Natural color variation may occur in this product. Shake well before use. In the morning, take 1 teaspoon, hold in mouth for 30 seconds, then swallow. Take with a meal. Refrigerate after opening to maximize freshness.

Seems to put more pep in my step
I started these a bout 2 weeks ago and I seem to feel more energy and alert – able to focus better on my work and not as tired by mid day. Glad I gave them a try. Taste is not soo bad – reminds me of cough syrup. As directions recommend I put under my tongue in morning befoe my coffee & bagel breakfast.

Vegetarians — you need to get this!!!
This is an absolutely wonderful b-12 supplement for anyone but especially for vegetarians. I recommend it to vegetarians who don’t eat meat or fish so they get enough b-12. It has two forms of co-enzyme b-12 as well as the cyano form. I also like that it has a supporting b complex that is not an overload. You actually WANT the complex to be less. Otherwise you can get a B-imbalance. So this is perfect. I buy it all the time and I highly recommend it.[Update 8/25/2014]This product should be used with caution (especially for older people). I found out something interesting about Folic Acid. It turns out that high doses of folic acid (which is the synthetic form of folate) is being linked to undesirable results in the body. This product has a high amount of folic acid. Folic acid has to be converted to folate in the body and when we get older, we can lose that ability so therefore higher doses of folic acid can be undesirable. Since I am older, I am no longer going to use this product because of the high concentration of folic acid. This is a shame because everything else about this product is very good. It is only the folic acid that can be bad for us older folks. If they switched the folic acid ingredient to folinic acid then I would start taking it again.I’m still keeping it at 5 stars because for younger folks this should be fine since a younger person can more than likely handle a higher dose of folic acid.If you are interested, I have switched to taking the regular (not ultra) B-12 of this same brand to get a broad spectrum B complex. It has a much lower dose of folic acid but it also does NOT have the co-enzyme b12 which is not as good. I only take about half the dosage. I then supplement with Methyl-B12 (co-enzyme form of B12), P-5-P (co-enzyme form of B6) and Folinic Acid (this form is not the same as folic acid and is safer to use). The Methyl-B12 and P-5-P are NOW Foods brand and the Folinic Acid is Source Naturals.

Liquid Vitamin B-12
This product provides great energy but it has a bitter medicinal taste.

Fantastic Product
I found out through bloodwork that I was super low on B vitamins. My primary suggested I search for a strong liquid vitamin to take daily and I landed here. I can affirm that if you’re already low on B vitamins you will definitely notice an improvement right away within the first few days of starting on this supplement. My brain fog very noticeably cleared up, and instead of waking up in the morning feeling like a zombie I felt like I ACTUALLY rested at night and can now easily accomplish morning tasks that I struggled with immensely prior to taking this. I honestly can’t believe what a difference it makes in my focus and mental processing. I agree with some other reviewers in that it’s not like coffee and won’t give a “buzz” (especially if you’re not low on b vitamins to begin with), but at the end of the work day you will find that you still have the energy to interact with your loved ones and can stay up past 8:00pm whereas before you were probably already burnt out, fuzzy-headed, and craving a nap by lunchtime.

B12を中心としたビタミン COMPLEX、液体なのでペットボトルに混ぜて持ち歩ける。ただし、量の割に値段が高い。値段が変動し過ぎ！！更に高くなったから星を減らす。
