Vitamin B12 comes in different forms. This product contains the most common of them: cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, and dibencoside.
Why is it necessary to take Vitamin B-12?
Large amounts are especially needed to protect against the breakdown of nerve tissue as we age. Vitamin B-12 in its methylcobalamin form helps prevent Parkinson's disease and reduces the spread of the disease in those who have it.
Vitamin B-12 is essential for the denaturation of homocysteine.
It is a harmful byproduct of protein metabolism. The presence of B-12 helps convert it into methionine, which is used to build proteins. Therefore, it plays an extremely important role in protein synthesis, which is necessary for cardiovascular function. High levels of homocysteine can cause heart disease and heart attack.
