What kinds of vitamin B12 dietary supplements are available? Vitamin B12 is available in multivitamin/multimineral supplements, in B-complex supplements, and in supplements containing only vitamin B12. It is usually in a form called cyanocobalamin. Other common forms are adenosylcobalamin, methylcobalamin, and hydroxycobalamin. Vitamin B12 is also available in a form that’s dissolved under your tongue (called sublingual vitamin B12). Research has not shown that any form of supplemental vitamin B12 is better than the others. The amount of vitamin B12 in supplements varies widely. Some provide doses of vitamin B12 that are much higher than recommended amounts, such as 500 mcg or 1,000 mcg, but your body absorbs only a small percentage of it. These doses are considered safe.

Vitamin B12 is also available by prescription as a nasal gel that’s sprayed into the nose. Am I getting enough vitamin B12? Most people in the United States get enough vitamin B12 from the foods they eat. But some people have trouble absorbing vitamin B12 from food. The body absorbs vitamin B12 from food in a two-step process. First, hydrochloric acid in the stomach separates vitamin B12 from the protein that it’s attached to. Second, the freed vitamin B12 then combines with a protein made by the stomach, called intrinsic factor, and the body absorbs them together. Vitamin B12 in dietary supplements isn’t attached to protein and doesn’t require the first step. However, B12 in supplements does need to combine with intrinsic factor to be absorbed. People with pernicious anemia, an autoimmune disease, can’t make intrinsic factor. As a result, they have trouble absorbing vitamin B12 from foods and dietary supplements.

Just a note here, on Fortified Cereals: 50 years ago, when I was in College, I lived on Fry Bread, Peanut Butter, CokaCola, and KaBoom Cereal from General Mills... Each Bowl of KaBoom Cereal had 100% of the Daily Vitamin & Mineral Requirements for an Adult... As a student in Organic Chemistry, I had many 24 hour, and 36 hour, long Lab sessions where I had to watch, record, and document complex Organic Synthesis operations, and the above sustained me during those periods...

Protein if the form of Peanut Butter, Carbs from the Fry Bread, and Cereal, Sugars from the Coke and Cereal, and the Vitamins and Minerals from the Cereal... Oh yea, I for got the daily Banana... which made me a Monkey...
Just out of the Navy and starting a new way of life I used 1/2 baked cracked soybeans, breakfast cereals, raisins, peanut butter, carbs from white sugar, and milk for energy during each morning meal. Worked well and saved a lot of money.
