Jarrow Formulas Extra Strength Methyl B-12 1000 mcg - Dietary Supplement - 100 Lemon Flavored Chewable Tablets - Bioactive Vitamin B-12 - Supports Cellular Energy Production, Sleep & Brain Health

Just before this I was using another B12 supplement which was not chewable. I felt no improvement in my energy levels. I was still feeling weak after a short workout (thats when I started taking them as my B12 were alarmingly low). Even after 4 months of use, improvement was negligible. I switched to this chewable tablet option and in a month I see myself back to normal and can workout as I used to about a year ago. I dont know why are the swallowing tablets even sold at all. They arent effective when it comes to B12 vitamin. It has to be taken through tongue as even doctor advised. My 2 cents that we should always go for chewable option for B12. And this one works like a charm. After about an year of struggle and stress on why I am so weak, I now finally feel great again!

I have been using these B-12 supplements for quite some time and I can tell you they are really awesome! They taste like pink lemonade and they dont have all the sugar and junk that other flavored B-12 supplements have. Top notch quality & taste! They really work. I have to be on high levels of vitamin B-12 so I use these in conjuction with their B-12 500 supplements and an organic B enzyme complex. I try to always choose all natural products without all the chemical additives. I truly hope this helps. If this review is helpful to you, please click yes so it can be helpful to others as well.

This product has been my best friend as I struggle with bad health. This has not only help my health but my hair is growing thick and long too.

Just switched to this Vegan product from VegLife Vegan B-12. Both offer 1000 mcg. but this is in Methylcobalamin form which is more readily available for the body to process than Cyanocobalamin. This package also offers more lozenges per bottle than the other, however, VegLife offers Folate and other goodies in the pack also. Unfortunately both products seem to leave me with a light headache after I dissolve them in the mouth which is the recommended way to take them. I have had similar headaches before when drinking juices that contain added Citric acid so I am thinking it may be the Citric and Stearic acids in these products that are causing the headache ... This product also has Xylitol, a natural sweetener some people have sensitivity to. I do need to get my B-12 level up so short of not finding an alternative Vegan B-12 product that does not have these acids I am having to take this product but swallowing it (rather than dissolving in mouth) with plenty of liquids while eating a meal which seems to reduce the headache somehow. Other than that a significant improvement in my energy level within weeks after I start taking this product.

This isnt the kind of product you can easily do an instant review on, as it takes MONTHS or even years to see any kind of results. Lacking more information all I can say is I have taken it for like a week. Not making me sick. All I got. Cannot rate Absorbency because WHAT THE HELL? Cannot rate value for money because I dont even know if it is working.

I follow a vegan diet and try to take a B12 supplement a few times a week. Ive been using these lemon B12 chewable tablets off and on for about 12 years, and they are by far my favorite. Ive tried other brands of B12 chwables, lozenges, and liquid drops when I find one on sale for a good price, but I havent found one that I like the flavor of as much as the Jarrow lemon.

