Please stop using Cyanocobalamin Vit B12

[Tim_Huel]

@Marcella

It doesn´t occur naturally in this form and the body can´t take any advantage of it.

@Marcella

Therefore, paradoxically, Cyanocobalamin can and will cause a lack in (natural) B12

@Marcella

Since some bodys have large ressources of B12, the lack can occur after years

Hi there, thanks for the post and welcome to the forum. We don’t agree that cyanocobalamin is inferior because it is synthetic. ​Although this form is artificial, other forms are either not as well absorbed by the body or are not stable in food products over shelf-life, so nutritionally cyanocobalamin is the superior form of B12. See this post from James who devised the Huel formula.

Vitamin D & B12

The D2 and D3 are not in ‘very low amounts’. The amount of vitamin D in Huel is high. Remember that Huel is not a supplement. The amount of B12 is also high and the cyanocobalamin form is actually superior. Sure, there are studies that indicate that the methyl form has greater bioavailability, but cyanocobalamin still has a high bioavailability and methylcobalamin falls off in foods rapidly over the shelf-life making it inferior. Plus, of course, methylcobalamin is only for permitted for use in…

@Marcella

I know, everybody uses Cyanocobalamin, because it´s cheaper

Not the case, we use it because, amongst other reasons, we cannot use any other form that has the same performance.
