Started keto with intermittent fasting 7 days ago thanks to you. My inflammation is gone. My stiff neck is gone. Sinus cleared up. No more fatigue. I can think clear. Even my dandruff is reducing. My sleep has improved. I sleep deeper, my wife noticed I don’t move or get up as much. Can’t wait to see more benefits to come. Thank you.
@@rjarora Berg mentioned it in another video but eating lots of carbohydrates can cause stiffnes in your joints and muscles, especially in the morning. For me those are also gone with LowCarb/Keto and intermittent fasting. When I do have a night of lots of carbohydrates (e.g. at a party) I immediately notice the next day how stiff everything is again. I do have psoriasis, so it might be less noticable if you are otherwise healthy.

Dr. Janine put the information out in one of her videos. I threw out my B complex vitamins, gummy multi vitamins, and Nutrisystem powdered shake packets, several weeks ago. All these had cyanocobalamin. Your info confirms it more. Thanks.
I'm gonna take the rest of mine. I usually take 3 a day but just fall back to two a day. The only reason I take them is bc they help heal my canker sores fast.
You saved my life with all this usefull info. Never been in doctors office after started watching and learning from you. Very appreciated, God bless you!
Thank you Dr Berg! Are you still doing the video on how stress can cause good bacteria in your gut to turn pathogenic and what we can do to help with this problem? Thank you in advance 👍🏽
I am a "Senior" who has had enormous benefit from switching to methylcobalimine from the cyano-version. I USED to be very diabetic with great peripheral neuropathy damage to my feet and even hands. That damage is "supposed" to be permanent but mine is virtually GONE and I have regained full sensation everywhere---NO numbness or fire-feet! Seniors tend to become unable to properly digest and absorb vitamin B-12 from lack of stomach acid, and develop a range of "ageing" conditions, especially Psoriasis. A daily "megadose" of one to two and even three milligrams of Methylcobalimine is warranted, not toxic, and do not give up until you find an Internist who agrees with that. Yes, my psoriasis is gone too!.............................elsullo
So much great information. I’ve been in the fitness industry for quite some time and have been researching and practicing holistic and natural health for myself for many years, but supplements were something I was never able to spend a lot of time researching. It’s such a rapidly changing part of medicine as we better understand human biology. I appreciate you breaking it down. You’re such a caring person to make this vital information available to everyone. Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I was researching to find out dosage of cyanocobalamin B12 for my husband. I came across your video and am so thankful I did. I am going to look for the methylcobalamin instead. We truly appreciate you putting out the truth on synthetic vitamins.
It’s so frustrating that this type of B12 is in almost everything that claims to have B12 over the counter. I got a whole food ‘supposedly’ good one without all the fillers and flow agents only to learn it was cyanocobalamin, the same is in my nutritional yeast flakes. So disappointing because I thought I was doing my body good but kept getting tummy issues and headaches from the B12 capsules. Thank you for explaining in depth Dr Berg, this is helping us get informed and know what look for on the ingredients labels.
So upset that I trusted the big name company for their vitamin B / B Complex only to find out I’ve been taking synthetic ones with cyanide!!! I threw out my last full bottle of cyanide B Vitamins tonight! Never again! 😤😫😡
Causes of vitamin B12 deficiency: • Not consuming foods high in vitamin B12 • Stomach inflammation • H. pylori • Low stomach acid • Gastric bypass • Inflammation in the intestines *Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic version of vitamin B12* (contains cyanide!) Potential side effects of cyanocobalamin: • Vomiting • Stomach problems • Low potassium • Headaches • Fever • Dizziness *The best form of vitamin B12 is the natural version called Methylcobalamin* This version is the active form of vitamin B12 and stays in the body longer than the synthetic versions. Potential benefits of methylcobalamin: • It may help improve sleep • It can decrease the need for sleep • It can help you wake up feeling alert and refreshed • It can help you fall asleep faster • It's great for the nervous system (especially the myelin sheath) • It supports healthy eyes • It increases melatonin • It decreases homocysteine • It can help regulate cortisol • It supports the red blood cells Thank you Dr Berg!😸👍
I did b12 cyano 500mcg a day and lost 40 pounds in 2 months, had 2 monts water dhiarrae, panic and anxiety everyday, fatigue and exhaustion, near faint and dizziness, depression and suicide thoughts, akasthasia, cant eat, insomnia and more. Was in hospital felt like i nearly died. When i today only supplement a little bit my body goes crazy. Now im okay again but i have crazy real and wild dreams, anxiety sometimes, tiredness and fatigue to this day 8 months later
@@JoooKeeeRxim currently going through this omg im on monthly cyano injections ! how did you fix your deficiency if you had to stop supplementing? mine is severe so i need b12 ):
if I told anyone about Methyleneblue they would ask when I started drugs. jokes aside, B12 and other vitamins helped pull me out of a depression, and I mean bad depression. I had GALLONS of urine in jugs, never left my room, wanted to die, and felt like I was going to die anyway. I'm still recovering but I finally had the energy to clean my room. I have carpet again. I have more energy and I'm not constantly sore. I've been slowly picking up my weights again, though I can feel how out of shape I am. I'm still thin but if I get to the point of sweating it feels like I'm going to pass out from heat exhaustion and my heart feels weak. I used to have a very strong heart but after years of sitting and not doing anything I'm sure something must have happened. so I try not to stress my heart too much but I'm slowly building cardio and endurance again. I don't think anyone will read this or care but it helps me write it down. it's a really big achievement for me. anyway, have a great day and stay healthy :)

