Zhou Methyl B12 - Methyl B-12 Supplement for Women & Men, Vitamin B12 5000 mcg, Vegan Friendly, Cellular Energy and Nerve Function Support, Methylcobalamin - 60 Micro Lozenges

I’ve had great hair growth and flavor is not bad at all!

I take metformin for pre-diabetes. With diet and exercise, I hope to be able to come off of it. But what I noticed after several months of being on it is extreme fatigue. Prior to that, I had been working out twice per day without a problem. Then, I started to feel extremely tired and almost ready to give up on the twice per day workouts. I sweat a lot when I work out so at first I thought that maybe I was a little low in potassium. I tried supplementing potassium and that helped a little but not enough. I got online and I did some research and discovered that for some people, metformin depletes vitamin B12 in their bodies. The research said that it usually takes longer for you to become completely depleted than several months but I decided to supplement with vitamin B12 anyway to see what would happen. I've had other vitamin deficiencies before (including vitamin D deficiency and iron deficency). My doctor said that I wasn't deficient in vitamin D but within weeks of beginning supplementation, a whole host of maladies started clearing up for me. Muscle aches. Joint pain. Depression. Within months, the improvements continued. My hair begin to get thicker when before it had become very thin - and I had attributed that to a thyroid condition but it was the vitamin D. So just because a doctor or research says that it takes several years for vitamin B12 to be depleted by metformin doesn't necessarily mean that this is true for everyone. If you're somebody who maybe doesn't eat right all the time or just started to eat healthy after years of not eating healthy or, like me, you've worked very stressful jobs for years and years, it's possible that you already had mild deficiency to begin with. Maybe several months on metformin can be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back and takes you all the way to complete depletion. I noticed that Zhou Nutrition's Hairfluence hair and nail supplement contained a lot of vitamin B 12 so since I like that supplement, I decided to reorder it and I started taking it faithfully twice per day (which is the recommended dosage). Within a few days, my energy came back up a little. I was able to get through my second workout but still grudgingly. I was having to back down on my speed and intensity. But then I learned about the methyl B12 and how it was a better and more accessible form of vitamin B12. I've been on it about three weeks now I think. The first week or two that I took it, I didn't notice much difference. Then, when I started doing a lot of work in my yard this Spring like digging holes (which takes a lot of energy), planting flowers, trees, and shrubs, pulling weeds, using a push mower on hilly surfaces, and pushing heavy wheelbarrows, etc, etc. I started to see that I was able to power through it even with the two workouts that I'm already doing per day. It really sank in how far I've come yesterday when I was able to get off work and go and help my dad plant azaleas and still come home and do my second workout without a problem. The effects are subtle at first but if you continue to take it, after a couple weeks you will start to notice some more stamina that maybe you didn't have before. I attribute to the methyl B12 because I have not introduced anything else new to my supplementation regimen.

I have tried various methyl B 12 Lozenges that dissolve under the tongue, and have found that this one has been the absolute BEST in regards to dissolving quickly under my tongue, having a good flavor, and giving me quick energy after my lunch meal (which is the timeframe when I kind of have a energy slump). I am the busy mother of a number of children, and have no time to slow down! So, this has been a wonderful solution...and truly worth every penny! I would encourage anyone to give this a try to see if this would help them with any type of energy issues that they might have. It goes a long way, and usually helps give me energy for several hours!

It’s is a very good product and very easy to take.

I can take regular vitamins. I have to have liposomal and methlated vitamins. They bypass or can make it safely through the gastric acids of stomach so the body can readily use them and this tastes good too. I feel the effects within a few minutes. I feel energy and a sense of awareness. It has made a big difference for me.

I've been taking these for over 5 yrs and I'm very happy with them

I expected a surge of sustainable energy from this product. I did not notice a difference in energy level when taking methyl B12. I am not intending to detract from the other reviews, I am just reporting my results with the product and that it is not my favorite energizing product. I will not reorder because it does not seem to make a difference in energy level or other benefit and the tablets are a little too sweet. I did not want to give a star rating because I experienced no side effects. I am taking more than 10 supplements and somewhat disappointed with the methyl B12. I have not tried other methyl B12 products to compare. I would like to mention that I do notice immediate energy from CoQ10 related products and it is fairly important to generate and recharge mitochondria for improved overall health. Mitochondria is one of the theories in aging. I am on a weight loss journey and planning to start taking DHEA to convert fat to lean muscle. I bought Zhou brand Hairfluence to grow hair faster, however the level of keratin and low and maybe the marine collagen will provide the added amino acids. I am finding that it is exciting to improve yourself with supplements, outlook and follow through with just a few adjustments to neurotransmitters. I will keep taking the methyl B12 until I use up the supply yet do not intend to reorder and would not recommend. I bought this product because there were hundreds of almost 5 star reviews. Just supplying my experience if anyone is on the fence about this. I did love it like I thought I would.

These dissolve slowly under my tongue, which is important for B12. My B12 was really low and after taking these a few times a week, my next test was actually a bit over the upper limit. I now take them a bit less frequently. I am very very happy with this product. I keep mine in my refrigerator and I suggest to those who complain of melting to do this as well. It’s important to have regular lab tests for vitamins B-12 and D, for example, to make sure you stay with the limits. Too much can be toxic, and too little can lead to other health issues. This product made a huge improvement in my energy and mental clarity issues.
