Garden of Life B12 Vitamin - mykind Organic Whole Food B-12 for Metabolism and Energy, Raspberry, 2oz Liquid

ONLY B12 To Use!

A blood test noted that I had a severe B12 deficiency and I immediately went and bought what I thought were high quality supplements. My labs 6 months later showed almost no improvement. My doctor suggested sublingual b12 and I found this. In 6 months my labs were exactly where they should be (536 up from 203).I did find out I have a methylation issue so this was the form of b12 I needed (check out mthfr gene, it's pretty common) but I will take this stuff every day of my life. Without it I have severe fatigue, memory, and focus issues! Just be careful. My husband does not have a methylation issue and was taking my spray too because he thought it helped with seasonal depression. His labs showed an excess of B12 so it might be too much for someone who is not deficient. Oh, and don't touch your mouth to the sprayer and wipe it off or the bacteria might create mold

Fantastic!

I went to vegetarian to full on vegan a few years ago. Holy crap does this stuff work! After a few days, my mood has improved 100%. In the morning I practically bound out of bed ready to go whereas before, I could literally stay in bed for hours. For the first time in years, I've caught myself laughing out loud to myself watching or reading things humorous. I was startled at first. I thought what the heck? I feel great! I did some research and it turns out some people can be quite depressive without proper B-12. It's theorized it's crucial in the mylenation of nerve cells and the body making neurotransmitters. Also my periodic skin rashes have disappeared too. This has been amazing for me

MOLD GREW ON IT

UPDATE: i purchased 2 of these sprays but occurred i opened one and within a few weeks MOLD became very present on the top of the sprayer. i opened the second bottle and the same issue occurred. i will never purchase this again. disgusting. and btw i had the first bottle on the shelf and then moved it to the fridge and the same issue occured ] I purchased 2 of these sprays and I use them daily. I opened my first bottle and since there were no instructions on how to store it I just left it on my shelf...that was not a good idea! I left for vacation and came back for about a month and a half. When I opened the box up again there was green fuzz or what looked like mold all over the spray top. I was completely disgusted but when I opened the bottle there was no mold inside so I just washed the top off and used it again. I suggest anyone who opens there's to store it in the fridge because after I stored it in the fridge there was no more green fuzz. Idk why that happened to mine but now I just stay safe and refrigerate all my vitamins and minerals just to be safe. Oh and I gave it 3 stars because althoughthere it didn't help me, the mold fuzz was what threw off most of the points. It would have been nice to print directions for storage especially since the shelf just didn't cut it. Also another reason why I gave it 3 stars is because I rarely eat meat and have recently became vegetarian. This product didn't increase my energy or change anything else. I kind of feel like it was a waste of money... But at leaste it tastes great :

Everyone should know this

Before I start my review I would like to say that people trust me when it comes to my opinion in what we put in our system, that's why I'm leaving this review. My sport requires me to do a blood test every four months or every six months. My B12 was very low. I looked for a lot of option Vegans because I'm vegan. My doctor recommended me that if I use B12 vegan that might not be strong enough and I should use the medical pills instead. I still did my research, and I stared using this product. 4 months later - 2 weeks ago - my doctor was shocked! My B12 was actually pretty high lol. I was/still taking 3-4 sprays every morning. And you have to wash it after you use it because this stuff is really organic and they can get rottened. The only thing that I'm having a hard time is not finding what is the dose? I will 10000000% recommend it. Thank you so much for helping being vegan easier thing. We need more REAL products in the market like this

Superior; highly recommended for vegans.

Super product. I've been using a very expensive B-12 vitamin patch for the past couple of years for timed release superior absorption. I've come to believe that the trade-off wasn't giving me the best results for the price. While B-12 patches have been the standard, for my lifestyle, they are too short-lived on the body and too costly. Very glad that GOL, a brand I trust and have gone to for years, has this option. Organic, spray B-12. Not too sweet. I get no nasty chemical taste from this product, which kind of surprises me. But then again, no. This isn't a chemical soup, but an organic, plant based supplement whose delivery system allows near instant absorption into the system. Although I have a pretty good diet, exercise, and supplement routine, I believe this product has boosted my B 12 levels better than the patches. Daily use first thing in the morning has provided a kind of long term clarity and energy level. No, I've not had blood work recently, but I'm fairly in tune with my body, and I think it's a safe guess that this product has provided more B 12 to my system than the much more expensive patch system. Highly recommended for vegans looking for a good plant based B 12 that is organic. Think you'll be pleased

