B12

or methylcobolamine is one of the B vitamins. Unlike the other B vitamins this form of B is degraded in the stomach so most of it is destroyed when it is swallowed. The individual B12s melt in the mouth like a mint, so they can be absorbed without being degraded. They help to balance glutamate and GABA, and serve as methyl donors. They are great for energy and to fight fatigue. They have been found to help with motion sickness, obsessive compulsive behaviors, speech and language, and to calm anxiety. There are reports to suggest that B12 helps to repair and regenerate nerves.
