Jarrow Formulas Methyl B-12 Review

Jarrow Formulas Methyl B-12 Lemon - 1000mcg (2-Pack) is described on the page as a biologically active form of vitamin B12 that helps support cellular energy production, sleep, and brain health. The product is a chewable tablet, and each lemon and other natural flavored tablet delivers 1000 mcg of vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin. The page states that Jarrow Methyl B-12 supports brain and nerve health, cellular energy production, healthy cell replication, and red blood cell production. It also says that methyl B12 is required for the normal metabolism of homocysteine, supporting its conversion to methionine. Research is cited suggesting that methyl B-12 is better retained in the body than cyanocobalamin, and the page notes that supplementation may be needed by some vegetarians and vegans. Clinical studies are described as showing that methyl B12 supplementation can be useful for vitamin B12 deficient people. The suggested use is one chewable tablet once a day or as directed by a qualified healthcare professional. The Supplement Facts panel lists a serving size of one tablet, with vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin at 1,000 mcg, shown as 41,667% Daily Value. The other ingredients are xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid from a vegetable source, natural flavor, magnesium stearate from a vegetable source, citric acid and silicon dioxide. The page states the formula does not contain wheat, gluten, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts or sesame. Key ingredient labels on the page are non-GMO, vegan and gluten free. The page includes a warning to consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant, nursing, under 18, taking medication or having a medical condition, and to discontinue use if adverse reactions occur. It also says to keep out of reach of children and to store in a cool, dry place. A note says the color of the product naturally varies in different shades of pink. The listing is a 2-pack of 100 chewable tablets per bottle, described as a 3 month supply, at a price of $25.98, with a subscription option at a 15 percent discount. The page also carries a general statement from Jarrow Formulas, founded in 1977, about formulating with published science and using methylated B12 and folate rather than synthetic forms. The statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, and the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
