Hi guys,
I want some suggestions on which methyl b12 should I order next. I started off with NOW foods 1mg sublingual and experienced a lot of startup effects(nerve twitching,etc.). Next, I switched to Jarrow 1 mg as it is mentioned and recommended by most of the people here. However, I did not experience startup effects as I did with NOW. Next, I switched again to NOW and I am experiencing the effects once again. The lot # on my Jarrow is 47092C12 03/2014 and the bottles are plastic.
Do the effects mean that my body responds to the NOW foods mb12 better than Jarrow?
I live in India and have only limited choices of mb12 to choose from.I am taking around 4000 mcg/day(four 1mg NOW sublinguals)and would like to increase my dose.The following options are available here:
1. NOW foods mb12 1000mcg
2. Jarrow 1000mcg mb12
3. Jarrow 5000mcg mb12
4. Country Life mb12 3000 mcg( this has 400 mcg of folic acid also,which I guess is not good)
I was planning to order the 5000 mcg Jarrow, but my personal experience with the 1000 mcg Jarrow and this thread has raised a lot of doubt in my head about the effectiveness of Jarrow.
Should I stick with NOW foods,go for Jarrow, or try out Country Life mb12?
I would like to know your thoughts on this.
oh, thanks, yes, Fredd did post, he said he is no longer able to do the testing on himself anymore as he is too healed and not B12 sensitive anymore.
I guess we have to go on trial and error on ourselves.
