The most common B12 used in supplements is called Cyanocobalamin. It is a synthetic form of vitamin B12. Methylcobalamin is the naturally occurring form of Vitamin B12.
The body must convert Cyanocobalamin to Methylcobalamin in order to get adequate levels of Methyl B12 into the blood system. As the body gets older, it loses its ability to convert Cyanocobalamin to Methylcobalamin and absorption drops to as little as 1% of the amount taken. Studies have shown that the body excretes 3x as much Cyanocobalamin thru urine than Methylcobalamin, suggesting that Methylcobalamin may be retained better by the body.
Methylcobalamin is the form of vitamin B12 that can be directly utilized by the body and is more effectively retained. It is now available in our proprietary blend.
What is Benfotiamine? How is it different from ordinary vitamin b1?
Benfotiamine is a new type of vitamin B1. It is fat-soluble unlike Thiamine B1 which is water soluble. The result is that Benfotiamine can dramatically increase the levels of B1 in the bloodstream to help support nerve health. Studies have shown Benfotiamine to be absorbed 360% better than other, more common, forms of vitamin B1
