> 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 dayI think a higher dosage might be more noticeable for me, but that said, this gives me a pretty decent boost in energy, at best. Easy to chew, and the flavor is ok. Some days, I have issues with energy, so this is helpful to me, when those days come and go. No noticeable side-effects. Once I run out, Ill look into a slightly higher dosage, to hopefully see more effects. Otherwise, a pretty solid product.

> 3 dayIt may be placebo, but I really do feel a difference with these. I have noticed that my pee doesnt turn a neon yellow which makes me feel like the vitamin B is actually being absorbed, but that could be faulty logic (maybe its the niacin in other brands that does that.) I put the lozenge under my tongue and it takes about 50 minutes to dissolve. It leaves behind an odd mush, which isnt the most pleasant thing in the world, but its not horrendous. Id like to see the lozenge be a bit more dissolve friendly, but for price paid and results, or lack there of (ie no violent diarrhea, stomach aches) I will call it a good bargain.

> 3 dayHas 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.

> 3 dayI take a medication that depletes B12 from the body, and Id like to avoid taking B12 shots if I can. This supplement contains the form of B12 that is most easily assimilated by the body. The flavor is very, very mild in my opinion. Personally, I felt better when taking the stronger 5000mcg supplement, so after a month or so of these, Ive returned to that strength. Overall though, Ive always been very pleased with Jarrow products.

> 3 dayI wanted to really like this product as it has high reviews and was referred by a Facebook for low b12 levels. I took one 1,000mg every other day, too strong. Cut it down to 250mg everyday then every other day and still too strong. It gave me heart palpitations even days after I stopped taking them. Couldn’t sleep easily either. I already have good energy with my vitamin d and magnesium so the energy this gave was too much. Gave me the sensation like I drank several energy drinks. It’s been days and still haven’t fully gotten rid of the sensation on my chest.

> 3 dayI recently tested low for B-12. I use Jarrow products because they are what my cardiologist and PCP recommend. Their products are quality, and third party tested and researched. I do notice that I get headaches a bit more often after taking these, but I’m hoping that resolves after my body acclimates to the supplement. Overall, if you need B-12, go with the methyl formulation and avoid the Cyanocobalamin (which is what many big box store B-12 variants are, especially in mainstream multivitamins). This is the “good stuff” at a price lower than most the rest.

> 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
