Vitamin B12 pills name

Answer 1

The vitamin B-12 in pills is usually cobalamin or cyanocobalamin. This is the cheap but hard to digest and absorb type of cobalamin. High quality B-12 supplements will use methylcobalamin, as that is the form used in the body itself.

Do not swallow methylcobalamin tablets, the B-12 will be destroyed by stomach acid and you will have wasted your money! They are sublingual tablets which must be held under the tongue until dissolved.
