Lightbulb Eligen 12: RX only

Here is an update with a press release about this product which I posted about in the past when it was still in the pipeline.

http://www.emisphere.com/eligen_b12.html

It is disappointing to me because it is cyano form, and an expensive RX product. People with the MTHFR mutations do not do well on cyanocobalamin products or injections. They need the methylcobalamin which is the active form biologically.

Methylcobalamin can be absorbed by those with damaged or little intrinsic factor. It is passively absorbed in the small intestine, and requires no food to be present. It is meant to be taken daily, and only costs pennies a day and is OTC (over the counter).

The work done by Emisphere on the dosage form however, may be useful in the future for other products.
