today I’m going to talk about a version

of vitamin B12 that I would recommend

avoiding it’s called cyano called

bolamine now cobolamine is a molecule

with Cobalt it’s kind of a foundational

structure of B12 and then there’s

different versions of B12

cyanocobolamine is this synthetic

version it’s very very cheap it’s in

pretty much all the Fortified grains

like cereals snack bars it’s in most One

A Day synthetic vitamins and if I’m not

mistaken it’s also fortified in infant

formulas and things like that and it’s

definitely an energy drinks as well and

sometimes it has very high doses

sometimes between 8 000 to 14

000 percent

are requirements and the problem that I

don’t like about it is the cyanide part

of it there’s a cyanide molecule

attached to this cobolamine that a lot

of times people will brush off as being

well it’s it’s insignificant it’s a

small amount our liver can detoxify it

fine but what about if someone’s doing

these energy drinks taking vitamins

doing a lot of refined grains getting

massive massive amounts of this

cyanocoboamine cyanide shuts down the

oxygen to your mitochondria so it

destroys the motor of the mitochondria

in fact this is interesting when you get

cyanide poisoning or even carbon

monoxide poisoning and you go to the

emergency room they have to give you a

remedy to counter that and that happens

to be something I’ve been talking about

in some recent videos called methylene

blue methylene blue is the antidote to

cyanide because it bypasses the

mitochondrial damage and it gives

mitochondria the oxygen it needs and a

lot of the B12 injections they’re using

this synthetic version as well and so

there is some side effects like vomiting

stomach problem problems a potassium

deficiency which can lead to arrhythmias

headache fever dizziness Etc but

personally I think the biggest problem

with this cyanocobolamine is the cyanide

part you just don’t need a lot of

cyanide in the body but it is true that

our liver does have the ability to

detoxify small amounts of cyanide but

what I’m talking about is larger amounts

okay and now if we compound that on what

I am finding on quite a few DNA tests is

the inability to fully detoxify in other

words there are a lot of people that

have mutations or problems with their

detoxification genes so if that’s a

problem and you’re taking a lot of the

cyanide you might have a difficult time

getting rid of it now on top of that

there’s also a very common genetic

problem relating to methylation which is

basically adding something to a chemical

compound in your body to help you

detoxify to help things work better to

help you become healthier and so you

possibly have heard of this genetic

problem it’s called MTHFR I mean it

sounds like a swear word but it’s not

but if you have a mutation with this

Gene you’re going to have a hard time

with methylation which means that if you

take the wrong B12 okay the form of B12

you’re gonna have even worse problems

the type of B12 that you need if you

have that genetic problem the more

you’re going to need a natural form of

B12 and the one I’m talking about is

methylcobolamine and just as a side note

I would always take that with

methylfolate as well because if you’re

also taking synthetic folate which is

also in the in enriched grain products

you can have more of a problem but

methylcobolamine is the one I would

recommend because it’s going to help you

if you have these genetic issues and

methylcobolamine is an active form of

B12 it stays in the body a lot longer

than the synthetic versions it can

really greatly improve your sleep it can

decrease the need for sleep it can help

you wake up feeling alert and refreshed

it can prevent the person who just

doesn’t get tired at night that just

lays there until two or three in the

morning it’s great for the nervous

system especially your myelin sheath

because if you’re deficient you’re going

to have problems with numbness tingling

paresthesia and a lot of other

degeneration issues of the nervous

system this methylcobolamine is also

really good for visual accommodation so

your ability to see things without

needing glasses okay so many times

people start taking methylcobalamine and

noticing that their vision is better

methylcobolamine also can help you

increase melatonin that’s probably why

it helps your sleep it also decreases

something called homocysteine which can

put you at risk for heart attacks or a

stroke it even can help regular like

cortisol that stress hormone it’s also

important to mention that a lot of

people are deficient in B12 for other

reasons not because they’re not

consuming even the right form of B12 or

foods high in B12 like liver or red meat

or eggs things like that but they might

have inflammation in the stomach also

they might have H pylori active or they

might have low hydrochloric acid or they

might have gastric bypass or even

inflammation in the intestines

especially the lower last part of the

small intestine which is where you

absorb each 12 so if there’s

inflammation there let’s say they have

IBS or Crohn’s or diverticulitis or

whatever and then they’re going to need

to take more of B12 in the right form

B12 is very very important for your red

blood cells and so if you’re low on B12

you can be anemic and when we’re taking

the wrong type of B12 like the

cyanocobolamine which actually has a

direct effect on oxygen to your red

blood cells it doesn’t make sense you

don’t need to add more cyanide to your

diet there’s other forms of B12 like

hydroxyclobalamine but that has to be

converted and also another one called

adenosyl cobalamine which is the active

form okay so it is active and it’s not

bad to take but it it doesn’t have the

methyl connected to it that we need in

so many genetic problems anyway I wanted

to bring up the importance of taking the

right form of B12 and avoiding the wrong

type of B12 and hopefully you’re not one

of those people who are do a lot of

these energy drinks or grains but if you

are you should probably know what diet

to be on and for that information you
