A costly sports-performance blend with a very low dose of active B12, making it inefficient as a primary B12 supplement.
This Garden of Life product is marketed as a multi-ingredient 'Energy + Focus' blend, heavily emphasizing its organic and plant-based nature. While it laudably includes Methylcobalamin, the active form of B12, the quantity (220 mcg) is significantly low when compared to other dedicated B12 supplements. Its extremely high price per serving reflects the inclusion of various other organic and antioxidant blends, which may or may not be necessary for a user primarily seeking B12. As a B12 supplement, it delivers poor value, as the B12 component is overshadowed by other ingredients and their associated cost. It's more suited for athletes seeking a broad-spectrum pre-workout or performance blend, with B12 being a minor contributing factor.
- Contains Methylcobalamin, an active and highly bioavailable form of B12.
- Organic and plant-based, appealing to specific dietary preferences.
- Includes other beneficial ingredients like nitric oxide and antioxidant blends.
- Very low B12 dosage (220 mcg) for a product priced so high.
- Extremely high price per serving, offering poor value for B12 content.
- Not a dedicated B12 supplement; B12 is a minor component.
- Designed for specific athletic goals, not general B12 support.
- Should not be considered a primary source of B12; separate, higher-dose B12 supplementation may be needed for adequate intake.

Vitamin B12 30.0
As a Vitamin B12 product, its extremely low B12 content relative to its high price, combined with its primary focus as a multi-ingredient blend, makes it a very poor value for B12 supplementation.
Goals
Energy 30.0
While it contains B12 for energy, the very low dosage means its contribution to energy specifically from B12 is minimal, especially at its high cost; other ingredients likely provide more 'energy'.
Brain Health 30.0
Despite having active B12, the insufficient dose makes its impact on comprehensive brain health negligible for those seeking targeted B12 benefits.
Mood Support 30.0
The extremely small quantity of B12 provided means it offers little to no effective support for mood regulation, especially compared to dedicated B12 supplements.
