It is also important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting B12 shots, especially for those on medications that may interfere with B12 absorption or metabolism
Reported applications include NNMT enzyme inhibition assays measuring 1-methylnicotinamide formation or S-adenosylhomocysteine release, intracellular target-engagement assays in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes where 5-Amino-1MQ reduced intracellular 1-methylnicotinamide with an EC near 2.3 M (Neelakantan et al., Biochem Pharmacol, 2018), membrane permeability and Caco-2 transport characterisation, methyltransferase selectivity panels covering COMT, DNMT1 and PRMT3, and rodent studies of NNMT inhibition in adipose tissue and liver following the antisense knockdown work of Kraus and colleagues (Nature, 2014)
Methylcobalamin is light-sensitive and degrades with UV exposure, so never store these tablets in a clear container on a windowsill or under bright lights
Most patients may experience increased energy and appetite suppression, within 2-3 weeks of starting treatment [2]
