Please point it out to me:
A more recent article on B12 left me unsettled about the best form of B12:
See: https://www.nature.com/articles/ejcn2014165
So until I have a more definitive information, I will recommend a combination of different forms (methyl/hydroxy).
Remember: I reserve the right to change my opinion about drugs (supplements). The data these standard approaches is aways changing and filled with biases. However, I will never change my conclusions on a starch-based diet being the best for people.
