Hi,

Common FORM: Vitamin B12 also called Cyanocobalamin, is needed to
prevent anemia. It aids folic acid in regulating the formation of red
blood cells,  and helps in the utilization of iron. This vitamin is
also required for proper digestion, absorption of foods,  the
synthesis of protein, and the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. It
aids in cell formation and cellular longevity. In addition, vitamin
B12 prevents nerve damage, maintains fertility, and promotes normal
growth  and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths that cover
and  protect nerve endings. Vitamin B12 is linked to the production of
acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that  assists memory and learning.

================

 	Methylcobalamin is the only form of vitamin B12 found in the brain.
The liver is unable to convert the common form of B12, cyanocobalamin,
into an ample supply of methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin supports a
healthy brain and spinal cord. Pro Health's Neuro B-12 sublingual
delivery system ensures optimal absorption and maximum benefits.