Julie ~I do agree with you in staying away from eating BEEF because of too high saturated fat content, fed GMO corn, antibiotics, and growth hormone steroids. “BUT” I strongly recommend, if you can get farmed organic or especially wild bush meat like Mule Deer is better eating than Whitetail Deer, Fallow or Red Deer, Caribou, Moose (I was raised with this), Bison (Buffalo), and/or ELK. These meats are much more healthier than BEEF, with very low saturated fat (about 10% of BEEF) and organic with no chemicals added to the meat like growth hormone steroids, etc. Also another thing to consider is organic Goat meat, organic Lamb is good but a higher saturated fat content. ~Also of course when eating >>any “meat” products of any kind

Thanks Doc, I worry about my liver bc I lost a few friends to liver troubles. I checked my b-complex and it does have the cheaper B12 version. I'm tossing it in the trash today. I like water, so I never drank that colored sugar water that the conglomerates push on us. I also stopped oats and cereals and switched back to mostly just bacon and eggs. I've lost some weight by doing this.
I woould suggest that hydroxocobalamin is the best form of b12 to be used by evryone. Its easly converted to methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin in the liver and to the amount your body needs. Hydroxocobalamin is found in beef and it stays for longer time in the blood. If this information helpd you, please press like.
@@tippyhadroncollider he is just a human, he can be wrong or biased, hydroxocobalamin is a NATURAL, active form of B12, and like OP said, it's converted into both methyl and adenosylcobalamin
This is why I’m careful about vitamins now. Their more expensive but I can say with experience take tons of pills for a few days you can sometimes end up feeling worse.
Very cool info! Was curious of the REAL Reason you seemed to discourage Cyanocobalamin shots. Now we know. Yeah less Cyanide sounds better. The interaction between B12 and potassium you mention is interesting too. Thanks for explaining things few others talk about.
I’ve known this for decades which is why I’ve always chosen quality water in glass bottles over many vitamin drinks, fortified juices, etc. There are other vitamins (ie Vit C as citric acid from gmo corn, folic acid instead of folate, others we still don’t know about yet) that aren’t in their most nontoxic or useful forms added to many supplements and “foods” also. That’s why my health drastically improved after eating the cleanest and most nutrient dense whole foods I can possibly source, stopping supplement pills/powders (this space isn’t regulated and I’m personally not impressed with the items that are anyway) and using quantum upgrade and a rife machine only when needed. We’re all unique so this is just what I found to be optimal for me. Actually, my quantum upgrade subscription was a game changer.
Sad that he didn't mention that about ten percent of people are prone to _OVERMETHYLATION,_ and so taking large amounts of Methylcobalamin can lead to mental instability. I was taking large doses of it to help with my MS, but that ended up causing me to become cyclothymic (like a lighter version of Bipolar) until I realized what was happening.
I had B12 anemia, so I was prescribed a course of B12 injections. It was a little painful, but it really raised my B12 levels in the blood, and even a year later I have a good test. Food or supplements would not help here, so if you suspect a B12 deficiency, it is better to take a blood test and visit a doctor.
@@SleeplessinOC Solgar brand, sometimes one or two a day depending on how I feel. I think the bottle says one a day. When I take two, I put 12 hours between them. Remember, they are sublingual to hold under tongue until dissolved. I think that I ordered them from Vitacost online. I take them for neuropathy and nerve symptoms mostly. Important to take the version called methylcobalamin.
Thank you for the clarification. You mentioned this difference in a previous video and I checked my bottle of B12 and instantly switched to the methylcobalamin.
If that is indeed so, @@carolinelaronda4523, it is just one more proof of hundreds upon hundreds of proofs that the FDA is really a fraud & a sad joke of an establishment that wants us all to believe it exists for & is truly concerned about our health & welfare when in fact it is not & rather became -- or was from the start -- an institution that is really concerned about benefiting & protecting the wealthy & the wealthy's big businesses, corrupt politicians, & other such who/that are inclined to want power & filthy lucre. It is a massive terrible situation, for sure.
When I started taking B12 as Cyanocobalamin I felt severe dizziness, like vertigo that I'd never experienced before & I started getting headaches too. I checked my Carbon Monoxide monotor to make sure it was working right because I had similar symptoms to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Just yesterday my Endocrinologist prescribed B12 for me because my recent labs indicated that my B12 levels are on the low side due to my type 2 diabetes and the 2000mg's of Metformin I am taking daily. I just recently started taking Berberine and ACV in an effort to treat my diabetes in a natural way. Having a fatty liver with stage 3 scarring, as well as Crohn's disease makes it even more challenging. I also have included D3/K2 extract and milk thistle extract in my daily routine and am looking into VSL3 (probiotics) for my colon health. Just hope the prescribed B12 is the right one. Thanks so much Dr. Berg for valuable information. 💖
@@crh251 ...yes, thank you! I made sure to take notes and also downloaded it to my email for reference, as I do with many of Dr. Berg's videos. God Bless!
Ultimately, the most important thing is to ensure you're getting an adequate intake of vitamin B12, whether through diet or supplementation, as it plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. We must focus on meeting your B12 needs in a way that works best for you and aligns with our personal preferences.
Firstly thanks to @Dr Berg . Same with me I got Multi vitamins yesterday for my family around 100£ and today’s morning came through this video .. Will try to return it they accept the meds .. else need to fill the trash bag
Thanks for this very important information about B12. I take B12 a day so I better check the contents of the B12 I'm taking. God richly bless and protect you as you continue to educate people. 🙏🥳💖
Thanks Dr Berg. Ones a week I take a pill of B12 and folic acid, and only now I see it is written "cyanocobalamin". Never thought that a poison will be placed in a pill and I understood it is cheaper to make. So I checked and saw that eggs (which I eat a boiled one almost everyday) are rich in vitamin B12. Is this enough?
There are so many doctors on this platform pushing the cyanide version over the methyl version, and they give convincing arguments. I am switching over to methyl for now since I have developed a potassium deficiency and want to rule out the B12 as the cause. I also seem dizzy after I take my morning B12 cyano version. I am a long term dysautonomia sufferer, so when dizzy symptoms return I get nervous. And I had a DVT a year ago and I still get swelling. So I want to make sure to get my potassium back up.
Thanks so much Dr Berg for your great knowledge in health. I love your teachings and you’ve been a blessing to me and my family. I would like to learn about Scoliosis disease. God bless you !
Methyl B12 was an absolute gamechanger for me in regard to fatigue. I highly recommend getting liquid drops so you can really fine-tune your optimal dose. I found that 1200mcg/day was too much (made it impossible to fall sleep), but 450mcg/day first thing in the morning seems to be just right for me at the moment, but it's definitely a case of self-experimentation.
Hey man, I am having hands fatigue since years, my vitamin B12 levels are normal in blood test report, should I take supplements? Please reply as it would mean alot
If you're not methylating properly, methylcobalamin can be a nightmare for anxiety type symptoms even in small doses. Hydroxycobalamin does not have this effect and may work better for these people temporarily along as their liver is able to convert it.
Yes I switched it to Meth. Cobalamin. I was taking Cyanocobalamin since ages and I had some abnormal RBCs (slightly more than the normal amount) which became sickle shaped and I think I now know the reason of it. After reversing my type 2 Diabetes this is another step towards a healthier living. Thank You Dr Berg ❤❤❤

