When measuring heating effects, a unit of thermal energy known as a calorie is used. One calorie is 4.184 Joules. Materials have a property called thermal capacity or specific heat. This is a measure of how many calories are needed to raise 1.0 gram of the material one degree Centigrade.The thermal capacity of water at 15 deg. C is 1.0 calorie.That is 4.184 Joules or 4.184 Watt-seconds. The entire energy could be transferred to the water in one millisecond at a rate of 4184 watts to produce the same temperature rise of one deg.hen measuring heating effects, a unit of thermal energy known as a calorie is used.

Unless people know what their genetic profile is I would recommend hydroxocobalamin. I know many people with MTHFR SNPs who find that methyl B-12 exacerbates mental health symptoms (especially increasing risks for depression, agitation, irritability and anxiety).
If you suffer from any of the following symptoms or if there is a family history of any of these health concerns, it may be worth doing the MTHFR test: 1  Depression. 2  Insomnia. 3  Family history of dementia. 4  Alcoholism. 5  Long-term use of birth control pills.