(1)Both products are extremely delicious and its difficult to resist the temptation to eat too much. (2)Both products contain 1000 micrograms of methylcobalamin per tablet and will easily and rapidly dissolve in our mouth. (3)Both products are economically priced but the Jarrow Formulas product is 11.78% cheaper per tablet than the Source Naturals product. (4)One white-colored Jarrow Formulas tablet (lozenge) is much, much larger than one pink-colored Source Naturals tablet. (5)Jarrow Formulas other ingredients: xylitol, cellulose, vegetable-source stearic acid, lemon flavor, vegetable-source magnesium stearate, citric acid, and silicon dioxide. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. (6)Source Naturals other ingredients: mannitol, sorbitol, natural cherry flavor, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate. Conclusion: Source Naturals is better if you want just the methylcobalamin with as little as possible of everything else. Jarrow Formulas is better if you want to enjoy the extremely delicious taste of a much larger tablet (lozenge) at a slightly lower price per tablet. Color Changes: Source Naturals starts out as a tiny, very slightly pinkish, white tablet that turns moderately dark pink if left outside of the pill bottle for 3 to 12 hours. Jarrow Formulas starts out as a large tablet with the exact same, very slightly pinkish, white color. However, unlike the tiny, circular, chewable, Source Naturals tablet, the large, circular, chewable, Jarrow Formulas tablet doesnt change color much if left outside of the pill bottle for 3 to 12 hours. The pink dots on the Jarrow Formulas tablet will get darker and more noticeable after being left outside of the pill bottle for 3 to 12 hours but the original, very slightly pinkish, white color will still be the predominant color. Like other forms of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin is pink and apparently gets even pinker when these tablets react with the humidity in the air. Question: Does methylcobalamin get absorbed better than cyanocobalamin? Answer: Yes, slightly. Question: Does sublingual vitamin B12 get absorbed better than swallowed vitamin B12? Answer: Yes, slightly, but not because the skin under the tongue is any better at absorbing vitamin B12 than the skin of the small intestines, where most of the vitamin B12 absorption occurs. Sublingual merely extends the total length of the absorption zone by about 5%. To get the full benefit of that extra 5%, we would need to keep the sublingual tablet in our mouth for about 15 minutes. The large intestines cannot absorb any vitamin B12, even though plenty of vitamin B12 is always being produced in everybody [including vegans] by the bacteria inhabiting the large intestines. Question: What increases and what decreases vitamin B12 absorption? Answer: Calcium increases vitamin B12 absorption. Vitamin C decreases vitamin B12 absorption. Eating vitamin B12 together with food increases vitamin B12 absorption. THE BIG PICTURE: The human brain shrinks in size as it gets older and vegans, who tend to be deficient in vitamin B12, have the fastest rates of brain shrinkage as they get older while people who swallow vitamin B12 pills tend to have the slowest rates of brain shrinkage as they get older. Meat eaters have slower rates of brain shrinkage compared to vegans but faster rates of brain shrinkage compared to vitamin B12 pill swallowers. Aim to actually absorb exactly 6 to 9 micrograms of vitamin B12 per day to stay at the optimum blood level of vitamin B12. Therefore, my advice to the vast majority of people is: Because we can only absorb about 1.05% of the vitamin B12 that we swallow, we need to swallow one 500 microgram pill once each day or one 5,000 microgram pill once each week to end up absorbing the optimum amount.

This is my go to. It was recommended to me by my neurologist and I’ve seen a big difference since I started taking it 2yrs ago. I have the MTHFR gene mutation and some other health problems that make it where it’s difficult to not be deficient in B12. Jarrow has been a reliable brand who doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. The taste is decent, it’s easy to chew, and does the job.

For two years I suffered horrible esophageal spasms and indigestion, daily, that would go on for hours. I tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. (antacids, etc.) Then one of my friends sent me an article that said one of the symptoms of a B-12 deficiency is digestive problems. A B-12 deficiency seemed a likely possibility since I have had my gallbladder removed and am taking omeprazole. After I had my gallbladder out the indigestion began and eventually got so bad the esophageal spasms started up. Horrible. It would radiate from my stomach up my chest and into my lower jaw, over and over for hours on end. I spent many nights fighting nausea and standing over a sink drooling heavily. I had no idea such misery was possible until it happened to me. I didnt hold much hope that this would work, because nothing else did, but I figured Id try it and if it didnt work Id only be out a few dollars. Within days I was about 80% better. It gets a little better every day. My doctor poo-poohs this but my take on it is: after two years of sheer torture/agony it worked. I dont understand how it worked or why it worked only that it did--and that is good enough for me.

My doctor told me to start taking b12 because it was low and I decided to try this one. It’s affordable and tastes good and it works! My b12 in November 2020 was 246 and it went up to 559 in January 2021 while I was taking these pills
