Seeking Health Hydroxo B12 - Vitamin B Supplement for Energy Support - Supplement with Folate to Support Methylation & Homocysteine Levels - 2000 mcg, 60 Lozenges

Fantastic b-12 supplement, should be in every multivitamin. Seriously, What are vitamin companies thinking defaulting to either a cyanide version of b-12, or a methylated version (which can make a lot of people over-methylate)? Enter Hydroxo B12. A natural form that’s safe for everyone. Thank goodness Seeking Health is around.

This has been a great product for my daughter.....supported her b12 and stabilized her mental health

Recommended by my doctor. Flavor is good and doesn’t have a vitamin taste to it. Happy so far with results.

Love this B12!

Pluses and minuses. A big plus is no mag stearate lubricant coating on the powder particles - so it's pure, and is supposed to get absorbed well. Hydroxy B-12 is a hard to find form of this vitamin. My family member and I are people who can't take methyl form of this vitamin and my family member really likes it. . I personally have an allergy to corn, so any cross-contamination or derivative makes me sick, so does this product. Sadly for the corn-allergic community I'm a member of - none of more then 2000 members have found a corn-free version of this vitamin, which is desperately needed by many. My family member, on the other hand, seems to tolerate it well and enjoys the benefits of it fully, they find it very effective and feel good while taking it. I am giving it 5 stars based only on my family member's opinion - they insisted that the product deserves it. It's tragic for people with health issues like mine, that nobody has come up with a product that is truly universal and has none of those unnecessary additives to enhance flavor/aroma/etc - I see that there's a huge market for that level of "purity"...

Several years ago I began feeling a whole host of symptoms, fatigue, extreme muscle pain, numbness, extreme short term memory loss etc. Thought it was menopause. I got checked by my doc and everything came out normal except I had low B12 (250), Vitamin D (22) and Zinc was 60. Even at 250 I had debilitating symptoms. So I began to supplement with sublingual B12 (methylcobalamin). With 2 days I began to feel better, but what was really worrisome was being wired to the point of being completely unable to sleep with heart palpitations that felt like my heart would jump out of my chest. I told my doc and she had no answers, she just told me to "keep trying" and offered injections which I rejected due to fear of the insomnia. I lowered my b12 dose to just 25-50mcg/day, but STILL had wired symptoms, I stopped the B12 completely and over the next 2 years I upped my Vitamin D and Zinc but still didn’t feel significantly better. Long story short through extensive research reading online B12 forums I discovered some people become hypokalemic (low potassium) after supplementing with any form of B12 due to the B12 building DNA, building new cells (RBCs and other blood cells) These "new" cells will take up the Potassium and internalize it intracellularly (Potassium is mainly intracellular) and therefore your extracellular Potassium will diminish as a result. So now after I take my morning B12 sublingual if I start to get heart palpitations, feel the jitters coming on, I drink a can of low sodium V8 juice which has 1100mg potassium and within an hour I'm calm, relaxed and back to just feeling good, and the BEST PART...I sleep so damn good now, like I did in my teens, I can multi-task like never before and I’m no longer planning 2 level cervical disc fusion surgery because my neck/back pain is almost completely gone. I realize most people don't get this kind of weird side effect from B12, but if you are like me load up on potassium: coconut water, V8, bananas or a potassium supplement.

This is probably my fourth bottle of his stuff. And this last one definitely did not taste the same as the others! It has a strange sour/bitter/iodine taste to it. For people who did not know what the original tasted like it might be fine, but I definitely don’t prefer this. Based on comments from other reviewers, it seems that they have changed the formulation. I still muscle test well for it so I’m assuming (hoping) the good stuff is still good.

I've been using this for a couple of years now and I Really love this product. It's been one of my staples in my daily supplement regiment. Especially when I'm feeling frazzled and anxious I will reach for these and A Bio available Multi v complex and these will typically have me feeling better within a couple of hours. I'm sure to hold the tablet under my tongue And let it melt slowly as a sublingual should be taken.

Great easy melt in mouth sublingual b12 tastes great and good for energy
