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.
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 ):
Good morning Dr Berg and all who watch your videos. Dr Berg you are a gem a limited edition, when you school us on our health.... May God bless you and your family...a true fan from New York!!
@@Drberg The irony of clicking this video today, I just ordered Methylene Blue & it arrives today - I had also watched one of your videos covering it this past week as I was gathering information. I'm starting very slow 1 drop a day and slowly moving up if there's no reactions. Thanks for your info on it. (The multi I take uses Methylcob. ) 👍🏼
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
@@doomguy2532 no need to wonder why. It’s just big Pharma making products that aren’t very good and then they market it to all of the local shops that we would go and buy it. Big Pharma has their hand in everything and they’re not willing to educate anybody like this wonderful gentleman is.
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!
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.
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.
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
@@royjohnson465 Very interesting Roy. Thanks for all the information. And I had no idea about ‘hot’ beverages when consuming meat. & again thank you very much ! I trust your word ♥️
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 :)

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! 😤😫😡
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 ❤❤❤
@@sthekidd1093 I stopped taking my high blood medication following Dr. Eric's advice. A simple banana a day, lots of water, cut out sugar. My pressure is normal. I can't believe it. I was so excited.

@@sparkle3000 they know only one form of conventional "treatment" that is pushed, most of them don't have the time to do research or even check.. it's like with the vaccines..
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.
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?
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 it is so minimal, even if all you did was take these pills all day, you wouldn't even come close.. upsetting to see how sensationalized this topic is.
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. 👍🏼😊
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?
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 !
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.
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. 🙏🥳💖
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
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!!
Tired of all these synthetics. They really don’t teach you in school they are not chemically identical to the natural forms and the drawbacks in taking them. The lack of information and the stupidity is off the roof, and this is called “advancement?” (!) (!) This information is gold.
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.
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...
Just read the label on my liquid B12 is from BASIC GREENS COMPANY it s the correct one. 🧡🤦🏽♀️ when ya pay $22. A bottle and aren’t sure until a Dr. Berg video 😆✊🏽 Have a good Weekend everyone 🥒💦🐝🐞
~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,.
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!
I recently started supplementing with methylcobalamin injections, and I accidentally took too much and started getting really painful, long lasting acne on my face. It turns out vitamin B12 and B6 can feed a specific type of bacteria on the face that will yield this type of acne. I had to get a steroid injection at the dermatologist on each of the pimples, because they were so painful and long lasting. Also, I had been trying to treat severe anemia during this time. And although my iron infusion was more trouble than it was worth as my iron/ ferritin levels started to decrease back to the previous low state within weeks of the infusion my hemoglobin rose to a normal healthy level of 12 from 10 because of the B12 injections.
Yes and it can take years for some to get their skin back to normal. I took only 1 Methyl B12 shot and got acne. I stick to oral b12 and only hydroxy which I take in large doses with no acne problems
Use olive oil on you're skin and drink it on an empty stomach in the morning. It will help you're skin by drinking it and there's a lot of other benefits it's an antioxidant antibacterial so its good for the body and skin issues.
I remember this happened to me years ago and I brought it up to my doctor and asked if I should stop the injections because the cystic acne was scarring me and she said it was just a coincidence I got it at the same time I started B12, what do you know eventually I stopped injections and within a month it stopped, the doctor made me sound crazy for saying there may be a link.
Hello, I have malabsortion and the Dr gives me this synthetic b12 . I cannot just go and have a blood test for these DNA things, because of the NHS so how would I know if I need the methylcobalamin? Or am I better off taking it anyway, that's if I can get it ? Thanks for any advice xx
Another avenue to consider is if there’s other dietary reasons why absorption is an issue. Try switching types and see how that effects the next test. Govt management of critical services is wrought with problems (South Africa power grid comes to mind) from skimming
@@KeemieKEZ I did think that but I was hoping someone else could tell me if it's better to just take the methylcobalamin, anyway or just stick with the one the Dr gives me ???

A guy at work told me about cyanocobalamin and got me looking into it and now I avoid it in all foods and vitamins!
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

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

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.

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.
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 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.
~Also of course when eating >>any “meat” products of any kind

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
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 :)

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! 😤😫😡

Good morning. Glad to share this info. Have a nice weekend!
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?
Wish there were energy drinks that had good ingredients like methylcobalamin, nicotinic acid, etc.

