For those with neurological issues (neuropathy, cognitive decline), methylcobalamin may offer added benefit despite higher cost."
For those who have had bariatric surgery or who have had a part of their stomach removed for another reason, they have to replace the B12 that the missing lining of their stomach used to produce. That B12 has to be introduced directly into the bloodstream - either as an injection, a nasal spray into the soft tissue, or dissolved sublingually under the tongue. This is because the body is not expecting that form of B12 to just show up inside the stomach with eaten food and require to be extracted via digestion.
For those people, the synthetic cyanocobalamin version is a much better solution, as it is specifically designed for this delivery method, and because the body will convert it into the active forms of methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Just popping a methylcobalamin pill introduces inefficiency, and the body cannot convert that to adenosylcobalamin (the -other- form of B12 that the stomach lining produces).
So for -you-, a methyocobalamin pill that you swallow may be better if you're just looking for a pick-me-up or a "rush". For someone like -me-, for whom a B12 supplement is a medical necessity, or for someone who wants to take a form that is more directly and efficiently processed giving better bang for the buck, a cyanocobalamin pill taken sublingually is better.
