Vet Grade B-12

[OverR8DNatty]

Anybody with experience? I recently came across this and found it very interesting. I have read people who have taken it with great success, one guy even claiming it made him feel better then HG B-12. Guess you don't need a perscribtion for it too.

This is interesting to me because I know people who pack deep into mountains use fish antibiotics to treat any concerns they encounter along the way.

B-12 is b-12... How exactly would vet grade feel better then human grade? It's the same stuff

Fish antibiotics are the SAME as the stuff your doc gives you, i remember a while ago a guy was telling me how he just buys fish antibiotics and uses them instead of going to the doc. It's just labeled "not for human use".

There are a few threads that deal with both.

B12 is B12 the "grade" really refers to sterility/solvents ect.
I don't see why anyone would use "vet" grade anything when human grade equivalents are readily available.. Unless of course someone just happen to be so much of a beast he happen to go to the vet instead of the doctor.

... To my understanding:

There are three forms of B-12 available.

- Cyanocobalamin
- Hydroxycobalamin
- Methylcobalamin


The prefixes cyno, hydro, and methyl refer to the delivery method the cobalt (B12) is attached, allowing the element to pass through and allow methylation in the liver, converting the element cobalt into its vitamin form. Of these three forms, cyanocobalamin is considered the lowest grade. It is possible that, as the liver breaks down the cobalt and separates it from the cyano agent, the liver "may" convert the agent into a form of cyanide and possibly causing the liver to stop and control the toxicity first, disregarding the cobalt and it's methylation into B-12, or at least a loss of efficiency in its translation to B-12.

If true, this leaves methyl and hydroxy forms. The most "natural" would be Methylcobalamin, as this is closest to the liver's methylation process. However, I've read one doctor favored Hydroxycobalamin to allow the liver to methylate in a way most natural to that individual.

My explanation is rudimentary. If someone knows more on methylation in the liver and cobalt forms, please offer more insight. Would like to know more myself on this.