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
And I just checked the ingredient information of my multivitamin tablet and B12 is in the form of Cyanocobalamin 🤢🤮
I felt sick taking my b12 multivitamin and read the label: cyanocobalamin. After seeing this I did aditional research and will not take them anymore.

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.
Dr. Berg, you are my go-to resource for most meds. Thank you for all you do to inform us so we can live longer and healthier. Thank God for you.
Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Very helpful information. Have a good weekend dr Berg and his team
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.
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..
This video came at the right time.thanks for your efforts doctor🙏
my mother fed me lambs fry; I now know why and eat it once a week - for the B12.
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.
Thanks for giving the information to make conscious decisions about our health.
I feel like humanity is in the dark ages and Dr. Berg is the one who enlightens us all.
I was taking the wrong B-12 almost daily. Thank you for this information. 👍
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.
Good you mentioned this, I just started methylcobalamin, watching the video gives me the "Dr. Berg proof" of peace.
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.

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.
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
@@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.

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.

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.
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
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.

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.

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,.
Where do you people get methylcobalamin?
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
I love the details!
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!
Oh man, I just bought the B-Complex and it also has Cyanocobalamin. Was not cheap, but guess have to trash it now...
Try taking it back to where you got it from and ask for a refund because it makes you feel sick. Or for an exchange. Can't hurt to try.
I recently started supplementing with methylcobalamin injections, and I accidentally took too much and started getting really painful, long lasting acne on my face. It turns out vitamin B12 and B6 can feed a specific type of bacteria on the face that will yield this type of acne. I had to get a steroid injection at the dermatologist on each of the pimples, because they were so painful and long lasting. Also, I had been trying to treat severe anemia during this time. And although my iron infusion was more trouble than it was worth as my iron/ ferritin levels started to decrease back to the previous low state within weeks of the infusion my hemoglobin rose to a normal healthy level of 12 from 10 because of the B12 injections.
Yes and it can take years for some to get their skin back to normal. I took only 1 Methyl B12 shot and got acne. I stick to oral b12 and only hydroxy which I take in large doses with no acne problems
Use olive oil on you're skin and drink it on an empty stomach in the morning. It will help you're skin by drinking it and there's a lot of other benefits it's an antioxidant antibacterial so its good for the body and skin issues.
You solved my acne mystery thank you.
I remember this happened to me years ago and I brought it up to my doctor and asked if I should stop the injections because the cystic acne was scarring me and she said it was just a coincidence I got it at the same time I started B12, what do you know eventually I stopped injections and within a month it stopped, the doctor made me sound crazy for saying there may be a link.
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!
Natures Way Alive! Men's 50+ Ultra Potency daily vitamin provides a mega-dose of methylcobalamin. I also take methylfolate from Jarrow as well.
God Bless you Dr Eric. Thank you so much for your advise on B12.
Hello, I have malabsortion and the Dr gives me this synthetic b12 . I cannot just go and have a blood test for these DNA things, because of the NHS so how would I know if I need the methylcobalamin? Or am I better off taking it anyway, that's if I can get it ? Thanks for any advice xx
Get a second opinion. Dr. Berg isn’t going to reply here.
Another avenue to consider is if there’s other dietary reasons why absorption is an issue. Try switching types and see how that effects the next test. Govt management of critical services is wrought with problems (South Africa power grid comes to mind) from skimming
@@KeemieKEZ I did think that but I was hoping someone else could tell me if it's better to just take the methylcobalamin, anyway or just stick with the one the Dr gives me ??? Here in England we are unable to go to a higher up Dr for test etc, unless ones own Dr refers you, but it's difficult getting to the Dr for anything here where I live in Yorkshire. But thank you for your reply 😊
@@seattlesix9953 I never ate meat so my iron count is low, however I have been trying to eat beef (not a vegetarian just don't like the taste of meat) maybe once a week but only a couple of mouthfuls lol. Oh yes I know what you meant about the Govt. Have you heard of Shilijyt ? I've been taking this and I must say overall I do feel better 😌
@@julieswales7671 consider desiccated beef liver in pill form. A year ago this month I decided to take control of my health and wound up losing 30 pounds and put my type two diabetes in remission. There were so many other benefits that my doctor was amazed. I still go to the doctor for the blood test, but I take everything recommended with a grain of salt now. Nutrition doesn’t seem to be their forte
Acv is the best b12 because its boosts my energy way better than b12
