I am taking Source Naturals Methylcobalamin [Vitamin B-12] sublingual tabs in an effort to regenerate damaged peripheral nerves. I have been on this regimen for about a year with no conclusive result, but “these things take time.” Because my condition came after back surgery, I need all the energy I can get to boost recovery, so B-12 cannot have hurt in that regard, and my energy level has been outstanding (circumstantial, I admit). Nonetheless, I can say that if you need B-12 on a continuing basis, sublingual tabs are said to be the most effective means of supplementation, and using Source Naturals on a subscription basis is definitely the most cost- and time-effective way to receive them. This particular formulation is non-medicinal tasting and dissolves quickly.

I went from injections and starting supplementing with sublingual. This was my first sublingual test. I asked an online friend who knows tons about B12 deficiency in which he wrote, “I can’t recommend Source Naturals methylb12 as it was the only one of 11 brands tested that was rated ZERO stars. It had absolutely no noticable effect of any kind on any of the 5 hypersensitive testers. While that was 6 years ago and they may have changed the formula, Jarrow and Enzymatic Therapy methylb12 1mg and 5mg rated 5 stars and was highly effective for all 5 hypersensitive testers.”
I have since purchased another brand, Jarrow, which I do notice an effect. So maybe this product has gotten it right, but I have no reason to believe it. In addition I have been able to get these “better” supplements for literally a fourth of the cost.
I suggest further research and avoid this product unless your research tells you otherwise.

We started using methylcobalamine for our diabetic cat (now regulated via twice-daily insulin shots) when we noticed he was “walking funny.”
The sign of diabetic neuropathy is that the cat begins to walk, with difficulty, on his rear “ankles” instead of on his “tiptoes.” I read about this specific formulation of B-12 as a possible remedy on a forum about feline diabetes. Our vet had never heard of the B-12 supplement for this condition, but our cat could barely walk and we had to try something.
We first tried another brand, and it seemed to work, but it was a lot more expensive. This bottle of pills has made a HUGE difference. Jake is walking just about normally again, after three months of daily pills — administered in quarters with the pill pockets by Greenies.
I’m so grateful to have found the advice about methylcobalamine. Don’t know anything about its benefits for humans, but I’m convinced it’s the reason Jake is walking normally again.

Methyl B12 is a form of B12 vitamin that the body is ready to absorb, as opposed to the other more common form that you would find at vitamin stores, cyanocobalamin. By taking the methyl form, your body does not need to do the extra work converting it to the form that the brain is ready to use. Many autistic kids are lacking the enzyme that is needed to convert the B12 to the methyl form, which the brain needs for things such as eye contact, social skills, etc; so this is a very good product for that kind of need.
At first I tried this product because it has a higher dosage of methyl B12 than you would normally find at vitamin stores. I use this product as part of my son’s bio medical treatment. My son has high functioning autism and responded really well with this product. I also tried it and could feel the increased awareness and concentration.
When taking B12 vitamin orally, you have to let it dissolve slowly in your mouth so you can get as much as possible into the bloodstream and by bypassing the digestion. If you simply swallow it, it would just go directly into your digestive system and get secreted right away through urine. That’s why the shots are very effective for extreme B12 deficiency because then it goes directly into the blood stream. I highly recommend this product especially if you need to try out your tolerance for methyl B12 before trying out other forms. Knowing that my son responded well to the oral methyl B12, I started him on the methyl B12 shots and saw huge improvements; he used to hit, kick, and scream at school, and was very impulsive, but as soon as he started the shots he no longer has those issues AT ALL.
This one tastes good, and if you just put it behind your upper lip, and move it around every now and then, you don’t even have to think about it until it fully dissolves.

Best tasting methyl B-12 I’ve found and definitely the best price. These sublingual tablets are a little slower to dissolve than some I have tried, which is not a problem as they are not sticky or grainy. I will definitely stay with this brand!
