Methylcobalamin is the coenzyme form of Vitamin B12, which is a biologically active form that no longer requires conversion. It is absorbed instantly and completely by the body. Other forms of Vitamin B12, such as cyanocobalamin, undergo metabolism in the liver. This process is often inefficient in the body. Methylcobalamin is the only neuroactive form of Vitamin B12 that accumulates more extensively in nerve tissue compared to its homologues. Its action is 130-150 times greater than that of cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin is characterized by high biological activity. It participates in the transfer of methyl groups and enzymes, ensuring the synthesis of deoxyribose, DNA, and RNA. Methylcobalamin activates the enzyme methionine synthase, which ensures the breakdown of homocysteine to methionine. It also aids in the synthesis of creatine. Methylcobalamin ensures the formation of the myelin sheath, strengthens the growth and regeneration of nerve cells. It participates in the synthesis of the lipotropic factor - choline. Methylcobalamin has a nootropic effect, preventing the degradation of brain cells. Methylcobalamin is essential for blood formation. It aids in the maturation of erythrocytes. It participates in the synthesis of compounds containing sulfhydryl groups accumulated in erythrocytes, which increases their tolerance to hemolysis. Methylcobalamin activates the blood coagulation system, and in high doses, increases prothrombin and thromboplastic activity. It reduces cholesterol levels in the blood. It has a positive effect on liver function. It increases tissue regeneration capacity. It has an anabolic effect, increasing physical performance. Solgar Methylcobalamin sublingual granules are instantly absorbed into the bloodstream. Solgar Methylcobalamin is suitable for vegetarians, which is very important, as the body's replenishment of this vitamin occurs only from animal food.
