Aspen Pure B12 Injection – $15

B12 – Methylcobalamin 5000 mcg

Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient for the body and is needed to protect DNA and RNA, support energy, protect nerve and brain cells, stimulate serotonin production, contribute to red blood cell formation, support immune function, and maintain a positive mood.

There are two forms of vitamin B12 that you’re likely to come across – methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin. Cyanocobalamin is the most commonly supplemented form of vitamin B12 and is chemically synthesized. Methylcobalamin is found in animal-based foods and is therefore obviously naturally occurring.
What’s the difference between methylcobalamin and cyanocobalamin? Methylcobalamin has a methyl group (just carbon and hydrogen) while cyanocobalamin contains a cyanide molecule. Although the amount of cyanide in a normal B12 supplement is too small to be harmful, your body will still need to remove and eliminate this compound. As it has no use for the cyano-compound itself, it will set about
converting any cyanocobalamin you take into methylcobalamin as soon as possible – it’s the methyl-compound that the human body needs to function properly.

What makes methylcobalamin superior?

Methylcobalamin the most bio-available form of Vitamin B12, i.e. it is the most readily absorbed and it remains in the body for a longer period of time and at higher levels than cyanocobalamin, which means that your body is supplied with vitamin B12 for longer if you use methylcobalamin than if you use cyanocobalamin. Methylcobalamin is used primarily in your liver, brain and nervous system, in fact methylcobalamin is the specific form of B12 needed for nervous system health.

BENEFITS:

Improved metabolism/ weight loss efforts: B12 helps in metabolizing fats and protein which in turn helps boost your metabolism and increases weight loss. Proper utilization of fat, protein, and carbohydrate intake can also help with appetite control.

Increased energy: The body needs B12 to create energy, which creates a boost in energy, mental clarity and focus, and improved mood. Vitamin B12 can treat anemia, help with the production of creatine, which is beneficial for building muscle mass and reducing muscle weakness.

Better Sleep: Research indicates that methylcobalamin can modulate melatonin secretion, enhance light-sensitivity, and normalize circadian rhythm (your body’s 24-hour clock). Because of this, individuals supplementing this form of B12 often report improved quality of sleep, often will require slightly less sleep, and will not uncommonly report that they feel a bit more refreshed when waking in the morning.

Heart Help: One of the primary reactions of methylcobalamin in the body is to convert homocysteine to methionine – high homocysteine levels are undesirable and known to be an in

dicator of heart disease and stroke risk due to the fact free homocysteine in the blood causes sclerosis of the arteries, putting strain on the vascular system and the heart.

Detox: The conversion of homocysteine to methionine reduces the potential for damage because the reaction results in the formation of the super-antioxidant glutathione. Glutathione is the body’s master detoxifier and the body’s main antioxidant, protecting our cells from damage.

The Aspen Pure B12 Injection is recommend for weekly doses.
