Cyanocobalamin is the most common form used in dietary supplements and food fortification because cyanide stabilizes the molecule against degradation. Methylcobalamin is also offered as a dietary supplement. [9] There is no advantage to the use of adenosylcobalamin or methylcobalamin forms for the treatment of vitamin B 12 deficiency. [14] [15] [4]
Animals, including humans, can convert cyanocobalamin to any one of the active vitamin B 12 compounds. [21] Cyanocobalamin is one of the most widely manufactured vitamers in the vitamin B 12 family (the family of chemicals that function as B 12 when put into the body), because cyanocobalamin is the most air-stable of the B 12 forms. [22]
Enzymes that require methylcobalamin carry out methyl transfer reactions. Enzymes that require adenosylcobalamin catalyse reactions in which the first step is the cleavage of adenosylcobalamin to form cob(II)alamin and the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical, and thus act as radical generators.

Methylcobalamin (mecobalamin, MeCbl, or MeB 12) is a cobalamin, a form of vitamin B 12. It differs from cyanocobalamin in that the cyano group at the cobalt is replaced with a methyl group . [ 1 ] Methylcobalamin features an octahedral cobalt(III) centre and can be obtained as bright red crystals. [ 2 ]
In methylcobalamin the ligand is a methyl group, which is electrophilic. in vitamin B12, the alkyl ligand is an adenosyl group. Related to vitamin B12 are cobalt porphyrins, dimethylglyoximates, and related complexes of Schiff base ligands. These synthetic compounds also form alkyl derivatives that undergo diverse reactions reminiscent of the ...
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now classifies eggs as a “healthy, nutrient-dense" food, according to a new proposed rule. Registered dietitians react to the change.
