This is what is on WebMD: Vitamin B12 is used for treating and preventing vitamin B12 deficiency, a condition in which vitamin B12 levels in the blood are too low. It is also used to treat pernicious anemia, a serious type of anemia that is due to vitamin B12 deficiency and is found mostly in older people. For this purpose, people use either a supplement that is taken by mouth or a gel that is applied inside the nose. Vitamin B12 is also used for memory loss; Alzheimer's disease; boosting mood, energy, concentration and the immune system; and slowing aging. It is also used for heart disease, lowering high homocysteine levels (which may contribute to heart disease), male infertility, diabetes, sleep disorders, depression, mental disorders, weak bones (osteoporosis), swollen tendons, AIDS, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergies, a skin disease called vitiligo, preventing cervical and other cancers, and skin infections. Hope that helps.

It helps with memory especially as you get older and your body can absorb the sublingual much better. The nervous system, metabolism, and restless leg syndrome.

I take it to help my body absorb iron better. I see a hematologist for chronic anemia and he recommends B 12 for that.

It helps the brain and nervous system and aids the production of blood cells. Deficiency is not uncommon and my doctor recommended the sublingual type as it absorbs faster and more effectively than regular pills. Hope this helps.

Used for Heart & the Prevention of Strokes - However, if you are interested get the Sublingual B12 - Cherry Flavored - DO NOT TAKE THE COATED PILLS AS THEY MAY NOT DISSOLVE.

methylcobalamin is the only ingredient. methy B-12 is the coenzyme form of B-12. it rids the body of the toxin homocysteine.

Hi Debbie..These are sublingual tablets that you hold under your tongue, and let them melt in your mouth. They're about the size of an M&M, and are cherry flavored. They are better than other b-12 meds, which the body has to turn into methylcobalamin. And if you swallow one accidently, it shouldn't be a problem. I've done it a couple of time. I'd reciommend this one to you without hesitation

B-12 (methylcobalamin), stevia, purified water, natural glycerin, sodium benzoate, citric acid. Good thing I can read fine print!

The 2 you are asking about are pharma grades. if you look at the ingredients the b's are derived from food not chems for natural absorption.

at is a question you need to ask the product manager, or the manufacturer. As a buyer - I don't know. And it doesn't bother me - those pills are great.My B12 is now way over the top normal value, and I only used a small amount of the pills.

Thank you for asking, B3 is Niacinimide. B12 is Cyanocobalamin. I did not have the answers so I called them on 1-800-276-2878 and they gave me these answers, I hope that helps you.

There are two forms of B-12. Cyanocobalamin and Methylcobalamin. Most people can convert Cyanocobalamin to the usable form of B-12 Methylcobalamin, but unfortunately this is not true for everyone. I have used both; injections of Cyanocobalamin and sublingual Methylcobalamin. I do not take regular B-12 tablets as they are not digested well and I was not seeing any change in my condition when using them. The sublingual Methylcobalamin seems to work faster than the injections but I have to take several tablets daily whereas I do one shot every five to seven days. I had to quit the shots for awhile due to nerve damage so the Methylcobalamin was an effective substitution. I think you will find it more beneficial than regular B-12 tablets. Hope this helps!

Not much taste to it. I usually open the capsules and take the B-12 separately (it has a pleasant taste).

I really don't see B12 as being for energy. I am working with an MTHFR defect and this directly replaces the B12 that the enzyme is deficient in recycling. If you plan on using this as a cheap alternative to energy drinks you will probably be disappointed. I do know of people who were vegan and low on B12 without knowing so until diagnosed with neurological problems. Metylcobalamine is the actual type of B12 that the body uses, it does not need to be converted to another form to be active in the methylation cycle.

I found this online. The B refers to the shape of the bulb which is generally a bullet style. The E12 refers to the base which is a Candelabra style. Yes, this is a type B light bulb.

I don't think so. It's just the active form of B-2. There wouldn't be any reason for anything added.

According to the ingredients, no. It is, along with Methycobolamin, used by people who's bodies don't absorb B12 (a mutated Heterozygous gene test will tell you.)

I'm sorry, I used it all and I don't have the package. I'd not heard of the form of B12 you were asking about and looked it up. The new one I'm using, the kirkland brand from Costco is that. I realized what to look for thanks to you and now more informed. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.
