B12 must be in methylcobalamin form to be usable, especially for people with MTHFR mutations. Folate (B9) must be in methylfolate form, not folic acid, to be properly metabolized. Vegans face structural difficulty obtaining adequate B12 because it is found primarily in animal products. Regular muscle meat is not a reliable folate source; carnivore dieters should include beef liver regularly.
