Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 -- 5000 Mcg - 60 Lozenges

Jarrow Formulas Methyl B12 -- 5000 Mcg - 60 Lozenges

The Superior Form of B12: Methylcobalamin. Protects Brain Cells and Nerve Tissue. Methylcobalamin (Methyl B12) is better absorbed and retained than other forms of B12 (such as cyanocobalamin). Methyl B12 protects nerve tissue and brain cells, and promotes better sleep. Methyl B12 is a cofactor of methionine synthase, which reduces toxic homocysteine to the essential amino acid methionine. Methylcobalamin also protects eye function against toxicity caused by excess glutamate. Suitable for Vegetarians. NOTE: Color of tablet naturally varies from light pink to red.

"Recommended by my doctor who is not only a md but also liscensed naturopathic doctor. Methylcobalamin is the best form of B12 and the lozenger form doesn't get eaten up by the stomach acid like it does in capsules or tablets. Also, I just noticed Jarrow makes a 1000 mcg but is sweetened w/ two alcohol sweeteners "sorbitol and mannitol" along w/frutose" sweetener which is not only overkill but all three gives me and alot of other people diarrhea! I orginally tried other lozengers that had these sweeteners and everytime they upset my stomach and gave me "you know what"! I don't know why they would use those in that dosage because this Jarrow B-12, 5000 mcg is sweetened just w/Xylitol. It is classifed as a sugar alcohol thats naturally in the fibres of fruits and vegetables & doesn't irritate the stomach or bowel like the others do. Also it's recommend for those that are pre-diabetic or diabetic as it is slowly absorbed from the digestive tract & as a result does not cause rapid increase in blood glucose levels which I'm happy about since I'm pre-diabetic. It's works great on all levels and doesn't cause me any problems at all. The lozengers are really easy to cut in half just w/a paring knife. I just hope Jarrow doesn't stop using the Xylitol in this one to sweeten with as it's the only alcohol sweetener I can use compared to all the other ones. I'm sure other companies will start using it because the other alcohol sweeteners cause alot of problems for people. It would be great if Jarrow would start using the Xylitol in the 1000 mcg instead of what they are using now. I don't usually put this amt of time in reviews but thought this info would help others like myself."

"Not only is it the good kind of absorbable B12 that is now recommended, I love the taste and love the fact that it's sweetened with xylitol instead of sorbitol like most other brands (and Jarrows lemon flavored ones). I also like the fact that is has a very high dosage, which has been proven that a high dose lozenge works just as well as the shots!"