Thank you Dr Berg for this great information! I’ve had digestive issues for many years. I’ll be taking B-12 with Methylcobalamin. I hope this will help. 👍🏼😊
Just great.... seeing this video after a few days of buying vitamin B12 supplement, ran to check what type it is and lo and behold, turns out I got the cyanocobalamin type. I'm getting really frustrated with all these rules.... Don't eat this, don't eat that, oh eat this but not this type of it. Oh well, here goes the B12 in the trash. I better not see another video telling me why I shouldn't take methylcobalamin B12 too after I get that one. I'm grateful for the info even though I seem pissed.
Dr. Berg, I've been consuming the smoothies with kale , Kefir, blueberries, blackberries, and water. My right shoulder is feeling so much better. I bought some B- complex and just read it the Cyancoobalamin in it !! 😢 Gees are getting us in every direction !! This was bought at a health store!!
Thank you Dr. Berg. This is very helpful. I had my labs done recently and I'm deficient in B12. Now I know which one to purchase. My regular primary care provider only said take vitamin B12 but didn't explain. I truly appreciate your information.
Vitamin B12 5,000 mg it works i include a cup of black coffee 16oz 160mg no sugar since I'm type 2 diabetic I love coffee but my vitamin B12 was very low since July slowly getting better every morning i take both vitamin b 12 and coffee after my breakfast then I take my short acting insulin i have still low T vitamin b 12 and d3 helps testosterone levels with my carnivore diet and high protein vegan diet i switch between both .
Hydroxycobalamin is the real version of b12, it has been given as an injection for treating cyanide poisoning for many decades. The hydroxycobalamin binds to cyanide to neutralize it and become the less toxic cyanocobalamin which is generally removed in the urine, small amounts can be breathed out. If you take a lot of cyanocobalamin it displaces the real versions of b12 which must be carried by intrinsic factor in the blood, filling up all the IF so even if the liver is making more it can't be transported in the blood. Therefore taking cyanocobalamin causes b12 deficiency which increases cyanide toxicity since many fruits and grains have some level of cyanide in them which are normally detoxified by b12. Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are co-enzymes of real b12 (hydroxycobalamin), but even taking high doses of those can cause b12 deficiency because they also fill up all the intrinsic factor which is needed to transport b12 in the blood to where it's needed. If you're going to take b12 it should optimally have at least an equal part of hydroxycobalamin if you want a blend containing also methyl and adenosylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin should not be consumed by any living thing, it's a (less) toxic waste product of detoxifying cyanide.
@@BC-wj8fx Yes hydroxocobalamin, both are considered correct and are the same thing, I just have seen hydroxycobalamin more commonly used so I use that, it can also be called hydroxy b12 or hydroxo b12.

