this B12 supplement has 2 forms of vitamin B12 adequate for our 2 metabolic pathways

Most B12 supplements do not provide a form of vitamin B12 that can be used by both of our 2 metabolic pathways which require B12. Many people buy B12 are not getting a benefit because they are not buying the proper form of B12. There are cyano-cobalamin, methyl-cobalamin, Adenosyl-cobalamin etc. The below-linked B12 supplement has 2 forms of vitamin B12 adequate to supply our 2 separate metabolic pathways. Why Not Natural brand Vitamin B12 5000 mcg Supplement with Methyl-cobalamin, Adenosyl-cobalamin and Hydroxy B12 Complex. The human body cannot convert between the 2. There is a B12 form that the human body can use for both metabolic pathways, but I do not remember which it is as methylcobalamin, Adenosylcobalamin are adequate. I'll look for the Youtube video that explains this in more detail and link it here if I find it.

Found these videos while searching for what I think is the best B12 detailed overview video on Youtube.

This video suggests different forms for different goals and needs, including a story about a vegan mother permanently damaging her baby by taking a low cost multi-vitamin with only 1 type of B12.

A few more that caught my eye while searching.

I have failed to find the B12 video that I watched and thought was best in this context.

Some say that supplementing B12 is not advisable for those with cancer according to scholarly articles, but the scholarl;y article is not referenced and I have not encountered any.

I write this here after reading a scholarly article that tangentially demonstrated an association between better cancer outcomes and adequate B12. The B12 association demonstrates less correlation with better cancer fighting and outcomes than 120 ng/ml vitamin 1,25 hydroxy D3, but a significant correlation. Keep in mind that hundreds if not thousands of scholarly articles regarding cancer topics tangentially indicated higher than average levels of 1,25 hydroxy D3 are statistically corelated with better cancer outcomes. This is all we seem to get for cancer fighting molecules that cannot generate high profit margins. Our governments are supposed to do these studies for profit big pharma will not do, but our governments do not fund these either.
