Protects the brain and nervous system
• Prevents nerve degeneration
• Heals nerve cells
• Improves sleep quality and mentalfunction
• Helps patients with neurologicaldisorders

A vitamin for your brain and nerves
Methylcobalamin is the active form of vitamin B12. It is effective in protecting brain and nerve cells against toxins and a wide range of hostile environmental situations.

A wide range of neurological benefits
Methylcobalamin is helpful for many neurological disorders. For example, it can mend nervous function in patients with multiple schlerosis, improve neurological symptoms in Alzheimer's disease and prevent nerve damage in glaucoma patients. It can also reduce pain in people with degenerative spinal conditions and normalize the circadian rhythm to improve sleep and mental function.

Get the right vitamin
Regular B12 supplements do not provide these neuroprotective benefits. Methylcobalamin provides access to a nutrient that is essential for the function and healing of the nervous system.

Methylcobalamin is the coenzyme form of vitamin B12 which supports the healthy structure and function of the nerves and brain. Several studies have found that people can have neurological signs and symptoms of a specific Methylcobalamin deficiency, even when serum B12, and blood tests which measure adenosylcobalamin acitivity, are perfectly normal. While healthy people need just a tiny trace of Methylcobalamin to avoid a frank deficiency, a massive body of evidence powerfully supports the conclusion that supplementing with megadose levels of Methylcobalamin - and not regular B12
-can protect brain and nerve cells against toxins, help the healing of damaged neurons, and even provide powerful nutritional support in neurodegenerative diseases.

Shielding the Brain and Nerves
In animal and test-tube studies, Methylcobalamin has been shown to protect nerve cells against a wide variety of hostile environmental situations, including lack of vital cellular fuel, thiamine deficiency (which normally causes degeneration of the nervous system), oxygen starvation, and exposure to toxins.

Paralyzing Viruses
Several groups of scientists have investigated the use of Methylcobalamin in Bell's palsy, and they have uniformly found that Methylcobalamin speeds the recovery of normal nerve function. In two separate human trials, patients required a significantly shorter time for complete recovery when they took Methylcobalamin, whether alone or in combination with prednisone (a steroid anti-inflammatory drug commonly used to treat Bell's palsy) compared to those who took only the steroid drug.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
A pilot trial of six people with degenerating MS found a significant improvement in nerve function while patients took Methylcobalamin. Before Methylcobalamin, about one fifth of all measurements of nerve function suggested that the nerves were degenerating. While the patients were supplementing with Methylcobalamin, however, only half as many nerve measurements showed signs of degeneration, and there were four-and-a-half times as many nerve readings that showed signs of improvement.

Lou Gehrig's Disease
Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease who took megadoses of Methylcobalamin experienced increases in measurements of their nerves' ability to trigger responses in the muscles. Two patients' gaits were also noted to improve.

Alzheimer's Disease
Two trials have between them found that giving Methylcobalamin to people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (like Pick's disease) leads patients to have better interaction with other people and with the world around them, while improving mood and relieving neurological symptoms. The evaluation by the patients' familes and physicians was also improved.

Caramelized Nerves
A string of clinical trials have reported that Methylcobalamin improves nerve function in people with diabetic neuropathy as demonstrated by things like improvements in the ability to detect gentle vibration, reduced tingling, numbness, and pain in the extremities, less feelings of "heaviness" in the legs, and the restoration of neurons' ability to efficiently transmit a signal and to properly regulate the heartbeat. Trials which have looked at the overall improvement of patients' neuropathic symptoms and signs have also reported remarkably positive results.

Other Benefits
Other studies have found that Methylcobalamin has benefits for patients with glaucoma and lumbar spinal stenosis. Methylcobalamin has also been shown to put people back on track with their circadian rhythms, likely because it makes the part of the brain which adjusts the body's internal clock more sensitive to light, which in turn brings the body's release of melatonin (the sleep hormone) back in line with the cycle of the day.
