Analysis

CGN Gummies offer a high dose of Vitamin B12 (3000 mcg) in a palatable gummy format. The very high review count indicates strong consumer satisfaction and popularity. While the dosage is potent, the product uses cyanocobalamin, the synthetic form, which is less bioavailable than methylcobalamin. Gummy forms, while convenient and enjoyable, typically contain added sugars (3g carbs, 14 calories per serving) and may not offer the same absorption efficiency as sublinguals or liquids, despite the high dose. It's a good choice for those who prefer gummies and are not concerned about the B12 form.

Pros
  • High dosage (3000 mcg) of B12.
  • Convenient and palatable gummy format.
  • Very high review count indicates strong consumer acceptance.
  • Raspberry flavor.
Cons
  • Uses cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form that requires conversion.
  • Gummies contain added sugars/carbohydrates.
  • Price per serving is moderately high for a cyanocobalamin gummy.
  • Gummy absorption may not be as efficient as sublinguals or liquids.
Warnings
  • Individuals sensitive to sugar or seeking the most bioavailable form of B12 might prefer other options without added sugars or with methylcobalamin.

Categories
Vitamin B12 72.0
As a Vitamin B12 product, its high dose and convenient gummy format are appealing, but the use of the synthetic cyanocobalamin form and presence of sugar limit its score compared to more bioavailable and 'cleaner' alternatives.
Goals
Metabolism Boost 78.0
A high dose of B12, even cyanocobalamin, can effectively support metabolic pathways by providing ample substrate for conversion and utilization in energy production.
Energy 75.0
The high dose of cyanocobalamin in a gummy can provide a good energy boost for many, though the gummy absorption might be slightly less efficient than liquids/sublinguals. The sheer quantity compensates somewhat for the form.
Brain Health 75.0
3000 mcg is a robust dose for supporting brain function, but the cyanocobalamin form means it needs conversion, which is less direct for optimal brain health compared to active forms like methylcobalamin.
