Cyanocobalmin leaves molecules of cyanide in the body after it is absorbed so i don't use it. The reason it is used by medical practioners is due to its longer 'shelf life'. Methylcobalamin needs dark cool conditions to ensure no loss of potency and is impractical for chemists to stock.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is common amongst vegetarians and they mistakenly think they can get it from spirulina.

PS I also use co- enzyme Q10.
(note to anyone on statins- statins reduce your body's own capacity to produce it, and also you produce less as you age.) Deficiency leads to heart problems.
