Hi Shaws You mentioned about B12 and that it has to be something rather than something else

My B12 vitamin bottle states methylcellulose whatever that is ? Is it same ?

Regards

Any supplementary B12 must be methylcobalamin. Do not take cyanocobalamin. Never heard of methylcellulose but off to check it out

Hi

Just checked out my bottle of pills - this is it. as you can see it says Methyl B 12, then it also says 'The superior form of B12 Methylcobalamin'

It also has cellulose as be of the ingredients.

Hope that helps, as Nostoneunturned says - don't buy the cyanocobalamin.

Methycellulose is just a non-digestible cellulose derived from vegetable matter. It is probably used as a filler in whatever your bottle has. Look for the word "methylcoblalmin", this is the best and most easily assimilated form of B12. Amazon has excellent B12 as methylcobalamin, 60 tabs each of 5000mcg, the equivalent of 5mg. Jarrows or Swansons, take your pick.

No I knew I had Methylcobalamin , I've never heard if the one Thyroid Hell was talking about but the Jarrows have 'cellulose' tucked away on the small print :-)
