ADVICE

Avoid Cyanocobalamin in B12

  • Avoid cyanocobalamin, a cyanide-based synthetic form of B12, in supplements as it requires conversion in the body and may accumulate toxicity.
  • Choose hydroxycobalamin or methylcobalamin instead for immediate bioavailability and safety.
ADVICE

Avoid Synthetic Folic Acid

  • Avoid folic acid in supplements and foods as it is synthetic and many people cannot convert it to the active form.
  • Use methyl folate (5-MTHF) instead for better absorption and efficacy.
ADVICE

Plan For Gene Test Wait

  • Expect genetic methylation test results within about four weeks due to high demand.
  • Use the results to tailor supplement choices for nutrient deficiencies with your physician's guidance.
