Key Quotes:

“If you can't pronounce it, don't eat it. Don't drink it. And that's a good rule of thumb. The less stuff that's in a product, the better.” - Sage Workinger

“If it just says b12, but it doesn't say the form next to it, just assume it's cyanocobalamin because if it's methylcobalamin, it will lay it out.” - Sage Workinger