I have pernicious anemia. I will be getting vitamin B 12 injections once a month, but I would like to also take a supplement. Which vitamin B-12 or vitamin B 12 blend would you recommend?
Thanks much Doc. Had a big ol bottle of B12 made from cyanocobalamin 5000mcg now in the dumpster. My multivitamin has 24mcg methylcobalamin and will just take that a couple times a week... I can't believe cyanide is an ingredient for consumption...
When I check B12 in my practice, most are deficient. As for detox genes, hydroxocobalamin to get rid of cyanide such as in Leber's disease, and methylcobalamin for MTHFR. Also, much of the B12 in meat is fecal contamination or supplements they inject into the animal. As for your keto plan, a significant shortening of lifespan has been shown. You must differentiate complex carbs like sweet potatoes from soft drinks/refined carbs and carbs that have an excellent health profile due to fiber and other vitamin and mineral components such as whole fruit vs juices. Considering yourself an expert does not mean competence. I have treated patients following your diet for severe heart disease. The carnivore diet lead to one case of scurvy 4 years ago. I wish proper debate occurred as a lot of your nutritional facts fall apart under proper scrutiny. Whole foods are important. Grains were very healthy if little processing occurred until we began using massive amounts of pesticides and herbicides. Much of celiac disease is improperly diagnosed and is actually a reaction to glyphosate. Much of the cases appeared in 2006 and since then due to spraying grain with glyphosate to accelerate drying for rapid transfer to market. I can eat Italian (made in) wheat foods, organic but nothing from North America. There is a difference between unhealthy foods and poisoned healthy foods. Also, much of the cattle is fed this poisoned food and the pesticides and herbicides reach much higher levels in their flesh than most plant foods and a cow will eat multiple times more than we do. Same concept for mercury accumulation up the food chain in marine life. Wild game is much safer. I wish popular people like you were better informed because I would rather not believe this is malicious self-enrichment (agro-industry) such as the inventor of keto, Taubes, a journalist. He invented his diet inspired by a few studies of which the authors described him with terms close to, among other things, incompetent, dangerous, unable to understand basic scientific concepts, etc.
Jay, I totally agree with what you’re saying. Fortunately I do think Dr. Berg pushes the complex carbs more than eating strict carnivore. I don’t think he’s a fan of carnivore like Dr. Ken Berry. I think you’re right in so many ways though. We all need to be careful and make sure we are getting enough various vitamins and minerals in our diet. Thank you for your post!
With all due respect...bs! Babies (and mothers in the last trimester) are born in ketosis. No one has to be strict keto...but cycling with low carb, and addition of starchy veggies once in a while (along with fasting) is more like early man's diet...you know, what helped our brains evolve. ** My endocrinologist helped kill my thyroid. So much for education. I"ve learned more about how to fix what was left of my thyroid, how to help my sex and adrenal hormones, and now insulin from people like Dr. Berg - *who* "pushes" organic and grass-fed - and NOT my conventional doctors.
Interesting post on the B12. Thanks for explaining that. I think Berg supports keto to keep people away from grains knowing it’s full of pesticides. He also supports only grass-fed grass-finished beef and organic foods. I’m not saying he’s 100% correct on everything he posts, but maybe you need to see what he does encourage to have a better understanding of his food practices. I do agree with you on wild game. It’s just not very available for many people here in N. America.
The question is whether the Methyl version can be taken along with the cyanide version because so many B-Complex (multi-B) supplements contain the cyanide version.
Please do more cancer prevention videos Dr. Berg. I love and trust your research so much on this topic. I’ve been studying cancer for many years and there is so many different opinions about it. I’m so confused on which diet is best for prevention, a plant based diet with fasting or keto with fasting? Don’t know which would be the best option. I read Chris beat cancer books and so many people were successful at curing there cancers with a plant based diet. Also, keto has worked for many people as well. I’m just unsure which lifestyle would be best for prevention. Thanks
One of the most important things you can do is the prevention of recycling of the bile . You do this by consuming beans or psyllium husk (if your kidneys are compromised or you gave kidney disease, otherwise beans all the way ). What this preventing will do is excrete excess hormones that the liver cannot break down by the binding of the bile carrying the hormones which are fat soluble to the fiber which cannot be reabsorbed by the GI tract and thus , excreted by the large intestine via bowel movements.
~I take Jamieson Natural Sources TIMED RELEASE 1,200 mcg of B12 which is in Methylcobalamin form. Also on the bottle it says Vegetarian. ~Dr Oz recommended older people take a B12 supplement because older people do not absorb B12 well (in their digestive system).
Dr, Berg, I get 2 monthly injection of cianacobalamin for life. Told by my GP. Have been on it for couple of years. I get tingling, sleepless nights etc. Have not noticed any major boosts of energy from this injections. What do you recommend?
@Helenegardener thanks I wondered after watching Dr Berg why methycobalamin or other treatment was not suggested by my GP. Now I've got a call telling me I need to go for blood test to find out if I should continue taking cobalamin B12 injections when I was initially told it was for life. I'm now confused unsure what action to take should I go along with the dr's suggestion and was the injections ever useful all this time?
@@hacyil190I am not sure if you are still on the cyanocobalamin or if you switched to the methyl one-I wanted to ask if when getting these shots you noticed that your legs and butt got ackey and hurt and kinda like the hibby Gibbys if you know what I mean? You said something about tingling- can you describe it.? Is or was it something like a tingling vibration in your legs and feet? I would appreciate any information,.
Extremely timely information since I recently started taking cyanocobalamin. Our now bought and paid for FDA has now given the green light to glyphosate and whatever else is a profitable product so I'm staying tuned in to Dr. Berg.
Thanks Dr EB! QUESTION; Is there a significant difference or benefit between Adenosylcobalamin and Methylcobalamin? Is it just better to use B12 with L-5-MTHFR regardless of one's gene state?
LOL... I just bought a bottle of B12 while looking for B1. I couldn't find B1 at the drug store I was in. They didn't even have a space for it. I was suckered by the "Boosts Energy" claim on the bottle. Since I've been dragging for literally years I popped two B12 's in the parking lot, hoping for a magical fix to my problem. (Hey, if a little is good, a whole lot must be better, right?) About two hours later, I felt exhausted. I swear it had the opposite effect. I stuck with it, however, taking it at night. Found the B1 about a week later. After starting the B1, I began to notice a little improvement. After watching this video, I can't help but wonder if the cyanide component is actually what is bringing me down. Two pills, according to the label, equates to 40,000% of the average daily allowance. Needless to say, while Dr. Berg was speaking, I went to the cabinet and threw that bottle of B12 in the garbage. I swear! You can not trust anything you buy or anyone you buy from! I bought this from a big box drug store!
Thx thx thx. I was taking the synthetic one. Yesterday I took it at around 3pm. At night I was very ill. I was sleepy but not able to sleep. The first thing I did this morning I threw it in the bin and bought the natural one
I’m in the US and only buy the unfortified nutritional yeast. It’s lacking B12, but the fortified kind adds it, and it’s synthetic which is why I find my B12 elsewhere.
@@chomperthefirst533, yes. If they add it on the ingredients, it’s synthetic. If you don’t see B12 listed then it’s not fortified and added. The kind I get is unfortified called Foods Alive. There are other ones out there too. Braggs nutritional yeast is fortified so it has the synthetic B12 added.

