> 24 hourWas diagnosed with B12 deficiency due to taking Metformin. I was tired all the time and feeling poorly. My endocrinologist recommended B12 vitamins. These do the job and I have been feeling great. My blood test shows my B12 problem is gone. Very pleased with this product. Thanks.

> 24 hourThese seem to work better than the regular B-12 sublinguals Ive been getting from Walmart forever. As well, I have been taking B-100 which has B12 in it also for years. Before taking this Methyl B-12 I had blood work done for B12 for many other health issues Im trying to resolve. I had that day taken the regular B12, which I informed them of, and it is like a 2500 dose, so of course my blood levels of B12 were high. They do not test specifically as far as I can tell. BUT, what I have only just now begun to notice. after taking This methyl B12 for the first time, is that the white moons at the nail bed base are starting to form on my thumbs................AND other fingernails! I find this totally amazing...... Ive had issues with energy since I was a kid and started taking B12 shots in my teens then off and on for Years since then; as well taken the B-Complete suppliments and B12 sublinguals -including the liquid sublinguals- for Many years.... and I have NEVER had the moons on my other fingernail beds.... I even thought that they were Only supposed to be on the thumbs and little to none showing was Normal. Now I have read what the moons mean as far as health and vitamin enrichment/presence in the body, so this is relative to me. Ive Never ever had the moons on other fingernail beds, and the thumb ones were always very small and not very contrasting. NOW, they are growing larger, much larger, and also in bright contrast to the rest of the nail, and Again, are starting to show in the other nailbeds as well! I find this happening to be the most tell-tell sign that this form of B12 is superior to the others that I have used for years, and that even show in my bloodwork, but never made this change. Because of all the other health issues I suffer, I cannot say for sure about the energy levels and mental improvements that may occur using this. Also, Ive never eaten meat daily, but I do eat it weekly, so not sure what difference that makes. But, I am hoping for the best and will continue to use the Methyl B-12 from now on. Why only 3 stars???? This pill is gargantuan. Its very uncomfortable under the tongue because of its size and edges scraping... .as well, it takes Forever, like Two Hours to not quite completely dissolve under the tongue. Im not sure about that being good for my skin under there nor my teeth, and of course, it just sucks. So.... that makes it unfriendly to me, a dread. I will be searching for other ways to get the Methyl B12 that might work better in application, but until I do, Ill continue to this one.

> 24 hourI love this brand because it is METHYLCOBALAMIN and not CYANOCOBALAMIN which is in most Vitamin B-12 products. Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 found only in supplements, while methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form that you can get through either food sources or supplements. I like these in particular because they are chewable and I usually chew one in the morning and then later on in the day for a pick me up and they truly DO give a great boost of energy!! I highly recommend Jarrow

> 24 hourI started taking B-12 shortly after going vegan 6 months ago. I don’t think I’ve ever been B-12 deficient and likely havent been vegan long enough to tell. I don’t feel any different after taking these so I can’t vouch for their absorbency. But I know that as a vegan, it is a supplement I need to take. I first bought these in the tropical flavor which I liked a lot. When I ran out, I purchased the lemon ones because they are more economical but much much much prefer the tropical flavor. When this one runs out, I’ll repurchase tropical.

> 24 hourI did feel more energized while taking this. I also got great rest at night, which I dont normally. I didnt like the fact that I was constantly hungry and lost weight quickly. I dont need nor want to lose any weight. I then have them to a friend and he said it was the same for him, but he was trying to lose some belly fat. He said he was losing weight too quick. They say this is not a diet pill and it does not make you lose weight. Well it definitely speeds up your metabolism a lot. I already have a fast metabolism, so this is not for me.

> 24 hourThis is the best B12 Ive encountered. Im in the health profession and usually give it to patients via injection. However, I also know that the alternative route for best absorption is sublingual. I tried another brand in the past that did not work so I stopped taking B12 altogether. However, I had fasciculations...almost like a nerve twitch - for lack of a better explanation, that had been going on and started to get progressively worse last year to the point that I started having PVCs. . I actually put myself on the monitor and panicked when I saw it. Im too young for this and I have no cardiac history. It was in my legs years prior but it started coming up and was getting allover- torso, face, back...scary. I mean it was so bad I started to worry about ALS but I dont have it in my family or fit certain risk factors. Plus, I had low energy and other symptoms. B12 deficiency is no joke as it can cause B12 anemia and other nerve issues. Then first thing to go when I started taking this was the PVCs, then the upper body fasciculations. I guess last in , first out. Eventually, the frequency for the lower body ones decreased and has gone away. I stopped taking this initially last October when everything went away and eventually after about 6 weeks, i started noticing the twitch in my legs so I went back on it. I have it on subscribe and save. I dont take it on a daily basis now. Initially I was. Ill say I take it on an almost daily basis. The weird thing is that for me it, makes me sleepy so I only take at night. I And yes, the other B12 related symptoms resolved. Im hoping this review helps someone because B12 isnt a usual suspect for a lot of things and it can be crazy and a bit scary.

> 24 hourIf your doctor gives you a cyanide molecule B12 he doesnt know supplements and I wouldnt trust him with natural care. Most arent really trained in that; they learn pharmaceuticals and surgeries. You want holistic care you find an ND who will tell you methyl based B12 is best. Still, I wonder why its so difficult to find. Thank you Amazon

> 24 hourAfter eating a vegan diet for 3 years, I started having serious problems with fatigue. A blood test revealed low B-12 levels. The doctor recommended monthly B-12 shots, but the bright red dye in the injections freaked me out (what IS that stuff?) and I didnt want the inconvenience of needing to go get shots, so I started taking the Jarrow Methyl B-12. My fatigue disappeared rapidly and my B-12 levels normalized. There is scientific research that shows B-12 absorption is not effected by whether you chew the tablets or dissolve them sublingually, so I chew them. Methyl B-12 is the best form to take as it is more bioavailable, and the more commonly found cyanocobalamin form of B-12 leaves trace amounts of cyanide in the body. Who needs that?! A highly regarded nutrition researcher and lecturer recommended the Jarrow brand to me and Im very happy with the product.

> 24 hourIve experimented with several forms of Vitamin B12 and have found this one to be, BY FAR, the most effective B12 supplement Ive used. Ive used this in conjunction with folinic acid and Jarrows PQQ to improve my brain fog symptoms, and have found them to be VERY effective. No doubt, this is largely thanks to this B12, which is perhaps the highest quality of Vitamin B12 available (Methylcobalamin). Do not settle for less with your supplements; Ive tried cheaper products before and have been greatly disappointed. This one is highly bioavailable; stay away from cyanocobalamin and several others. Jarrows continually pleases me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
