The neat thing is that B-12 absorption from food depends in part on existing B-12 stores, so cyancocabalamin intake will promote the uptake of natural forms like adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin from foodstuffs over time.

thanks larry, that is good info... i did not know that you could take gram-sized doses of B12, though... are you sure you are not thinking of milligram-sized doses (i.e. 1000mcg)? my current intake is at 3mg (3000mcg) of cyanocobabalamin, and 5mg (5000mcg) of methylcobalamin, and i notice a rather significant difference with the addition of methylcobalimin not obtained by raising doses of cyanocobalamin. i have a pretty good intake of glutathione as well as n-acetyl-cysteine (1000mg and 600mg respectively) above and beyond that obtained in my (though otherwise very nutrient-dense) anorexic diet... ugh, ana sucks, why can`t it by just a female disease like everyone seems to think any way?!not that i wish it on anyone, i just wish it off of me.
