Vitamin B12 has long been identified as a crucial nutrient for human health. In particular, its critical role in the health of the nervous system is well established. Signs and symptoms of B12 deficiency can include fatigue, cognitive decline, mood changes, peripheral neuropathy, restless leg syndrome, macrocytic anemia, and hyperhomocysteinemia.
In the diet, vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal meats, which means that vegans and vegetarians are at particular risk of developing suboptimal levels. However, various stressors such as gastrointestinal disorders and pharmaceutical medications can also lead to vitamin B12 deficiency in the body. In fact, a large-scale research trial found that nearly 40% of the general population may have suboptimal serum vitamin B12 levels.
Vitamin B12 can be found in several forms, including cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin, adenosylcobalamin, and methylcobalamin. The last two forms are generally preferred for supplementation because they are the cofactor forms used in enzymatic reactions in the body. Adenosylcobalamin is the major form in cellular tissues while methylcobalamin is predominant in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Specifically, methylcobalamin has been studied to protect the brain and neurological tissues in multiple sclerosis, cognitive disease, low mood, and peripheral neuropathy. It has also been shown to normalize circadian rhythms and improve sleep parameters. Liposomal B12 from Cyto-Matrix provides methylcobalamin in a micellar liposome formulation, providing a variety of benefits over a standard B12 supplement.
Liposomal delivery systems were originally developed to optimize the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs. These same principles have now been applied to natural health ingredients. A liposome consists of a monolayer or multilayer phospholipid structure with an aqueous core. The active ingredients can be placed inside the aqueous core or in the phospholipid bilayer, where they are protected from various enzymatic and digestive processes. Ultimately, liposomes improve the bioavailability of active ingredients.
