  Methylcobalamin is the coenzyme form of vitamin B-12, which means your body can use it without requiring extra steps to transform it into a usable substance. Methylcobalamin is used to treat a number of diseases and deficiencies, and there are multiple benefits that come with taking methylcobalamin.
  
  

Sleep Problems

• According to mend.net, methylcobalamin can help with sleep problems, specifically sleep-wake rhythm disorders. These sleep-wake rhythm disorders include advanced sleep phase syndrome and delayed sleep phase syndrome. Methylcobalamin helps replenish the brain's neurotransmitters when the neurotransmitters are being produced by amino acids in the brain. Considering that sleep disorders can have a number of extremely serious effects--such as weight gain, weight loss, and diminished problem solving skills--methylcobalamin is an important supplement to take if you are suffering from sleep problems.
  
  

Vitamin B Deficiency

• Taking methylcobalamin can also help if you have a vitamin B deficiency disorder. Since methylcobalamin can be instantly used by your body instead of having to convert it into a more usable form, you can feel the effects of it more quickly than other vitamin B forms. Some of the symptoms of vitamin B deficiency that methylcobalamin can help alleviate include--but are not limited to--the following: tiredness, decreased mental capacity, memory loss and memory problems, inability to concentrate, irritability, depression, sores in the corner of your mouth, shortness of breath, and a sharp stabbing pain in the palm of your hands.
  
  

Anemia

• Methylcobalamin can also help with the effects of anemia. Anemia is a decrease in the number of normal red blood cells or a decrease in the normal amount of hemoglobin found in your blood. Anemia can range from mild to severe. Some of the symptoms of severe anemia include: fainting, chest pain, angina, and a heart attack. Some of the symptoms of milder anemia include fatigue, dizziness, muscular weakness, and a feeling of coldness. Taking methylcobalamin has been shown to help with the symptoms of anemia.
