The best I've tried!
UPDATE: This B12 no longer contains alcohol, and tastes better than ever!
Seeing as I choose a mostly vegan diet, I've been hunting for the best b12 supplement for years now. I have had many liquids and lozenge forms over the years, and researched the best forms and methods of b12 for absorption. This is the first formula I've felt a notable effect from, even though it's the same dosage, technically. Shows how much the form (methylcobalamin), alcohol, and minimal other ingredients matter.
If you are used to taking lozenges that stay under your tongue (for many minutes in some cases), you will never go back after trying a good liquid form, such as this. The alcohol that helps it absorb goes largely unnoticed, I can rarely taste it and don't mind it at all when I do. It compliments the delicious cherry flavor well. The cherry itself is not overwhelming or "medicinal" tasting like cherry NyQuil, but is strong enough that you don't forget it's under your tongue for the recommended 30 seconds. I genuinely look forward to squirting it under my tongue every day.
Among the many forms of b12 I've consumed, only this has produced a "boost" I can recognize. I know the downsides of b12 deficiency, and have suffered from them multiple times. For me, this includes low energy levels, brain function, irregular metabolism/mood, etc. All forms have helped combat those, but I feel a "boost" from this stuff. I'm pretty attuned to notice subtle differences in how my brain and body are functioning and I feel more clear and energetic shortly after taking this. It feels very natural (appropriately...I mean "Why not?") and sustainable, like leveling up my base energy level, opposed to a spike from caffeine or similar that ultimately results in a crash to below the base level. I feel the other b12 I've had doesn't produce this effect, but just corrects my deficiency and keeps my functions regular and predictable, but not necessarily increased...if that makes sense.
Honestly, the bottle is even great. It has all the information you could ask for printed on the tasteful, clear label. The dropper (maybe my favorite part) has ultra-convenient measurements right on it, so you're not left guessing how long the bottle will last or how much b12 you are getting. There's not too much or too little going on with the presentation. All in all, it truly seems no corners are cut in the making of this supplement. It follows good manufacturing practices, non-GMO, and MADE IN AMERICA!
Batteries not included, your mileage may vary. Nevertheless, I absolutely believe in this product and feel I no longer have to search around for the best b12 for me.
I hope this has been informative for you, and I'd like to thank you for reading.