Your right, I looked my B complex.. it also has 'cyanide' what a bummer, its a huge bottle 'Costco' again. Dr berg, certainly is a great lifeline.
I'm gonna take the rest of mine. I usually take 3 a day but just fall back to two a day. The only reason I take them is bc they help heal my canker sores fast.
A guy at work told me about cyanocobalamin and got me looking into it and now I avoid it in all foods and vitamins!
You saved my life with all this usefull info. Never been in doctors office after started watching and learning from you. Very appreciated, God bless you!
Never been in a doctor office wow
I’m vegan and will switch to methyl b12. Currently my B12 supplements have the cyanide synthetic! Happy to learn this!
Me too!!! I'm vegetarian and I thought my supplemt from amway is yeast based product means it'd safe but turn out its cyanocobalamin
Thank you Dr Berg! Are you still doing the video on how stress can cause good bacteria in your gut to turn pathogenic and what we can do to help with this problem? Thank you in advance 👍🏽
I am a "Senior" who has had enormous benefit from switching to methylcobalimine from the cyano-version. I USED to be very diabetic with great peripheral neuropathy damage to my feet and even hands. That damage is "supposed" to be permanent but mine is virtually GONE and I have regained full sensation everywhere---NO numbness or fire-feet! Seniors tend to become unable to properly digest and absorb vitamin B-12 from lack of stomach acid, and develop a range of "ageing" conditions, especially Psoriasis. A daily "megadose" of one to two and even three milligrams of Methylcobalimine is warranted, not toxic, and do not give up until you find an Internist who agrees with that. Yes, my psoriasis is gone too!.............................elsullo
Is there a brand of b12 you recommend? Thanks

So much great information. I’ve been in the fitness industry for quite some time and have been researching and practicing holistic and natural health for myself for many years, but supplements were something I was never able to spend a lot of time researching. It’s such a rapidly changing part of medicine as we better understand human biology. I appreciate you breaking it down. You’re such a caring person to make this vital information available to everyone. Thank you!
Thank you Dr. Berg. I was researching to find out dosage of cyanocobalamin B12 for my husband. I came across your video and am so thankful I did. I am going to look for the methylcobalamin instead. We truly appreciate you putting out the truth on synthetic vitamins.
Good morning Dr Berg.fantastic topic.I am really confused with B 12 , lucky you updated it.Have a good weekend dr Berg and your family
Good morning. Glad to share this info. Have a nice weekend!
It’s so frustrating that this type of B12 is in almost everything that claims to have B12 over the counter. I got a whole food ‘supposedly’ good one without all the fillers and flow agents only to learn it was cyanocobalamin, the same is in my nutritional yeast flakes. So disappointing because I thought I was doing my body good but kept getting tummy issues and headaches from the B12 capsules. Thank you for explaining in depth Dr Berg, this is helping us get informed and know what look for on the ingredients labels.
Same with me 😢 I thought I was taking clean vitamins, since taking them I’ve been getting headaches also.
So upset that I trusted the big name company for their vitamin B / B Complex only to find out I’ve been taking synthetic ones with cyanide!!! I threw out my last full bottle of cyanide B Vitamins tonight! Never again! 😤😫😡
Causes of vitamin B12 deficiency:
• Not consuming foods high in vitamin B12
• Stomach inflammation
• H. pylori
• Low stomach acid
• Gastric bypass
• Inflammation in the intestines
*Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic version of vitamin B12* (contains cyanide!)
Potential side effects of cyanocobalamin:
• Vomiting
• Stomach problems
• Low potassium
• Headaches
• Fever
• Dizziness
*The best form of vitamin B12 is the natural version called Methylcobalamin*
This version is the active form of vitamin B12 and stays in the body longer than the synthetic versions.
Potential benefits of methylcobalamin:
• It may help improve sleep
• It can decrease the need for sleep
• It can help you wake up feeling alert and refreshed
• It can help you fall asleep faster
• It's great for the nervous system (especially the myelin sheath)
• It supports healthy eyes
• It increases melatonin
• It decreases homocysteine
• It can help regulate cortisol
• It supports the red blood cells
Thank you Dr Berg!😸👍
I did b12 cyano 500mcg a day and lost 40 pounds in 2 months, had 2 monts water dhiarrae, panic and anxiety everyday, fatigue and exhaustion, near faint and dizziness, depression and suicide thoughts, akasthasia, cant eat, insomnia and more. Was in hospital felt like i nearly died. When i today only supplement a little bit my body goes crazy. Now im okay again but i have crazy real and wild dreams, anxiety sometimes, tiredness and fatigue to this day 8 months later

if I told anyone about Methyleneblue they would ask when I started drugs.
jokes aside, B12 and other vitamins helped pull me out of a depression, and I mean bad depression. I had GALLONS of urine in jugs, never left my room, wanted to die, and felt like I was going to die anyway.
I'm still recovering but I finally had the energy to clean my room. I have carpet again. I have more energy and I'm not constantly sore. I've been slowly picking up my weights again, though I can feel how out of shape I am. I'm still thin but if I get to the point of sweating it feels like I'm going to pass out from heat exhaustion and my heart feels weak. I used to have a very strong heart but after years of sitting and not doing anything I'm sure something must have happened. so I try not to stress my heart too much but I'm slowly building cardio and endurance again.
I don't think anyone will read this or care but it helps me write it down. it's a really big achievement for me.
anyway, have a great day and stay healthy :)

