Review: It really works! Tastes great too - I've been a Jarrow customer about a decade. This is a superior product! I have the MTHFR gene (confirmed via blood test), which means I cannot absorb B12 as cyanocobalamin (which is synthetic, FYI) nor folic acid. I CAN absorb methylcobalamin and methylfolate. I was getting peripheral neuropathy (I'm not diabetic), so I had my vitamin B12 levels tested via blood, and they were at the lowest end of the normal range. I ordered this item, take one per day, and I've had 50% improvement of symptoms in 1 month. My labs have not been repeated yet due to insurance issues, but this is not a placebo effect. Previously, I was tripping more and stubbing my toes more, to the point I had to take stairs one at a time while looking at the stairs and holding the railing (which didn't allow me to carry much, so lots of time wasted with multiple trips up and down) because I couldn't "feel" the ground through my shoes; yet when I stubbed my toes it hurt like heck. My life has improved so much in 1 month. I will continue to take it until my insurance will pay for follow up labs or, if I'm lucky, I can reverse the neuropathy completely.
Review: Completely stopped my random nerve shocks and RLS - My PT recommended this supplement to help with random nerve shocks I was getting in my legs. Not only has it stopped those, it’s stopped my Restless Leg Syndrome as well! It’s a chewable version with a nice lemon flavor/smell that I find pleasant. It dissolves quickly upon chewing and absorbs quickly. I do recommend taking it with at least a little bit of food to avoid an upset stomach. Based on my results and how quickly I got them, I feel like it’s a really high quality vitamin. I will definitely continue to buy and recommend to anyone looking to address a B12 deficiency.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How is this different from BComplex ?**
A: Folate, not Folic Acid, is the naturally occurring form of B9.
Its name is derived from the Latin word “folium,” which means leaf. In fact, leafy vegetables are among the best dietary sources of folate.
Folate is a generic name for a group of related compounds with similar nutritional properties.
The active form of vitamin B9 is a folate known as levomefolic acid or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF).
In your digestive system, most dietary folate is converted into 5-MTHF before entering your bloodstream.

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic form of vitamin B12 found only in supplements, while methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form that you can get through either food sources or supplements.

**Q: what is the differnce between the B-12 loxenge and the B-12 methyl ?**
A: The lozenge is the delivery method. Regular capsules you would swallow, but a lozenge is a flavored pill that you hold under your tongue or in your cheek (or just suck on it I suppose), to release the vitamin directly into your bloodstream bypassing your digestive acids which can otherwise hinder the potency of some vitamins such as b12, which is why people often will talk about b12 injections, but lozenges seem to work just about as well.  B12 in capsule form isn't nearly as effective as injection or lozenges based one studies I've seen.  This is a good product

**Q: Is this comparable to Metanx**
A: I was prescribed metanx 3mg. (B*9 >3mg. B*6 >35mg. B*12>3mg.) I have Neuropathy & this is suppose to help. The prescription 3mo. Supply cost$174 $58.00 per month is this equal to prescription?

**Q: The picture of the label lists 400mcg folate, while the ingredients label lists over 600mcg folate. Which is it?**
A: Product contains 400mcg methyl folate. The DFE (dietary folate equivalent) is 680mcg. Taking 400mcg methyl folate is equivalent to taking 680mcg regular folic acid.
