Solgar Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12) 5000 mcg, 60 Nuggets - Supports Energy Metabolism - Body-Ready, Active Form of B12 - Vitamin B - Non GMO, Vegan, Gluten, Dairy Free, Kosher - 60 Count(Pack of 1)

Great supplement—the claims for it are true!

Hi! My husband and I are 69 and 71, respectively. We take quite a few supplements, but nothing we have ever tried has had such an immediate effect--in less than a month on Solgar 5000 mcg B-12 we both notice increased energy, endurance and mental alertness! John would be so exhausted following his sedentary workdays (as ad min asst) that he'd be too exhausted to even sleep--just "wiped out". He was at the point of resigning from one of his two workdays, though he loves the ministry we in which we're involved... He'd almost given up hope of finding help. John had had a cardiologist eval and an endocrine one, with all testing coming back "normal". Tests even showed our B12 levels to be WNL (OK), but we question this.... We had been somewhat erratically taking some B-12, but only 1000mcg and one not "methylcobalamin"; we'd noticed no effect. I discovered this one on another site, with 100 reviews, almost all 5 star--- It seemed almost too good to be true, as they claimed immediate effects on energy, sleep, mental alertness and just a general sense of well-being. They stressed the importance of buying the "methylcobalamin" type, as it is more readily absorbed and used by the body. We ordered one bottle of 60 from Amazon--just a month's worth for the two of us--and let it slowly dissolve in our cheeks (It's bigger,"nugget"-sized, so takes about an hour to dissolve) No particular taste, but pleasant... it's water-soluble, so any not needed by the body is just eliminated (washed out by the kidneys) I'll close now, as I am on this site to order 2 more, before the month is even through! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! :) Jan W

Take this in hopes to help the Myelin Sheath. Trigeminal Neuralgia.

I purchased one bottle in the beginning of February of 2017. I kid you not - I felt a difference 3 days in! I am maxed out on my GABAPENTIN medication daily allowed doseage for Trigeminal Neuralgia. Due to bad reactions to Trileptal, Tegretol, & Carbamzapine (plus their 'cousins'). My Neurologist told me I have no other options levitation wise. I learned about this particular brand and kind of b12 through a Trigeminal Neuralgia Support Group on FB. I can not say it enough - find a support group! They were the ones to bring Sublingual Methyl b12 5000 mcgs to my attention. So many Trigeminal Neuralgia patients have found plenty of relief after taking this kind of b12! I am extremely THANKFUL my body is feeling so much better! I still have electrical shocks and burning pain but NO WHERE NEAR AS BAD as before February!!!! Highly recommend this brand & kind to others! For some it takes 4-12 weeks to feel a difference. Hope this helps you

Love it! It saved my life! Great price here!

I have Pernicious Anemia and this product saved my life...LITERALLY! I started having vague symptoms of numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. I went to the doctor, and nothing was found. 9 months later, the symptoms were HORRIBLE! Entire limbs were "falling asleep" and it was bad. I also had buzzing and vibrating over various parts of my body and it was pretty much constant. As a new nurse, I recalled learning about Pernicious Anemia and the symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency in school. I pretty much diagnosed myself and I found this product at a local health food store. This was the highest dose of the good form of B12 that I could find, and I started taking it 3 times per day because I was desparate. I would lay in bed at night and pray to God that my son didn't find me dead in the morning. That's how bad the symptoms were from this problem. Meanwhile, I was going to another doctor who was testing me for MS, and doing all sorts of test. But, by the time he got around to everything, months and months, and months went by, and slowly my syptoms were getting better because of THIS PRODUCT! I honestly think I would have died had I not found this product and started taking it and treating myself. Another year rolled by before they did blood work regarding intrinsic factor and my stomach lining. (Which I had told the 2nd doctor that I went to that I thought I had a Vitamin B12 deficiency) Once they finally did it, they did find that my stomach lining no longer produced Intrinsic Factor and that I could not absorb B12. Then, I started the injections, and I am much better today. I still do have some vague numbness and tingling because it went too long before it was caught, and I have some nerve damage. I still take this product because here lately there is a shortage of B12 injections at the pharmacy where I live. I cannot imagine why, but I am having a difficult time getting it from any pharmacy in my area. I will always keep this product in my home .I am now ordering it online here at Amazon because I save a ton of money buying it here. I am pleased that I found this on Amazon and I am very happy with the price, therefore, I will continue to order this here. Thank you for the quick shipment and the great price

Sublingual Gold!

