Making B12 Living

Date: August 01, 2010 04:57PM I recently bought a bottle of liquid B vitamins, which has a very high dose of B12. I decided to try adding it to the soak water for lentil sprouts. I do you think this will make the b12 more effective? Or do you think the lentils will break it down into something else?  Re: Making B12 Living

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Its a cheap form of b12, cyanocobolmin, I don't think I spelled it correctly. Its supposed to have cyanide in it? I thought that there was some question of toxicity. I was hoping that somehow the little sprouts might detoxify it in some way. I have been gone away all day, but the last time I checked the progress, it appears that the sprouting has been inhibited. I was actually worried that they might not sprout at all! Just looked at them, they are sprouting fine. I thought it was supposed to be better if the vitamins were part of something alive? Re: Making B12 Living

Date: August 05, 2010 10:21AM I heard that small trace amounts of Cyanide (found in some food sources)are supposed to possibly have some cancer fighting properties... dont get me wrong here, im not saying they DO, I have no idea, I just heard something about that recently and have not read any kind of studies or anything to back that up... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, mirror in the sky What is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Re: Making B12 Living

Date: August 05, 2010 12:53PM The inert cyanide found in things like apricot pits and bitter almonds is not a toxic form under normal conditions.
Cyanocabalamin is the natural form of B12 found in foods. It does not produce toxic amounts of cyanide in breakdown. Methylcobalamin is just the most easily uptaken supplement form, so that's what I would stick to  Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