I mostly eat vegetarian but I eat fatty fish only (sardines, anchovies and salmon). I eat seafood for my B12 and added beef liver for the B12.
Julie L…. I prefer your sources. Simple & accessible. Thanks
Good sources.
Smart!
Julie ~I do agree with you in staying away from eating BEEF because of too high saturated fat content, fed GMO corn, antibiotics, and growth hormone steroids. “BUT” I strongly recommend, if you can get farmed organic or especially wild bush meat like Mule Deer is better eating than Whitetail Deer, Fallow or Red Deer, Caribou, Moose (I was raised with this), Bison (Buffalo), and/or ELK. These meats are much more healthier than BEEF, with very low saturated fat (about 10% of BEEF) and organic with no chemicals added to the meat like growth hormone steroids, etc. Also another thing to consider is organic Goat meat, organic Lamb is good but a higher saturated fat content.

I woould suggest that hydroxocobalamin is the best form of b12 to be used by evryone. Its easly converted to methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin in the liver and to the amount your body needs. Hydroxocobalamin is found in beef and it stays for longer time in the blood. If this information helpd you, please press like.
Vegans could really use this advice it could help their anemia
Are you a dr? He said no to that form.
@@tippyhadroncollider he is just a human, he can be wrong or biased, hydroxocobalamin is a NATURAL, active form of B12, and like OP said, it's converted into both methyl and adenosylcobalamin
This is why I’m careful about vitamins now. Their more expensive but I can say with experience take tons of pills for a few days you can sometimes end up feeling worse.
Very cool info! Was curious of the REAL Reason you seemed to discourage Cyanocobalamin shots. Now we know. Yeah less Cyanide sounds better. The interaction between B12 and potassium you mention is interesting too. Thanks for explaining things few others talk about.
I’ve known this for decades which is why I’ve always chosen quality water in glass bottles over many vitamin drinks, fortified juices, etc. There are other vitamins (ie Vit C as citric acid from gmo corn, folic acid instead of folate, others we still don’t know about yet) that aren’t in their most nontoxic or useful forms added to many supplements and “foods” also. That’s why my health drastically improved after eating the cleanest and most nutrient dense whole foods I can possibly source, stopping supplement pills/powders (this space isn’t regulated and I’m personally not impressed with the items that are anyway) and using quantum upgrade and a rife machine only when needed. We’re all unique so this is just what I found to be optimal for me. Actually, my quantum upgrade subscription was a game changer.
Sad that he didn't mention that about ten percent of people are prone to _OVERMETHYLATION,_ and so taking large amounts of Methylcobalamin can lead to mental instability. I was taking large doses of it to help with my MS, but that ended up causing me to become cyclothymic (like a lighter version of Bipolar) until I realized what was happening.
He mentioned it.
Everything in moderation.
You have to take b12 with b3 otherwise you get problems

I had B12 anemia, so I was prescribed a course of B12 injections. It was a little painful, but it really raised my B12 levels in the blood, and even a year later I have a good test. Food or supplements would not help here, so if you suspect a B12 deficiency, it is better to take a blood test and visit a doctor.
Sublingual B12 worked for me. Doctor while I was in hospital agreed that I could forego the injection with the sublingual pills.
@@rhondagentry2170which brand do you take and in what doses ?
@@SleeplessinOC Solgar brand, sometimes one or two a day depending on how I feel. I think the bottle says one a day. When I take two, I put 12 hours between them. Remember, they are sublingual to hold under tongue until dissolved. I think that I ordered them from Vitacost online. I take them for neuropathy and nerve symptoms mostly. Important to take the version called methylcobalamin.
@SleeplessinOC do you add methylfolate with methylcobalamin?
Thank you for the clarification. You mentioned this difference in a previous video and I checked my bottle of B12 and instantly switched to the methylcobalamin.
This video came at the right time.thanks for your efforts doctor🙏
I'm glad someone is mentioning cyanocobalamin. It's not as benign as people think.
Wish there were energy drinks that had good ingredients like methylcobalamin, nicotinic acid, etc.

I was taking the wrong B-12 almost daily. Thank you for this information. 👍
When I started taking B12 as Cyanocobalamin I felt severe dizziness, like vertigo that I'd never experienced before & I started getting headaches too. I checked my Carbon Monoxide monotor to make sure it was working right because I had similar symptoms to carbon monoxide poisoning.
I feel happy when I take the cyanocobalamin b12, haven’t tried the natural one yet..
Just yesterday my Endocrinologist prescribed B12 for me because my recent labs indicated that my B12 levels are on the low side due to my type 2 diabetes and the 2000mg's of Metformin I am taking daily.
I just recently started taking Berberine and ACV in an effort to treat my diabetes in a natural way. Having a fatty liver with stage 3 scarring, as well as Crohn's disease makes it even more challenging. I also have included D3/K2 extract and milk thistle extract in my daily routine and am looking into VSL3 (probiotics) for my colon health. Just hope the prescribed B12 is the right one. Thanks so much Dr. Berg for valuable information. 💖
Just be sure it says methylated B12 and folate on it. If it says cyanocobalamin B12 or folic acid on the label, it’s synthetic.

