Forms of B12 supplements available include: Cyanocobalamin : The most common and cost-effective form in over-the-counter supplements Methylcobalamin : A naturally occurring form, often marketed as superior though evidence for clinical advantage is limited Hydroxocobalamin : The preferred form for intramuscular injection in the UK, used therapeutically for pernicious anaemia and confirmed deficiency [4] Dosing considerations depend on the indication
