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

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

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!

The benefits from this vitamin is difficult to maintain in seniors. I read that sublingual tablets were the way to go, taking them like you would any supplement or medicine that you chew. I can not say enough about the benefits of this sublingual tablet. My 80+ year old husband no longer sleeps away his day in a recliner. I do also give him additional (2) drinkable tablets. I began these subliqual tablets along with the supplemental and my lab test measured B12 off the charts. So I cut back on the other tablets, actually to 1/2 a day. I guess I have to find out how to take just the sublingual.

These are great for anyone with suspected difficulty in absorbing B12 (due to many factors including digestive issues, MTHFR gene variations, etc.). I decided to start on a low dose to avoid any possible negative side effects, so for the first 2 or so weeks I cut the tablets into fourths and took one of the fourths per day. The tablets are not scored, but are large enough that they are relatively easy to cut with a sharp knife. I have successfully cut them into halves and fourths. After a couple of weeks I bumped up to a half tablet, and after a couple more weeks I bumped up to one full tablet. I have been taking these for a little over a month now and havent noticed any significant positive or negative effects. However, since I have MTHFR variations, I feel that it is worth supplementing with methyl B12. If you use these properly (place the tablet under your tongue without chewing), a full tablet will take a long time to dissolve. I usually keep it under my tongue to dissolve for as long as I can stand (5-10 minutes) and then chew the rest and rub the chewed powder part on my gums (the mucus membranes throughout the mouth can absorb the B12, not just under the tongue). Next time, I will probably order the 5000 mcg tablets and cut them into fourths since that is cheaper than buying the 1000 mcg tablets (although these are already a reasonable price).

I cannot comment on absorbency as I have not gone for my b12 test

If 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

I’ll start off with saying I like the chew ability of this vitamin, I have been taking meds my whole life and constantly get pills stuck thank god no need for that anymore. I do find that they lack that lemon zing you would look for, heck I couldn’t detect lemon at all.

The taste and absorbency of the product appears to be ok. However I wish there were not so many other ingredients as listed on the bottle. Shipment arrived the next day as expected. I would purchase again, as the price is very reasonable.

Tastes good. Very affordable B12 vitamin. B12 is supposed to help the immune system function and provide energy. I bought these based on positive reviews. So far I have no complaints.

I 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.
