Easy to Take
By J. Wells
This is a very easy supplement to take if you are suffering from anemia from a vitamin B-12 deficiency. MethylCobalamin is the preferred form because it is the form the body is ready to use.

If you use cyanocobalamin, you are ingesting tiny and harmless amounts of cyanide, something your body doesn't need--and your body has to do the work of converting it to the methyl form.

The purpose of sublingual has to do with people who have low stomach acid and cannot get enough from their food. With this form of supplement, the vitamin is going directly to your bloodstream, bipassing the gastro-intestinal system. Just let it dissolve slowly under your tongue and move it around every so often. For those suffering from fatigue, this is an inexpensive and easy thing to try.

You probably know some elderly folks who get B-12 shots. This is because as we age, we produce less stomach acid and can get less B-12 from food and oral supplements. This supplement is an excellent alternative to the B-12 shots and far less expensive. Studies show that sublingual B-12 is almost as effective as the shots and since you can take it every day, at this price, it is a no-brainer. Plus, the B-12 shot is in the form of cyanocobalamin and therefore they limit how often you can get the shots--because they don't want you getting too much cyanide built up in your system and harming you. Makes sublingual sound much better!

This supplement tastes good, dissolves slowly under the tongue and is the best form of this vitamin for those who need it at a great value.

Excellent Remedy for Canker Sores - At a Great Price !
By T-Shan
These Source Natural sublingual B-12 tablets are a wonder drug for those who suffer from canker sores. I had purchased Avamin Melts which have the same bioactive form of B-12 (methylcobalamin), which worked like a charm but were quite expensive. This bioactive B-12 is instantly absorbed by the mouth lining and reduces incidence, duration, and pain of mouth sores. As long as I take 1 or 2 tablets a day, my canker sores never form. If I get one, I take a few times each day and they disappear VERY fast. I wish these were around years ago. There have apparently been clinical trials using this form of B-12 which substantiates the effectiveness in healing and preventing canker sores. I order these using the Subscribe & Save option for periodic deliveries.

Side benefits of these B-12 tablets is improved cell growth and replication (more for cell healing/immunity than for "energy" that another reviewer was looking for). I can also say that it does also help with sleep/wake cycles as advertised.

Doesn't dissolve under my tongue
By Peggy
I've been taking this product for over a week and for what ever reason this tablet does not dissolve under my tongue. It has not reached its expiration date, so I'm rather perplexed. Now I crush it somewhat and place it under my tongue. I plan to try a different sublinqual brand. Before deciding on which type of B12 to take, I encourage you to read the book, Could It Be B12?: An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses, also available on Amazon or possibly at your local library. This book has very valuable and interesting information.