Thanks Dr Berg. Ones a week I take a pill of B12 and folic acid, and only now I see it is written "cyanocobalamin". Never thought that a poison will be placed in a pill and I understood it is cheaper to make.
So I checked and saw that eggs (which I eat a boiled one almost everyday) are rich in vitamin B12.
Is this enough?
Yeah, eggs are the best B12 an protein source cud they are easier to absorb then meat and have 20 less ages toxins which causes diesease and aging.
@Helenegardener all vitamins are what sensible cuz they are filled with flammables. Otherwise they wouldn't be a energy source.
There are so many doctors on this platform pushing the cyanide version over the methyl version, and they give convincing arguments. I am switching over to methyl for now since I have developed a potassium deficiency and want to rule out the B12 as the cause. I also seem dizzy after I take my morning B12 cyano version. I am a long term dysautonomia sufferer, so when dizzy symptoms return I get nervous. And I had a DVT a year ago and I still get swelling. So I want to make sure to get my potassium back up.
My favorite Doctor!
Thank you. Appreciate your support.
Good you mentioned this, I just started methylcobalamin, watching the video gives me the "Dr. Berg proof" of peace.
Thanks so much Dr Berg for your great knowledge in health. I love your teachings and you’ve been a blessing to me and my family. I would like to learn about Scoliosis disease. God bless you !
You’re a life saver! I had no idea. 2 of my b12 supps were the synthetic version
Methyl B12 was an absolute gamechanger for me in regard to fatigue. I highly recommend getting liquid drops so you can really fine-tune your optimal dose. I found that 1200mcg/day was too much (made it impossible to fall sleep), but 450mcg/day first thing in the morning seems to be just right for me at the moment, but it's definitely a case of self-experimentation.

If you're not methylating properly, methylcobalamin can be a nightmare for anxiety type symptoms even in small doses. Hydroxycobalamin does not have this effect and may work better for these people temporarily along as their liver is able to convert it.
How do you know this?

Hydroxycobalamin is the real version of b12, it has been given as an injection for treating cyanide poisoning for many decades. The hydroxycobalamin binds to cyanide to neutralize it and become the less toxic cyanocobalamin which is generally removed in the urine, small amounts can be breathed out. If you take a lot of cyanocobalamin it displaces the real versions of b12 which must be carried by intrinsic factor in the blood, filling up all the IF so even if the liver is making more it can't be transported in the blood. Therefore taking cyanocobalamin causes b12 deficiency which increases cyanide toxicity since many fruits and grains have some level of cyanide in them which are normally detoxified by b12. Methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin are co-enzymes of real b12 (hydroxycobalamin), but even taking high doses of those can cause b12 deficiency because they also fill up all the intrinsic factor which is needed to transport b12 in the blood to where it's needed. If you're going to take b12 it should optimally have at least an equal part of hydroxycobalamin if you want a blend containing also methyl and adenosylcobalamin. Cyanocobalamin should not be consumed by any living thing, it's a (less) toxic waste product of detoxifying cyanide.
You mean hydroxO

I take Nutricost B complex which is cheap and has 1000mcg of methylcobalamin B12, and 60mg of Tiamine B1 per capsule
Instantly go check my multi vitamin and yes it has this variant 🤦♂
Thanks a bunch for the information. I had no idea.
When I check B12 in my practice, most are deficient. As for detox genes, hydroxocobalamin to get rid of cyanide such as in Leber's disease, and methylcobalamin for MTHFR. Also, much of the B12 in meat is fecal contamination or supplements they inject into the animal. As for your keto plan, a significant shortening of lifespan has been shown. You must differentiate complex carbs like sweet potatoes from soft drinks/refined carbs and carbs that have an excellent health profile due to fiber and other vitamin and mineral components such as whole fruit vs juices. Considering yourself an expert does not mean competence. I have treated patients following your diet for severe heart disease. The carnivore diet lead to one case of scurvy 4 years ago. I wish proper debate occurred as a lot of your nutritional facts fall apart under proper scrutiny. Whole foods are important. Grains were very healthy if little processing occurred until we began using massive amounts of pesticides and herbicides. Much of celiac disease is improperly diagnosed and is actually a reaction to glyphosate. Much of the cases appeared in 2006 and since then due to spraying grain with glyphosate to accelerate drying for rapid transfer to market. I can eat Italian (made in) wheat foods, organic but nothing from North America. There is a difference between unhealthy foods and poisoned healthy foods. Also, much of the cattle is fed this poisoned food and the pesticides and herbicides reach much higher levels in their flesh than most plant foods and a cow will eat multiple times more than we do. Same concept for mercury accumulation up the food chain in marine life. Wild game is much safer. I wish popular people like you were better informed because I would rather not believe this is malicious self-enrichment (agro-industry) such as the inventor of keto, Taubes, a journalist. He invented his diet inspired by a few studies of which the authors described him with terms close to, among other things, incompetent, dangerous, unable to understand basic scientific concepts, etc.
Jay, I totally agree with what you’re saying. Fortunately I do think Dr. Berg pushes the complex carbs more than eating strict carnivore. I don’t think he’s a fan of carnivore like Dr. Ken Berry. I think you’re right in so many ways though. We all need to be careful and make sure we are getting enough various vitamins and minerals in our diet. Thank you for your post!
With all due respect...bs! Babies (and mothers in the last trimester) are born in ketosis. No one has to be strict keto...but cycling with low carb, and addition of starchy veggies once in a while (along with fasting) is more like early man's diet...you know, what helped our brains evolve. ** My endocrinologist helped kill my thyroid. So much for education. I"ve learned more about how to fix what was left of my thyroid, how to help my sex and adrenal hormones, and now insulin from people like Dr. Berg - *who* "pushes" organic and grass-fed - and NOT my conventional doctors.

