Do methylated supplements really absorb better?
There’s a lot of debate on whether methylated vitamins—such as methylfolate and methylcobalamin—are genuinely better absorbed or if it’s just marketing. Has anyone tested both forms or noticed changes after switching? Are the methylated versions actually worth the higher cost for most people?

I read widely on methylated vs non-methylated vitamins and decided to test it myself by switching to a formula with b6 p5p plus methylfolate/methylcobalamin. I noticed smoother energy levels, less “peaks and crashes,” and slightly improved mood after about two weeks. However, if you don’t have known methylation issues or genetic markers (like MTHFR variants), the benefit might be less dramatic. The higher cost might be justified for those with specific needs — for most healthy users, the difference might be subtle.
