NOW Foods Supplements, Methyl B-12 (Methylcobalamin) 5,000 mcg, Nervous System Health*, 60 Lozenges

This is a very high dosage of vitamin B12 as Methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin is the specific type of B12 needed for nerve regeneration after nerve damage and anything less than 5000 mcg won't be enough for the nerves, so this is perfect. The taste is okay and no complaints.

When I had my B12 level tested after taking these, my numbers had risen! Price is good compared to others on a shelf at nearby store. I’ll keep reordering.

Easy to use, great taste

I tried a different b-12 and came back to this one. I could feel the difference m.

I love the NOW brand and order most of my supplements from them. They are more affordable to order online than purchase on the store.

My husband notices a difference when taking these. They don't work as well for me, but I get a slight increase in energy/ B12 levels. Do you know how to recognize your B12 levels without going to a doc? Check your nails. At the bottom of the nail bed, above your cuticle, you should have white half moons. They will be higher on your dominant hand and disappear lastly from your thumbs. If you have none on your thumbs or dominant hands, you're in a bad state! You may even want to see a doctor about injections. Now that I have been working with a doctor and learned this, I keep track of my levels by looking at the half moons. A Candida cleanse and lower grain/ sugar diet has helped me to maintain higher levels, because nothing is blocking MY nutrient absorption! :D

Great way to get your daily B12. Small, chewable and good flavor. Definitely provides an energy boost and strengthens finger nails.

So far so good! I have to take this form because I've got an MTHFR genetic anomaly (4 in 10 people do!). This means that I cannot process common cyanocobalamin (artificial long shelf life) version that is crammed into most vitamin packs, energy drinks, etc, even expensive ones. Those taking cyanocobalamin form end up with higer B12 blood readings (think oil on water), deprive your brain of a nutrient lack of which may also lead to pernitious anemia and often misdiagnosed as other maladies even schitzophrenia. Excess of unused B12 is peed out and what remains over years may contribute to front lobe dementia in old age and other issues along the way. If you are one of the 60% who are not - great, but it's worth finding out. Those with one of many forms of this genetic anomaly NEED MORE than just correct form, but in greater amount as well as the other half - FOLATE. Unlike wrong B that floats around, folic acid is absorbed but not used, and blocks Folate form intake from food. That too is a huge issue since it affects thyroid, heart, medications halflife messing with prescribed dose, ability to carry children full term, celiac disease, etc manifesting in different ways. I am convinced that every child born should be tested at birth to avoid future issues over lifetime. (Best place to learn is on mthfr(dot)net .B12's required to combine with FOLATE to set off a key shain reaction in a body's methelation cycle that covers blood garbage removal, seratonin, dopamine and must precede other cycles. (FOLATE is not Folic Acid used as substitution also FDA forces through fortified flour). 156 countries banned import and export of folic acid because long term issues.P.S. Every vegan and vegetarian should take 5mg B12 daily or risk pernicious anemia. If you have not confirmed MTHFR presence via individual blood test or a full panel (ex 23andme), just play safe and nuy this methelated form.PPS - Folate is so important that psychiateists often prescribe DEPLIN for their patients. It is nothing but a 50mg Folate pill. Why do they do it? Because many malasies like de po ression and others are impacted by brain's deprivation of Folate. I take 5mg of each pill daily AND make sire to eat folate rich foods like brown lentils (Palouse brand is the best) not the orange or yellow ones. Also, fenugreek seed (soaked overnight and added to soups, rice, veggie burgers, etc). Like I mentioned -we need more. Beware of drs unfamiliar w/MTHFR and those who use folate and folic acid interchangeably. Cheers!!
