Woodlawn, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/27/2015 -- Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12 which is readily available for the body to utilize without the need of conversion. Compared with cyanocobalamin, it appears that methylcobalamin is better absorbed and retained in higher amounts within the body tissues. In simple terms, they are used much more effectively and efficiently by the body. In general, methylcobalamin is used primarily in the liver, brain and nervous systems. It is the first form of vitamin B12 that is used to optimize nervous system health with a vitamin supplement.

Methylcobalamin is the only active form of Vitamin B-12 in the brain outside the mitochondrion. The liver must convert cyanocobalamin to methylcobalamin in order for Vitamin B-12 to do its biochemical work in the brain. When the complex conversion of cyanocobalamin is not completed, the brain is robbed of the benefits of methylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is a by-product of Vitamin B-12 charcoal extraction. Scientific methods led people to believe that cyanocobalamin, not methylcobalamin was the naturally occurring form of Vitamin B-12. Cyanide in the charcoal replaces the methyl group in much the same way as it does in the body of a cigarette smoker. Vitamin B-12 requires the assistance of Intrinsic Factor to enter the body from the small intestine. Without Intrinsic Factor, dietary Vitamin B-12 or B-12-containing supplements go unabsorbed. Methylcobalamin plays a key role in sleep. It helps the brain fill up its neurotransmitter "gas tank" when neurotransmitters are produced from amino acids. Similarly, depression also improves more quickly and completely when patients take methylcobalamin. Depression also can worsen even while using antidepressants if a restrictive diet is started to lose weight.

Homocysteine has emerged on center-stage as a biochemical culprit associated with vascular and brain disease. Methylcobalamin and 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate are crucial to the elimination of homocysteine. Vitamin supplementation reduces the chances of building up levels of homocysteine associated with stress.

Clinical experience and scientific research have clearly established the importance of Vitamin B-12. The discovery of Vitamin B-12 was considered so monumental that the responsible researchers were honored with the Nobel Prize. Recent discoveries have demonstrated the value of using methylcobalamin for improvement in the cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems. Methyl-life helps you understand how vitamin B-12 methylcobalamin can help in healthy development and sustenance of circulatory system, immune and nervous system.

About Methyl-Life
The main objective of Methyl-Life is to help people find a better quality of life by providing supplements that are specific to genetic needs. Methyl-Life strives to do this by choosing the highest quality ingredients that are the market's most bioactive (or directly absorbable by the body). Specifically they are packaging ingredients that can supplement health by bridging over the MTHFR gene mutation gaps.

Methyl-Life believes that genetic mutations are like leaky water valves, you may not notice them at first, but over time they can cause more and more damage. These genetic mutations can allow environmental factors to affect your health. Therefore supplementing with ingredients that are genetically 'right' for your particular mutation not only helps to promote health and delay the onset of disease, but it also increases the quality of life. Their main goal is to help you increase the quality of life you have here on earth. Life is short and methyl-life wants to see you live it to the fullest!
