I confess I was a little skeptical about the quality and the effect of this B12 because of the color that I found too white and not too pink. The taste is good, you can let it dissolve in your mouth or chew it. I had the opportunity to take a blood test and I was surprised by the result. Look how it increased (picture). In 2018 I had a blood test and my levels were good (NO supplement). That's why it's always good to have blood tests or whenever you need to have a test ask to include some vitamins/minerals that you are using. I purchased 1 bottle of B12 in November 2021. I didn't take it every day. It was every 2 days and I hadn't taken it for a while when I did the blood test. So, for those who have low B12 I recommend it and for those who want to improve or ... MoreI confess I was a little skeptical about the quality and the effect of this B12 because of the color that I found too white and not too pink.

So, for those who have low B12 I recommend it and for those who want to improve or maintain their levels, you can see that it doesn't have to be every day. If you need to translate the photo it is in Portuguese.

I really like the taste of these lozenges. I know it's silly but I look forward it every day. The dosage is a perfect compliment to the 500 mcg of B12 I'm getting in my B Complex (total of 1,000 mcg). Remember to not move it around in your mouth too much...it's essentially sandpaper and will definitely leave you with a sore mouth. Just remember to respect the grit and you'll do fine! I've heard good things about the quality of Jarrow supplements and certainly have no complaints. I like that this does not have the cyano version of B12 but good ingredient (the methyl version which is better for everyone except those with the MTHFR genetic mutation). Try adenosylcobalamin if you do have the mutation.

I am 72 years old and have had a B12 deficiency for more than a decade. Despite getting B12 shots at my doctor's office as well as having to self-inject B12 doses at home daily, my levels did not improve significantly enough. I recently read that persons with such deficiencies can sometimes improve their levels by taking extra high doses of oral B12. The methyl form of B12 is best for people like me who also have certain genetic mutations that require methyl B12 and methyl folate (NOT folic acid) supplementation. It may also help me mitigate the high MCV that is associated with B12 deficiency, helping to protect me from certain blood and heart-related issues, as well as possibly help lower my HbA1c which is the tell-tale sign of prediabetes or diabetes.

I have been using 24,000 mcg daily, which is still considered safe. I will retest my blood values to see if there has been a marked improvement, and if so, I'll be able to cut down the dosage for a while because B12 is stored in the body for 3 years or so. This formula, with methyl folate and the addition of the supportive B6 (P-5-P) costs a little more than simple B12 lozenges, but it is well worth it. It tastes great, has good potency, and uses high quality ingredients. Thank you, iHerb for stocking this supplement.
