Source Naturals MethylCobalamin Vitamin B-12 1000mcg Cherry Flavored Sublingual - 60 Lozenges (Pack of 2)

This is a great product, and I wanted to write this review to address the complaints of many that they "take forever to dissolve" or "don't dissolve well."If you have (or suspect you might have) poor absorption of nutrients in your gut/digestive tract, you want your B12 to bypass the digestive system. The whole point of a sublingual tablet is to allow the nutrient to be absorbed by the body while under the tongue. If the pill dissolves too fast (more like a meltaway mint), the sweeteners in it trigger your salivary response, and the pill dissolves quickly and gets flushed out from under your tongue into your mouth. Yum, cherry flavor! EXCEPT!... now it's going to get swallowed and go through your digestive tract. :/ Presumably, this isn't what you wanted to happen because you've gone through the trouble and expense to buy a sublingual tablet rather than a regular pill in order to bypass the digestive system.If you chew it, crush it before putting it under your tongue, or do anything else to undermine its intended function, you've wasted your money on this product. This is a well-designed sublingual tablet. Let it do what it's supposed to do. Yes, it takes 20 minutes or so to dissolve completely, but honestly, who cares? It's a small, flat tablet that fits comfortably under your tongue. Is it keeping you from getting in the shower, or mowing your yard, or feeding your kids, or doing whatever else you need to be doing while waiting -- impatiently! -- for it to dissolve? Just stick a tablet (or two or three!) under your tongue, and get on with your life.

This is the better of two types to absorb B12 through the stomach.Not excessively sweet, this flavored sublingual vitamin has enough flavor to cover almost all of the vitamin taste. It melts quickly under the tongue - seems like it takes 30 seconds to one minute.My veteran husband who takes B12 injections weekly for a definite deficiency (secondary to another medical condition), experiences occasional days of severe fatigue from overexertion the day before. One of these tablets helps him get back to himself without disrupting his weekly injection dosage and its need. It helps fill in the slack.No stomach problems when taken with and without food, at the same time as (and at different times than) his prescription medicines.I tried one when I missed a presciption medicine for a condition that has extreme fatigue as one symptom. It helped me get through the day until I got my medicine refill at the pharmacy.B12 is water soluable, so you cannot overdose on it. Drinking water will flush it out of your body. If the dosage is too high for a person's body, the urine will be a canary yellow color.UPDATE May 29, 2013 (Originally written March 2, 2013)My husband can replace his weekly injections if he uses this, but doctor determined frequency using this dosage of sublingual.

Began taking this supplement 2 wks ago after doctor recommended for various issues from lack of sleep and muscle & nerve pain. I wasn't sure what would happen but boy, I was surprised after a few days I noticed I was sleeping better and deeper & nerve pain was much less. Now after 2 weeks, I'm a believer and increased the dose. After some on-line research and checking w/a naturopathic doctor, seems that B-12 is a MASTER vitamin so very necessary for the body to make and convert melatonin for sleep therefore you sleep better; and necessary for cell and nerve growth which helps heal nerve pain. Seems like basic dosage on the bottle is for those already healthy and those with health issues can take up to 8 to 10 tablets a day and there is no known toxicity or problems. Studies are quoted where people took 9 to 10 tablets a day for a year or so until their blood tests showed them back up to normal, then continued to take 2 to 4 tablets for maintenance. Lots of great research info available on the web, AND this is the BEST price from a very good company! You'll be happy with this buy!

I gave it 3 sstars only because the B12 worked well, but I did not get what I ordered. Amazon has a pic of a bottle of 5000mcg (5 mg) with 60 tabs of B12, but I received a bottle for 1000mcg (1mg). Also they said it was a double pack, but I only received one bottle unlike other Amazon purchases that sent 2 bottles when it said double pack. In the long run, I had to take 5 tabs to equate the 5000mcg, which meant I will finish 5 times faster, so not a good deal. I ordered another brand and I hope it gets here before this one finishes. I was very unhappy that I did not receive what I ordered and it would have cost more to return it, so I just kept it.The tabs did not really dissolve that well for me so I usually smash them, then put the crumbs under my tongue. I noticed a difference in my concentration and memory after a few days and I hope to see more changes. Due to a health concern I became a Vegeterian almost 3 years ago and noticed memory problems and brain fog, but didn't know what the problem was. I saw an episode of Doctor Oz and saw that I met most of the symptoms for a vit. B12 deficiency, so this is a great supplement for me. I love that there are no adverse side effects to taking large amounts of B12 so I will take 5000mcg twice a day.

Great way to increase your B-12 intake. Gives a boost of energy, and it's made with Methylcobalamin, which is the best "form" of B-12. You usually see Cyanocobalamin in vitamins, which may not really be all that helpful...but this is the right stuff. My body absorbed it super well, and I went from doctors telling me that I was low to them being astonished at my high levels. Great taste too!