Wow! Talk about an extreme difference from my previous B12 supplement that was Cyanocobalamin. There are way too many benefits I have had taking this in a short period of time, but a few crucial ones are: less fatigue, more restful sleep, a lot less back and joint pain and clearer thinking. I would say, because of the positive effects I have had, that my levels were probably nonexistent (from years of PPIs) and the Cyanocobalamin B12 just wasn't cutting it

B12 saved me

I have had trigeminal neuralgia for over ten years. I have found that taking mega doses of sublingual b12 has allowed me to stop prescription medications with their terrible side effects and avoid surgeries for almost two years now. I typically take two or three of these a day and remain pain free. I've used several brands and can't say that one works better than another. This one does take longer to dissolve than others. The flavor is good

Will buy again (with update)

Update 4 years later (March 2021) My lunules are starting to come back. I have been taking one of these daily for over 3 years. If I could afford it, I would double the dose. Original review (January 2017) I'm taking one of these daily. Nice flavor, mild. Trying to get my lunules back. I'll update review to see how long it took. Pro-tip: place one of them between your lip and gum line, then leave it alone for 30 minutes so it slowly dissolves / absorbs. Don't put under the tongue or suck on it. Will dissolve too fast and most of it will mix with saliva and get swallowed

My Dr Recommended and It Works.

I was on B12 shots for a year, and went off only to go back on for another year. I told my doctor that I'm not a fan of sticking myself and I tried good, whole food, B supplements. I even consumed high B12 foods. She said many people cannot break down, and assimilate B12, in their gut and these people must bypass the gut. Then she told 2000-5000mg under the tongue would be preferred over a shot. I took her advice. She recommended this one brand. It has been over a year and a half now and B12 levels are good. Happy, happy, happy

High Potency

Anytime you supplement, you really need to know your body and how it reacts to what you ingest. Vitamins work differently for different people. When I purchased this product as my new B12 supplement, I was aware that the increased dosage could require an increased zinc intake. That's because of the needs of my body and the way it reacts to B12 supplements. No biggie. When I failed to up my zinc intake properly (different for everyone) I experienced an acne type reaction which is not normal for me and which suggested to me (I'm not a doctor or nutritionalist) that it was as highly potent as labeled. When I spread out my intake of this supplement and maintained my current intake of zinc, my skin went back to normal. This appears to be a good and potent supplement

As someone who's severely B12 deficient, you can really feel the difference.

As someone who's been struggling with health for 2 years, my holistic Dr told me that vitamin B12 is only readily absorbable / useable by injection or sublingual (most people lack the enzyme to digest and process B12, whilst some may most cannot). I never believed her until I took this and noticed a major change in all my symptoms. It's absurd that they sell regular B12 on the shelf that does absolutely nothing if your body can't properly absorb it. Everyone's caveat seems to be the length for dissolving but honestly it doesn't bother me, I just rotate where I'm holding it in my mouth and it has a mild cherry flavor

No more exhaustion!

These taste really good. They dissolve quickly under the tongue and are really no trouble to take at all. I can not even begin to tell you how much better I feel when I take these! I am currently taking a whole one and will finish the bottle before reducing to a half dose. I do think the dosage is a little high and would like to try to cut it in half to reduce cost a little and to try to avoid any potential harm. However, it will be experimental as I really do feel great on a high dose. I will definitely be buying these again and again! I have had so much trouble with chronic fatique and have been told by many doctors that I will always have to suffer because of having had mono in the past. Why couldn't they have suggested B12?? This has really helped turn my life around! No more sitting down and resting every 30 minutes. No more 4 hour naps in the afternoon! I hope this will last and isn't too good to be true, but after taking these for a week, I feel better than I have in 10 years