@@crh251 ~Look at my post above ☝️.
Interesting post on the B12. Thanks for explaining that. I think Berg supports keto to keep people away from grains knowing it’s full of pesticides. He also supports only grass-fed grass-finished beef and organic foods. I’m not saying he’s 100% correct on everything he posts, but maybe you need to see what he does encourage to have a better understanding of his food practices. I do agree with you on wild game. It’s just not very available for many people here in N. America.
Many articles attempting to refute this - calling it safe… go figure
The question is whether the Methyl version can be taken along with the cyanide version because so many B-Complex (multi-B) supplements contain the cyanide version.
Thank you Doc, not fully understand but I will go over the video again until 😊😊
Thank you much for this video. How much should the average person take daily & can you take too much B12?
I love the details!
Please do more cancer prevention videos Dr. Berg. I love and trust your research so much on this topic. I’ve been studying cancer for many years and there is so many different opinions about it. I’m so confused on which diet is best for prevention, a plant based diet with fasting or keto with fasting? Don’t know which would be the best option. I read Chris beat cancer books and so many people were successful at curing there cancers with a plant based diet. Also, keto has worked for many people as well. I’m just unsure which lifestyle would be
best for prevention. Thanks
One of the most important things you can do is the prevention of recycling of the bile . You do this by consuming beans or psyllium husk (if your kidneys are compromised or you gave kidney disease, otherwise beans all the way ). What this preventing will do is excrete excess hormones that the liver cannot break down by the binding of the bile carrying the hormones which are fat soluble to the fiber which cannot be reabsorbed by the GI tract and thus , excreted by the large intestine via bowel movements.

Hi there. Thanks for your trust and support.
3:24 and 5:49 What about vegan b12 supplements? They often got a combination of methylcobalamin, hydroxocobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.
Hello. If they are from synthetic sources then you should avoid them.
~I take Jamieson Natural Sources TIMED RELEASE 1,200 mcg of B12 which is in Methylcobalamin form. Also on the bottle it says Vegetarian.
~Dr Oz recommended older people take a B12 supplement because older people do not absorb B12 well (in their digestive system).
Dr, Berg, I get 2 monthly injection of cianacobalamin for life. Told by my GP. Have been on it for couple of years. I get tingling, sleepless nights etc. Have not noticed any major boosts of energy from this injections. What do you recommend?
@Helenegardener thanks I wondered after watching Dr Berg why methycobalamin or other treatment was not suggested by my GP. Now I've got a call telling me I need to go for blood test to find out if I should continue taking cobalamin B12 injections when I was initially told it was for life. I'm now confused unsure what action to take should I go along with the dr's suggestion and was the injections ever useful all this time?
@@hacyil190I am not sure if you are still on the cyanocobalamin or if you switched to the methyl one-I wanted to ask if when getting these shots you noticed that your legs and butt got ackey and hurt and kinda like the hibby Gibbys if you know what I mean? You said something about tingling- can you describe it.? Is or was it something like a tingling vibration in your legs and feet? I would appreciate any information,.
Extremely timely information since I recently started taking cyanocobalamin. Our now bought and paid for FDA has now given the green light to glyphosate and whatever else is a profitable product so I'm staying tuned in to Dr. Berg.
Thanks Dr EB! QUESTION; Is there a significant difference or benefit between Adenosylcobalamin and Methylcobalamin? Is it just better to use B12 with L-5-MTHFR regardless of one's gene state?
Thank you so much. Again, I appreciate everything you do and your selflessness. You've helped so many by me sharing your videos. You are awesome man!
LOL... I just bought a bottle of B12 while looking for B1. I couldn't find B1 at the drug store I was in. They didn't even have a space for it. I was suckered by the "Boosts Energy" claim on the bottle. Since I've been dragging for literally years I popped two B12 's in the parking lot, hoping for a magical fix to my problem. (Hey, if a little is good, a whole lot must be better, right?)
About two hours later, I felt exhausted. I swear it had the opposite effect. I stuck with it, however, taking it at night. Found the B1 about a week later. After starting the B1, I began to notice a little improvement. After watching this video, I can't help but wonder if the cyanide component is actually what is bringing me down. Two pills, according to the label, equates to 40,000% of the average daily allowance. Needless to say, while Dr. Berg was speaking, I went to the cabinet and threw that bottle of B12 in the garbage.
I swear! You can not trust anything you buy or anyone you buy from! I bought this from a big box drug store!
Thx thx thx. I was taking the synthetic one. Yesterday I took it at around 3pm. At night I was very ill. I was sleepy but not able to sleep. The first thing I did this morning I threw it in the bin and bought the natural one
Natures Way Alive! Men's 50+ Ultra Potency daily vitamin provides a mega-dose of methylcobalamin. I also take methylfolate from Jarrow as well.
Thank you for that information
Glad to know that you liked this post!

Why do they put cyanide in things anyway? What's the purpose?
why do they put aspartame in half the crap on the shelves ? Population control . Hilarious isn't it ?
Depopulation
Most nutritional yeast here is fortified and I do not think that it is even labelled.
I’m in the US and only buy the unfortified nutritional yeast. It’s lacking B12, but the fortified kind adds it, and it’s synthetic which is why I find my B12 elsewhere.
@@crh251 Thanks - good to know. Can I assume if B12 is not listed that it is natural?
@@chomperthefirst533, yes. If they add it on the ingredients, it’s synthetic. If you don’t see B12 listed then it’s not fortified and added. The kind I get is unfortified called Foods Alive. There are other ones out there too. Braggs nutritional yeast is fortified so it has the synthetic B12 added.
@@crh251 Thanks CV!