It works

This is a great product. Easy to swallow, flavor is good and easy to absorb. Just spray 2-3 under your tongue in the morning and lift your head back for 1-2 mins. ( Just so it stays under your tongue). After a week I have seen changes. I feel better, more energise and my appetite is back. Will definitely recommend this product. It's a life changer

Helps my fibromyalgia

I always buy gol, even after they sold out to Nestle, what else do I have?? I noticed a little bit more of a medicinal taste after they sold out but now it's starting to taste like the original. With fibromyalgia, they recommend 5000 MCG B12 twice per day, but I've done this and other brands that have fillers that I react to and the most incredible thing about the GOL B12 is that I need 1000mcg of it compared to the other. I think it's because it's way more absorbable. This also makes it last a lot longer. I got the fibromyalgia after I got off steroid medicines that I was crazy enough to take for years. In order to get well, the first thing I had to do was remove dairy, soy, and corn, as a vegetarian this decreased my B12 even further. I was getting a fair amount of B12 from my soy milk and fortified cereal. So, I just take more of the GOL B12. I feel awesome. For anyone else who has fibromyalgia, I entirely recommend the gaps protocol oh, I'm doing a vegetarian version which basically looks close to a raw vegan diet. Very quick turn around depending on how quickly you go into it. Also, I'm using licorice for my adrenals and I'm having to rebuild my bones after steroid use using calcium

Finally, a B12 that works for me :)

Finally, a B12 that works for me! I have been testing low for B12 the past few yrs, (ever since first being tested) and was taking tablets by a variety of different makers. I never felt any difference. I finally read that I should try a liquid form, and voila - I feel so much better. I believe I have a problem absorbing B12, and therefore I really need it in a liquid. For me, it helps with my energy levels and improves my overall mood. If I leave it at work or forget for a few days, I can tell by about day 3-4 that I'm missing it. I will noticably feel more irritable. I stress: Noticably More Irritable.... It's not a cure-all or magic potion, but it helps enough that I will always take a liquid B12 supplement. Per doctor instructions, I took it everyday for the first month, and then tapered down to 3-4 times a week. Side note- I don't always feel comfortable that it is 8000% of the RDA, and may try a lower dosage next year. If you have a B12 deficiency, you will want to try this. Also ask your dr. to test you, if it's not already part of your annual bloodwork. I had to insist on the testing, and I was low in both B12 and D. Both vitamins affect mood and energy levels. Additional thoughts - I find the taste fine, not too sweet or too tart. Really I don't even notice any taste anymore. I do keep it in the refridgerator, even though not required. I have been using for 5 months now, and can still tell if I miss more than 3 days in a row. Note it has no effect on weight-loss for me. That's not why I was taking it, but a lot of marketing claims it helps in weight loss, which it does not for me

Small but powerful product, great flavor!

My 17 year old son used to complain of fatigue, headaches and dry lips all the time. Took him to the doctor about a year ago and he was referred to the Allergist. They did a bunch of tests and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. After reading the reviews I decided to give this product a try and thanks God I did! After 3 days of using this product I started noticing that he had more energy than usual. After a week his dry lips improved a lot and he has not had any headaches so far. Therefore, I think this product really works! He takes one spritz every day in the morning. I don't usually write reviews but I hope my testimony can help others the way other reviews helped me

A lifesaver

My healthy, fit, adult daughter was having daily issues such as tingling legs and feet, numbness, always tired, short breath, losing her balance, lightheadedness, crummy memory. It went on several months and her worry about being alone with her little ones during the day was causing panic attacks as soon as he left for work. After numerous trips to the hospital and every test possible docs had no answer except here take this pile of painkillers? It culminated in a seizure at an amusement park and 911 to a medical university hospital. They found nothing wrong. I believed her iron was tanking and b12 deficient, but docs said no. They do not know all and you must advocate for your loved ones! She started on probiotics, essential enzymes, ashwaganda to calm her and this b12 spray along with high iron foods. In only 2 weeks her issues almost completely went away and 5 weeks later there's nothing wrong with her. The only thing I would change about this product is put it in a glass bottle with a dropper! Organic spray from a plastic bottle with a plastic sprayer is a bit of an oxymoron. Not to mention environmentally unfriendly
