What is the type of Vitamin B12 that is added to Nature’s Superfoods Nutritional Yeast ?

The type of B12 added to our Nutritional Yeast is cyanocobalamin (a synthetic form of B12), not methylcobalamin (natural form of B12). Naturally occurring methylcobalamin can only be found in animal-based food sources such as beef, organ meats, eggs, dairy products, fatty fish. Having said that, when cyanocobalamin enters the human body, it’s converted into either methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin, which are the two active forms of vitamin B12 in humans i.e. the body can convert synthetic forms of Vitamin B12 into natural ones.

Although distinct differences exist between methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin, both have beneficial effects on health and can prevent B12 deficiencies.
