There are 4 different forms of vitamin B-12 that can be found in foods and supplements. These forms must be converted into methlycobalamin to be useful to the body this conversion can become problematic for those with an MTHFR gene mutation. Taking methylcobalamin is desirable for those who have this MTHFR mutation, which is estimated to be about 30% of the population.Vitamin B-12 is solely found in animal foods so low levels can be a risk for vegans and vegetarians.
