Treatment of methylcobalamin deficiency with ordinary B12 requires 200 times the recommended daily allowance.
Methylcobalamin is the active form of the vitamin B12. People can be deficient in methylcobalamin due to malabsorption of vitamin B12, sometimes an age-related problem when less gastric acid is produced. Vegans and those on macrobiotic diets are sometimes deficient too. Methylcobalamin prevents pernicious anemia and protects the brain from toxins, having potentially anti-aging benefits. Also, the Internal Health website points out that studies have shown that therapeutic doses of methylcobalamin may also help treat Alzheimer's disease, cancer, immune function problems, multiple sclerosis and sleep problems.
