What is the difference between methylmalonic acid and methionine?

Q. The question is about Vitamin B12 deficiency

A. Methionine is an essential amino acids present in humans. Methylmalonic acid is a is a dicarboxylic acid.

The coenzyme A linked form of methylmalonic acid, methylmalonyl-CoA, is converted into succinyl-CoA by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, in a reaction that requires vitamin B12 as a cofactor. In this way, it enters the Krebs cycle, and is thus part of one of the anaplerotic reactions.


If vegans ate meat would they have to take B12 supplements?
Q. Vitamin B12 is found in meat. If vegans ate meat they wouldn't have to take B12 supplements, would they? That proves being vegan is wrong and not natural. Vitamin B12 deficiency is common among vegans.
Pet, don't lie. You know that vitamin B12 deficiency is common among vegans.

A. For the most part you are correct. But having a vitamin B 12 deficiency is not just overcome by eating meat one or twice. The B 12 does not stay in the system because it is depleted by so many different things. Everything from smoking, drinking to taking drugs the doctor provides depletes you B 12.


Are food companies required to provide vitamin content on packaging?
Q. I have a Vitamin B12 deficiency and read that Clams have a very high B12 content, however, the package of clams I got from the grocery store did not list B12 among its nutritional content. Does this mean that there isn't any B12 or did they just not list it?

A. A lot of packaged and processed foods are depleted of thier natural vitamins and nutrients.
I saw cheese once with zero protein percent! zero....

that was insane to me.

Most foods do not have to put every detail in them or are not reviewed by the fda.

B12 you can get from cow meat, if you are a vegetarian you can take a B complex supplement in pill form. or b-12 pills. I even need extra b vitamins even though I eat lots of food because I ama bodybuilder.

So to answer you sadly no not requiered, some even lie whats in there and more sodium and preservatives than mentioned.

I bought herring once in a plastic pack and it was so discustingly salty I had to spit it out.

take your multivitamin with food and a b 12 vitamin alone.
hope this helps.

all you can do is find a fresh source of clams at a market and see if it gives you more enrey but you can't live on clams.


Is it safe to take vitamin B12, super B-complex, and a multi vitamin?
Q. I've always had a vitamin B12 deficiency, so I've been taking 2500mgc daily.
Recently I have changed to being a vegetarian and need more B vitamins, so I wanna take a super b-complex vitamin, as well as a multi vitamin to provide calcium.

Is it okay to take too much b-vitamins? Since all 3 vitamins have b vitamins?

A. NO!!!!! Being a gullible sucker & wasting money on scams is NEVER "safe".
