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

I took the first lemon flavored 500 mcg tablet today. It only took about 15 minutes to melt under my tongue. I have high hopes for this product... Hopefully it will work for me. The size of the tablet was not bad, a little larger than a pencil eraser. From some of the other reviews I thought it was going to be huge. Its not. I am giving it a 5 to start out, because of the size of the tablet, ease in melting, and packaging. I will update after I have taken it longer. I am looking forward to having more energy, sleeping better and building stronger bones! I am 68 and I am feeling my age. I am hoping this product helps me get some energy back.

After 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.

I have taken these for about two months and have started ordering them from Amazon. Typical good Amazon shipping and service, vitamins always arrive quickly and undamaged. These lozenges take a long time to dissolve. 1000mcg is a lot of B-12 so it is worth the wait but if you dont have the patience to keep the lozenge under your tongue for 20 - 45 minutes this vitamin isnt for you. For me it takes 45 minutes to completely dissolve, for other people I know its closer to 30 minutes. My doctor told me to take B-12 because some stomach medicines, like the Prilosec that I take, cause a B-12 deficiency. It has the added benefit of giving me extra energy.

I found the pills very hard to chew. I grind them up so I dont really taste them. Because of the sickness going around the world I cant go to my Dr for a B 12 shot so I have been using these instead.

Whether you have an MTHFR mutation or not, you are better off taking the methylcobalamin version of B12 than the more common cyanocobalamin variety offered in most Bcomplexes and multivitamins. This formulation dissolves in the mouth and can also be chewed if you get impatient! It has a mild flavor (different varieties) that is at worst, unoffensive and at best, tasty. Great for children and adults. A necessary co-factor for folate, particularly l-methylfolate (required for MTHFR folks). Jarrow is a reputable company and Amazon offers it at a great price.

After finding out about different Gene mutations I decided to delve deeper into vitamin therapy and what my mixed up body needs. Switching from a standard multi to specialized single vitamins did the trick! Adding methyl to B vitamins is absolutely the way I needed to go, it did take about 10days to feel the greatest effect but it was definitely worth the wait. No side effects or belly upset, and this brand is priced great for the quality

I let the lozenges slowly dissolve under my tongue, which usually happens after only a few minutes. They taste good. I bought the 1,000 mcg and am happy with the dosage. Ive tried the 500 mcg and I didnt feel my mood improve as much with those. Although the research says its fine, Im not comfortable taking the higher mcg options that Jarrow has available, but thats just my personal preference, and the 1,000 is great for me. B12 is critical for improved mood and the B vitamins play a key role in preventing aging. They are especially necessary if you on a vegetarian or vegan diet, which I tend to be.

I take these every day and I’ve noticed a huge difference in my lifestyle they are very tasty and actually work really well and much cheaper than buying at stores

Has a nice flavor. Takes a while to dissolve under the tongue but you can chew it up a little first to make it go faster. Cant say I experienced any miracles, but I think it did help with a mild boost in mood, energy, and mental clarity. Might be worth a shot if you arent getting enough b12 in your diet or other supplements, especially if you have problems with anxiety and/or depression.

Doctor stated these are absorbed better so we have given them a try.
