Methyl B12 is activated B12. The only kind our bodies' can use.

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic version that historically was the first offered for treatment use. It remains the least expensive and most common form for injection, and in most vitamin supplements.

Methylcobalamin works faster. And in some people, who cannot convert the cyano kind well, remains the best choice.

Why take something like cyano when methyl is available orally for about 9 cents a day?

Most stores do not have methyl yet, but iherb.com offers several brands.

If you search here you can find many many posts about it.
Here is a link to the search results:
