NatureMade has very strange labeling IMO. It is basically the only thing I dislike about them.

1) methylcobalamin should be on the label for activated B12.
I see one NatureMade product that lists in "other ingredients" cyanocobalamin....

2) Don't purchase timed release products for B12... there is only one company making a B12 with a carrier, that works..
All other timed release will not give up the B12 in the short area of the intestine fast enough...for any success. So avoid those.
They are just fancy sounding "tricks" to see a product.

Cyanocobalamin is the synthetic form.
Methylcobalamin is the activated form.
Hydroxocobalamin is partially activated.
s-adenosylcobalmin is active. Also called dibencozide

The new patented improved absorption of cyano is

More expensive and more difficult to find.

If a product does not clearly state what is in it, move on to one that does. That is what I do.
