Jarrow makes a very good sublingual Methyl B12. 1000 and 5000 mcg. You can get them at Whole Foods or online at iherb.com.

Good to know! I will email my primary to see if I can do 5000 mcg daily at least for now. Nice to know about any empty stomach too! The form I got from the pharmacy is rugby brand. Vitamin B-12 Supplement 1000 mcg. On the back is says....Vitamin B-12 (cyanocobalamin) 1000 mcg %Daily Value 16667%. Calcium 23 mg...2%. Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, steari acid, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate. How do I know if it is Methly form? I will have to run to the whole foods....do you know if insurances will pay for this?
Thanks for the advice...it is GREATLY appreciated!!
