Thanks for that Steve, although they mention cyanocobalamin which I know is not as good as methylcobalamin so that would bear it out a bit I suppose. I also know that magnesium oxide is not so easily assimilated as magnesium citrate, so I suppose it is feasible. The product I have is a enzyme product which is a bit worrying as Dr Wong also mentioned this criteria. Thanks again. Dee

In this case they are pushing the need for methylated vitamins and discuss an interview with Greg Kunin, co-founder of Ola Loa. If you visit the Ola Loa Products site you will see the comment: "Driven by science not by fads, Ola Loa Products are formulated by nutrition pioneer Richard Kunin, M.D., one of the founders of Antioxidant Therapy. Fifty years of research has led Dr. Kunin to his breakthrough discovery that Methylation is the key to better health, and goes beyond antioxidants. Ola Loa is the world's only product to provide this critical methylation support." I tend to be skeptical of health news sources that are also the only supplier of the technology. And I would not ne surprised if Natural News had a financial tie-in with Ola Loa Products (paid for article = advertising?). I can't say that methylation isn't better but it does not mean that USP is bad IMO. - Steve N ________________________________
