Hi - My first post. By way of brief background ... I have read everthing here on the subject of B12 (Types, injection/oral route etc) and benefited from it - and thank everybody... re their inputs on B12. Also I have read everything I can find on the internet...., plus 2 books - Could It Be B12 & Chandy's B12 Def In Clinical Practice.
This question.... my take a Chemistry Grad (Plus) ... to possibly answer, but
..............................................................................................................................................
" Is there any ... Laymans Method ... to - check if Methyl - Cobalamin POWDER is Methyl and not .... for example .... Hydroxy or Cyano Powder"
..............................................................................................................................................
The reason being - they ALL tend to look the same - ie like cayenne pepper.
- BUT THE COST Differs Markedly.
- And also the benefits/effect will differ too.
Obviously a chemistry expert - may commonly know.... that if say you add household X... to Y - the solution should turn blue - or say go clear. Or closer to the question - if you add X? to ..... MethylCobalamin
- because of the METHYL Group then ... ?? should happen.... (which wouldn't happen in NON Methyl B12's).
Hope the question makes sense.... & obviously in the real world ..... there are unscroupulous sellers who will pass off Cheap CyanoCobalamin .... for more expensive versions.
Thanks in advance regards - GazKaz
