How to Determine Adenosylcobalamin Deficiency
High levels of Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) in the blood or the urine reflect inadequate adenosylcobalamin levels. One study found people with reported MMA levels of .27 micromoles per liter or higher (.26 or above indicates B-12 deficiency) may show higher homocysteine levels, while those at .60 may suffer from neurological issues.[1, 2] Testing for MMA will reveal whether the body is adenosylcobalamin deficient.
4. Supplementing With Adenosylcobalamin
Although it’s a natural and essential form of B-12, adenosylcobalamin is not stable in a pill form (unlike cyanocobalamin) so it’s not commonly used in B-12 supplements unless it’s a liquid formulation. VeganSafe™ B-12 is a liquid B-12 supplement I developed that combines the coenzyme forms of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. It’s absolutely ideal for getting your daily requirements of B-12 and perfect for those with an increased risk of B-12 deficiency, especially older adults, vegetarians,
I want to try this type of b12, since I read an article on here on this form of B12. I found $17 under your tongue melts, on Amazon, and this vegan B12 liquid from Global Healing $40, very expensive, I'd rather not spend that much, but if what this Dr. Said is true, what do you do!! What has been your experience with this type of b12 in pill form.
