If you have the genetic mutation in MTHFR then you will not convert cyano form of B12 efficiently, or folic acid to methylfolate.
Oral methylcobalamin works as well as injections or better, if you take it properly... on an empty stomach every day. It costs pennies a day too.
Methylcobalamin is available in injectable form, from a compounding pharmacy. It is unstable once mixed into a liquid form but may be kept in the frig for short periods until used.
It is not carried in regular pharmacies because of the short shelf life.
If you don't have the genetic mutation (and estimates today are 10-30% of people do have it)...cyano should work for you.
An alternative injectable that is partially activated is hydroxocobalamin... this is available special order from your pharmacy. (it is used in hospitals to treat cyanide smoke inhalation in the ER).
