If this is a superior whole-food multi-vitaminm, then why is the form of B-12 Cyanobalamin instead of Methylcobalamin?

There is only one chemical difference between the two. Cyanobalamin is the one used most. Methylcobalamin is becoming more popular. Hoping Alive will switch. The reason Companies use cyanobalamin is it is cheaper and is believed not to have side effects

Get this one instead. Superior Source No Shot B12/B-6/folic Acid, 10,000 mcg/1200 mcg, 60 caps.This contains 10MG of B12 plus the folic acid 1.2mg. I can care less about this last but the B12 it is essential to have it. The company Source naturals are good quality products but the one you are thinking of buying is too low in B12. The superior source has the bottle with 60 units and 10MG each capsule.Just take one capsule with breakfast, you'll feel the difference.

Methylcobalamin contains NO CYANIDE! And it is NOT mixed with this or any other vitamin. Period.

The product isn't certified by the vegan society, however I have yet to find a b12 supplement that's endorsed specifically. The ingredients besides obviously Methylcobalamin are purified water, vegetable glycerin, and potassium sorbate. As a long time vegan I trust this product :)

Both Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin are laboratory created versions whereas plain Cobalamin is a natural food extraction. If you really want products that work ALWAYS choose natural food sources rather than lab created "vitamins".

Hi Maria,Yes the wording is correct 1mg. If you check other B12 products they are noted in mcg, not mg, so you will see values like 800mcg, 500mcg etc, in that case you have to note this product is 1000 mcg. There are products showing 5000mcg, which is 5mg however if they are not MethylCobalamine then your body will not absorb them so they are basically pointless. B12 is not like vitamin C, or D its only required in low quantities. I hope this helps clarify

Hi Debbie..These are sublingual tablets that you hold under your tongue, and let them melt in your mouth. They're about the size of an M&M;, and are cherry flavored. They are better than other b-12 meds, which the body has to turn into methylcobalamin. And if you swallow one accidently, it shouldn't be a problem. I've done it a couple of time. I'd reciommend this one to you without hesitation

I just went to Bing and typed in "Alive multivitamin" and several websites came up that contain the label information. There are sooo many vitamins and minerals it'd take me a long time to type that all up but one website I found - Natures Way - showed the label information that'll answer your questions.

I have not been able to find the answer to this question in my searches, but in related searches, I would guess that it is Methylcobalomin since this is the natural form of B12. Mega Food takes it's vitamins directly from organic food, so I would think they would use the most natural forms of B12.

Greetings....their B-12 is a result of cultivating certain raw elements and is unlike anything on the market. If you go to www.rawvitamins.com you can get a comprehensive answer. Also, their Vitamin D3 I take also because it is a result of using cultivated raw vegetables (mushrooms, I believe0 and it the best product on the market. That, too, is explained at the above website. Enjoy!! Fred

There are two forms of B-12. Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. Most people can convert Cyanocobalamin to the usable form of B-12 Methylcobalamin, but unfortunately this is not true for everyone. I have used both; injections of Cyanocobalamin and sublingual Methylcobalamin. I do not take regular B-12 tablets as they are not digested well and I was not seeing any change in my condition when using them. The sublingual Methylcobalamin seems to work faster than the injections but I have to take several tablets daily whereas I do one shot every five to seven days. I had to quit the shots for awhile due to nerve damage so the Methylcobalamin was an effective substitution. I think you will find it more beneficial than regular B-12 tablets. Hope this helps!

Methylcobalamin is equivalent physiologically to vitamin B12, and can be used to prevent or treat pathology arising from a lack of vitamin B12 (vitamin B12 deficiency), such as pernicious anemia.Methylcobalamin is also used in the treatment of peripheral neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and as a preliminary treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

It is from folic acid. The B6 is from pyridoxine HCl and the B12 is from methylcobalamin.

The cyanocobalamin is listed in the ingredients while methylcobalamin is not listed as an ingredient.

That I can't answer for sure because I am not a doctor. My doctor recommend this for me and this bottle it says on it highly blovailable Methylocobalamin form. Quick desolve. I have just been on this pill a few days. Best to take this by your doctors office and ask them. I feel my energy level is better already but I am not you. Check with your doctor.

I was suprised too. I have an old bottle that actually used to have B121 listed. Then one day it wasn't on the label. I now used a vegan multivitamin powder that absorbed easier and goes well intomy shakes.

It does not say on the packaging. You would likely have to contact the company if that is important to you. The b vitimins in this product are vegan and non gmo...grown on fungi/yeast/molasses. As far as the question, different nutritional '' experts' will say one is better than the other. I also take an extra b12 which is methyl......Which one is considered to be better in your opinion? Why is it important?
