Is this currently available? Is it a supplement or a pharmaceutical?

Edit: I found an article about it here:

Sublingual (melts under your tongue) methylcobalamin has been available as an inexpensive supplement at standard grocery stores for years in the US, it's just that most multivitamins still use the even cheaper cyanocobalamin. Go wherever you would usually buy vitamins and you'll likely find it.

It's in meat, and most vegetarians don't get enough of it.

I just ordered some and look forward to seeing the effect it has for me.

Actually someone who tests for B-12 found that about 40% of vegetarians have it and 40% of meat-eaters have it. Many have problems assimilating it. Fasting on only pure water has cured vitamin B-12 deficiency.

Hello Everybody,

I just sort of happened by and saw the conversation going on about methylb12. Having recovered from serious deficiency illness I have learned a lot, such as some brands are 100x more effective than some other brands. Also I have been injecting methylcobalamin for 5 years and have learned why not all mb12 is created equal for injections as well as the necessary cofactors needed to maximize healing. It's really not quite so simple as just ordering any old mb12 of any brand and taking it any old way. You can increase your odds of success massively by doing what works.

Anyway, if you are interested I'll be glad to share what I know. It's getting late now. I'll be around.
