Cyanocobalamin: The REAL Reason Why You Should Avoid Synthetic B12

today I’m going to talk about a version of vitamin B12 that I would recommend avoiding it’s called cyano called bolamine now cobolamine is a molecule with Cobalt it’s kind of a foundational structure of B12 and then there’s different versions of B12 cyanocobolamine is this synthetic version it’s very very cheap it’s in pretty much all the Fortified grains like cereals snack bars it’s in most One A Day synthetic vitamins and if I’m not mistaken it’s also fortified in infant formulas and things like that and it’s definitely an energy drinks as well and sometimes it has very high doses sometimes between 8 000 to 14 000 percent are requirements and the problem that I don’t like about it is the cyanide part of it there’s a cyanide molecule attached to this cobolamine that a lot of times people will brush off as being well it’s it’s insignificant it’s a small amount our liver can detoxify it fine but what about if someone’s doing these energy drinks taking vitamins doing a lot of refined grains getting massive massive amounts of this cyanocoboamine cyanide shuts down the oxygen to your mitochondria so it destroys the motor of the mitochondria in fact this is interesting when you get cyanide poisoning or even carbon monoxide poisoning and you go to the emergency room they have to give you a remedy to counter that and that happens to be something I’ve been talking about in some recent videos called methylene blue methylene blue is the antidote to cyanide because it bypasses the mitochondrial damage and it gives mitochondria the oxygen it needs and a lot of the B12 injections they’re using this synthetic version as well and so there is some side effects like vomiting stomach problem problems a potassium deficiency which can lead to arrhythmias headache fever dizziness Etc but personally I think the biggest problem with this cyanocobolamine is the cyanide part you just don’t need a lot of cyanide in the body but it is true that our liver does have the ability to detoxify small amounts of cyanide but what I’m talking about is larger amounts okay and now if we compound that on what I am finding on quite a few DNA tests is the inability to fully detoxify in other words there are a lot of people that have mutations or problems with their detoxification genes so if that’s a problem and you’re taking a lot of the cyanide you might have a difficult time getting rid of it now on top of that there’s also a very common genetic problem relating to methylation which is basically adding something to a chemical compound in your body to help you detoxify to help things work better to help you become healthier and so you possibly have heard of this genetic problem it’s called MTHFR I mean it sounds like a swear word but it’s not but if you have a mutation with this Gene you’re going to have a hard time with methylation which means that if you take the wrong B12 okay the form of B12 you’re gonna have even worse problems the type of B12 that you need if you have that genetic problem the more you’re going to need a natural form of B12 and the one I’m talking about is methylcobolamine and just as a side note I would always take that with methylfolate as well because if you’re also taking synthetic folate which is also in the in enriched grain products you can have more of a problem but methylcobolamine is the one I would recommend because it’s going to help you if you have these genetic issues and methylcobolamine is an active form of B12 it stays in the body a lot longer than the synthetic versions it can really greatly improve your sleep it can decrease the need for sleep it can help you wake up feeling alert and refreshed it can prevent the person who just doesn’t get tired at night that just lays there until two or three in the morning it’s great for the nervous system especially your myelin sheath because if you’re deficient you’re going to have problems with numbness tingling paresthesia and a lot of other degeneration issues of the nervous system this methylcobolamine is also really good for visual accommodation so your ability to see things without needing glasses okay so many times people start taking methylcobalamine and noticing that their vision is better methylcobolamine also can help you increase melatonin that’s probably why it helps your sleep it also decreases something called homocysteine which can put you at risk for heart attacks or a stroke it even can help regular like cortisol that stress hormone it’s also important to mention that a lot of people are deficient in B12 for other reasons not because they’re not consuming even the right form of B12 or foods high in B12 like liver or red meat or eggs things like that but they might have inflammation in the stomach also they might have H pylori active or they might have low hydrochloric acid or they might have gastric bypass or even inflammation in the intestines especially the lower last part of the small intestine which is where you absorb each 12 so if there’s inflammation there let’s say they have IBS or Crohn’s or diverticulitis or whatever and then they’re going to need to take more of B12 in the right form B12 is very very important for your red blood cells and so if you’re low on B12 you can be anemic and when we’re taking the wrong type of B12 like the cyanocobolamine which actually has a direct effect on oxygen to your red blood cells it doesn’t make sense you don’t need to add more cyanide to your diet there’s other forms of B12 like hydroxyclobalamine but that has to be converted and also another one called adenosyl cobalamine which is the active form okay so it is active and it’s not bad to take but it it doesn’t have the methyl connected to it that we need in so many genetic problems anyway I wanted to bring up the importance of taking the right form of B12 and avoiding the wrong type of B12 and hopefully you’re not one of those people who are do a lot of these energy drinks or grains but if you are you should probably know what diet to be on and for that information you should check this video out right here
