this video is in response to a question

relating to the difference between

synthetic and natural b12 the synthetic

version of b12 is called cyano Kabul

Amin and the natural version is methyl

cobalamin now the main reason why people

get this version is it’s incredibly

cheap and on the label sometimes it’ll

say I don’t know five thousand percent

of normal and people think more is

better well the reason why it’s five

thousand percent is that it takes so

much of it to be absorbed it takes four

steps for it to convert into this

version to then be absorbed so number

one it’s not absorbed easily but number

two this splits off into cyanide and you

heard me correctly I said cyanide now I

don’t know about you maybe it’s just me

but I don’t want cyanide in my body and

of course they’ll say it’s non-toxic in

small amounts unless you’re a smoker

okay because there’s cyanide in certain

brands of cigarettes or your profession

is involved in mining where there could

potentially be more cyanide or pest

control but for the normal person that’s

healthy

they say that cyanide is not toxic in

small dosages I don’t know I’m just

gonna avoid it my body because I don’t

want poison in my body

they said that trans fats weren’t bad

and then they found that it was bad they

said that Follette amide wasn’t bad and

then they found it was bad they even

said that smoking wasn’t bad until they

found it causes cancer the last thing

I’m gonna do is have them find out that

oh we just found out cyanide is

poisonous and small dosages I don’t want

that to happen if you’re gonna take b12

methyl cobalamin is the version that I

would recommend it’s bound to a protein

so it takes acid in your stomach to

break it down if you don’t have enough

stomach acid it’s going to be difficult

to absorb this or extract it from the

food that you’re eating most animal

products like Meads and even liver are

filled with b12 but if you’re a vegan it

might be difficult getting b12 so you

need number one stomach acid number

there’s something called the intrinsic

factor that’s in your stomach it’s a

little thing that helps transport b12

into the small intestine where it’s

absorbed but if you have a condition

called atrophic gastritis it’s an

autoimmune disease of a certain cell

that makes hydrochloric acid then you’re

gonna have a problem with this and

you’re gonna also have a problem

absorbing b12 there’s a really good

product though that I would recommend if

you have this condition and standard

process makes it it’s called the eye pan

okay I’m gonna write this down in case

you ever need it

zai pan you can buy it online just do a

search for it but that has the intrinsic

factor in there and that can help people

absorb b12 also if you had stomach

surgery maybe involving your gastric

bypass or something that could be a

problem with this right here also if

you’re taking metformin that can create

a b12 deficiency and then if you’re a

vegan you’re gonna have to get b12 from

other sources you can get b12 from wheat

grass juice powder because the microbes

in there can make b12 but if you’re an

efficient in b12 here’s some side

effects

number one diarrhea number two your

nauseating you might have an upset

stomach it she rash headaches dizzy

joint pain like really severe pain if

you’re deficient in b12 or even fatigue

b12 involved with the production of red

blood cells it’s also involved in brain

function and nerve function and even the

creation of DNA all right there you have
