What is the difference between B12 and cyanocobalamin
Thank you! Jul 8, 2026 I'm on week 11 and down 18
hospitalization required Maintenance of Remission: Immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-MP, methotrexate) for steroid-dependent or frequently-relapsing disease Biologic monotherapy or combination therapy (biologic + immunomodulator) for moderate-to-severe disease Step-up or top-down approach based on disease severity, patient risk factors, and prior therapy Biologic Therapy Targets: TNF-: Infliximab (IV), adalimumab (SC), certolizumab pegol (SC) IL-12/23: Ustekinumab (IV induction, SC maintenance) Integrin: Vedolizumab (IV) IL-23: Risankizumab (IV induction, SC maintenance) JAK inhibition: Upadacitinib (oral) Surgical Management Surgery is indicated in approximately 7080% of patients with Crohns disease over their lifetime, per StatPearls
It was a single in-vitro screen at 10 M (a concentration that may sit well above what a 5 mg dose produces in your tissues), so it is not proof you are taking an MAOI
Methylcobalamin is an active form ready for the body to use directly, while cyanocobalamin is highly stable and widely studied
Intuitively, it makes sense to assume that the B12 forms found naturally in food are exactly those our body needs
