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

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 was looking for a B12 that I could actually use and notice a difference. Well, I noticed the difference in a matter of a couple days. Sooner really! I dont even need my pot of coffee in the morning. I am not down to a cup of coffee. I was recommended to get B12 after a blood panel showed I was deficient and this is better than the last one and I thought it was good. This is superior!

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.

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.

This 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!

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

If youre going to take B-12 you should think about the form you take. The methyl B12 is the natural form of B12 and it doesnt need to be converted by the liver, whereas if you take the other form and it has to be converted it might not be as effective or might not work at all. Also, methyl-B12 should be in a sublingual form, as this is in order to work best. Jarrow Methyl-B12 1000 mcg sublingual lozenges has everything one would want in a B-12. I buy this one for my kids and hubby, while I take 5000 mcg. Highly recommend!

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.

I 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.

I bought a bottle of these last month after reading that some medication I am taking strips the body of B-12 vitamin. I chose this brand due to the high rated reviews and I am sure glad I did. Within just a couple of days (starting with one a day, in the morning) I experienced increased energy and also a more positive outlook on life; my mood is definitely a lot better than before, I also noticed a big drop in everyday anxieties and I have a longer fuse too! (temper-wise) Ive also noticed better sleep too, I am really impressed with the benefits so far. Some days I take another in the afternoon...you should avoid taking these at night. Also, there seems to be a lot of confusing whether to melt these under your tongue or to chew them - the instructions on the bottle clearly point to either method. I do both, either chew or let it melt (takes about 15 min).
