leaderboard Score 78.0
A B12 and folate lozenge offering 1000 mcg of cyanocobalamin with enhanced sublingual absorption, providing good synergistic support at a fair price.
Dose: 2000mcg, Quantity: 90
This Solaray product combines 1000 mcg of Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) with folate in a lozenge form. The lozenge format is a significant advantage, as it allows for sublingual absorption, bypassing the digestive system and enhancing bioavailability compared to standard tablets, even for cyanocobalamin. The inclusion of folate is synergistic with B12 for many metabolic and neurological functions. While it uses cyanocobalamin, the sublingual delivery helps improve its efficacy. Its good price point makes it an appealing choice for a B12/folate combination with enhanced absorption.
- Lozenge form promotes sublingual absorption, enhancing bioavailability.
- Combines B12 with Folate for synergistic benefits.
- Good dosage (1000 mcg B12) for general supplementation.
- Reasonable price per serving.
- Natural Cherry Flavor.
- Uses cyanocobalamin, a synthetic form that still requires some conversion.
- Folate form is unspecified, likely Folic Acid (less preferred than methylfolate for some).
- Individuals with MTHFR mutations might still benefit more from methylfolate and methylcobalamin, as the full benefits of this product's forms might not be realized.
