> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 daythe information ive read about sublingual B12 came down to two key points: 1. Methyl-B12 is the form you want for absorption 2. it needs to be dissolving in your mouth for 45 to 90 minutes i was using some tiny B12 pills and couldnt get more than 30 minutes out of them. these are larger, probably a little larger than an aspirin but not so large as to make them hard to use. i put them between my upper lip and gum because under the tongue is not comfortable for me. they are taking around 2 hours to dissolve. thats a little long, but ill take it. i expect that it would be about 1 hour under the tongue for me. pleasant subtle lemon flavor and slightly sweet. not exactly sure what makes them a lozenge vs. a pill. i guess its the fact that they are intended to dissolve in the mouth vs. swallowing them.

> 3 dayThis has really helped me go from trying to function and having more difficult days than others. To having more productive days than stymied days. Raising two children and having no structure of work to really push me, my mild to moderate depression would prevent me doing more than wash the dishes and help my children alive and entertained. After starting to take these (dissolving under the tongue) I have an increased interest, desire and ability to get a larger portion of what needs to be done finished and some extra too. These are the little nudge that launched me into exercising again among other extra circular activities ;) overall a great help! Really given my life more joy!

Greater than one weekThe flavor is good and it is easy to chew, but I am concerned that there is no Lot number or expiration date on the bottle. I didnt realize it until I just ordered a new supply and the label was different which made me look at it.

> 3 dayGreat taste, and non gritty. Helps keep my B12 up and its the best form, methyl. Stay away from cyano form Bs. Cyano is synthetic. Methyl is active form.

> 3 dayWas 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.

> 3 dayI went to the dr and was told I’m anemic and my b12 was remarkably low. I tried these sublinguals, which are very chalky, and I have no idea if I feel any different. I feel like they don’t absorb very well, because of how chalky they are. I will try another product just to compare. But from what I understand, your body can only absorb so much at once and 1000 is way above that threshold. I do feel like I have a million days worth of lozenges

> 3 dayI have both ADHD and anxiety. Yikes! Ive known for a long time that B vitamins have a positive impact on anxiety, but it just never really worked that well for me personally. I generally manage my anxiety with meditation, yoga, breathing techniques, and the occasional Xanax. But then I read an article about natural treatments for anxiety - I wish I could find it now - and it included mention of Methylcobalamin and Folinic Acid as options to improve brain function and help with anxiety and ADHD. Hm. Worth a try. So I ordered both on Amazon (this is the folinic acid I bought:
