Best Supplement for Insomnia: Jarrow Formulas Extra Strength Methyl B-12 & Methyl Folate - 100 Chewable Tablets, Lemon Flavored - Bioactive Vitamin B12 & B9 - Cellular Energy and Cardiovascular Support (Packaging May Vary)

Great For Anxiety, Insomnia & Calms The Nerves

I have the MTHFR gene mutation which can cause physiological anxiety symptoms and was looking for a soluble methyl-folate (I find soluble/sublingual/lozenge to absorb better than swallowing pills). I found this one from Jarrow to be incredible. I feel it working almost immediately, and get the full effect in about 15mins. When I feel shaky, weak or anxious I suck or chew on a tablet and it starts to calm my body down almost immediately. I take 2 a day and have definitely noticed a big improvement in how I feel. It also helps me when I have Insomnia and feel anxious/jittery at night and can't sleep. One of these, and it soothes me into a calm sleep. I literally don't leave the house without it. Highly recommend

The reviewer who said they taste like stale lemon pez was pretty spot on

I started taking this about a month ago after having been diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis. I suspected a mthfr mutation as well and wanted a supplement that would still work for me if that was the case (which has since been confirmed). I have been taking this regularly at 1/4 dosage. I have found my sleep to be greatly improved. I didn't make the connection right away but when I forgot to take the supplement for 3 days my Insomnia had returned and upon taking the supplement again my sleep improved. I take this after my lunch since most supplements need to be taken a few hours after thyroid medication. I will continue to purchase this and will gradually increase my dose. The reviewer who said they taste like stale lemon pez was pretty spot on. Not a bad taste, fairly mild. I have had no negative effects whatsoever

Insomnia, anyone?

I don't know what cocaine feels like, but I'm guessing what this made me feel was similar to that. Not sure if that's a good thing if you like your rest (I do). The first day I took this I could not sleep. Eight hours in bed, tossing and turning, heart and mind racing, palms sweating. Not Jarrow's fault though. I will be taking this early in the morning, perhaps once or twice a week at most

Not what I expected

I was out of my 5000mcg for about a week and my muscle twitches were coming back in full force so I thought I would give this a try as it seemed to have other benefits and came at a reduced price. Although this has a better taste than I was expecting, did not give me jitters as some claimed, the biggest downfall to it was I ended up with severe Insomnia. It did help my mood and energy levels but did not help with my peripheral neuropathy and the Insomnia was horrendous. I have gone back to the 5000mcg which does help with my neuropathy and I'm no longer suffering Insomnia. I am not suggesting this isn't a good product for someone else. It just wasn't the right product for me

Easy to cut in half, a big plus when you can't take as large a dose of methylfolate.

These work for me, taking half a tablet at a time. The folate dosage was too strong for me personally if taking a full tablet (gave me Insomnia, a known side effect of too much; this was coupled with getting half a dose in my multivitamins in the morning and then taking this in the afternoon). That said, these tablets are easily cut it half, and that just means they will last me twice as long, so a definite win! I love that they are sublingual and the taste is also very good
