Compare first

  • Cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin, or hydroxocobalamin
  • Dose and frequency
  • Diet pattern and absorption risk

Watch out

  • Energy claims are most relevant when B12 intake or absorption is low.
  • Metformin and proton pump inhibitors can be relevant to B12 status.

Label traps

  • Very high mcg numbers are common and do not always mean better results.
  • B12 is not a stimulant.
