Liquid B12 Vitamin Sublingual – All-Natural Liquid Vitamin Vegan B12 Drops – Non-GMO Adenosylcobalamin Methylcobalamin B12 Supplement – Boost Your Immune System, Metabolism, Energy and Focus!USDA Organic

I started using Live Wise Naturals Vitamin B12 Drops due to a suspected B12 deficiency. It turned out not to be the case, but I was pleased with this product nonetheless. I have intestinal troubles so I did not want to tempt fate by using B12 pills. I would rather avoid the lower GI tract altogether. Sublingual drops allow me to do that, as they are mostly absorbed in the mouth. I searched for a brand that does not have added sweetener in the form of xylitol, which I cannot eat. B12 lozenges also contain xylitol. Live Wise was the only brand of B12 drops that I could find that does not contain xylitol or some polyol. Ingredients are: Vitamin B12 as Methylcobalamin, purified water, organic grape alcohol. The grape alcohol imparts a natural sweetness, so I don't know why anyone adds sweetener.I inquired of the company and was told that the alcohol content is 15%. I am not certain if 15% refers to the amount of grape alcohol or the amount of ethanol, but I suspect the former. The difference would be slight, as grape alcohol is typically 190 proof or 95% alcohol. That amounts to 4.5 ml of alcohol per 30ml bottle. There are 180 doses of 1000mcg, 60 doses of 3000mcg, or 36 doses of 5000mcg per bottle. A dose of 1000mcg (5 drops) is about 0.167ml; a dose of 3000mcg (15 drops) is about 0.5ml; a dose of 5000mcg (25 drops) is about 0.833ml. The dropper is not precise, but you can calculate how much alcohol you would be getting if that is a concern. Grape alcohol is used because everything dissolves well in it, it's a good preservative, and it aids absorption in the mouth.Instructions say to shake the bottle, drop the liquid under your tongue, hold it there for 90 seconds, then swish whatever is left for 30 seconds before swallowing. You will need to swallow any saliva that is in your mouth first, or the B12 drops will quickly become diluted. It's not possible to hold more than about 10 drops under your tongue, so you may want to spread higher doses out over the course of the day. You won't be able to hold the drops under your tongue for 90 seconds, as you are producing saliva. The drops either absorb or dilute fairly quickly. But it doesn't matter. Just hold the drops there until they seem mostly gone. The product tastes pretty good, like sweet alcohol. It's bright red, so avoid contact with fabrics. I wish the doses were marked on the dropper, but that is a quibble.

This B12 supplement is FANTASTIC! I've recommended it to sooo many people already. I purchased it because I was told by my doctor (after blood work) that I was severely deficient in B12. I was having daily migraine headaches, numbness is my fingers and toes, depressed mood, trouble eating and sleeping, and I was extremely fatigued 24/7. I couldn't get out of bed most days and I would literally sleep the entire day. I'm a hypochondriac and immediately assumed I was dying or I had cancer or something equally dramatic.After doing a lot of research, I decided to go with this product because of the minimal additives and other factors I won't bore you with. It has been a life-saver for me. It took a couple of days to start feeling better, but once (I'm assuming) the B12 level had a steady consistency in my system, I started feeling like myself again. I have energy, the migraines stopped, the numbness in my extremities has improved, I'm not fatigued 24/7, and I generally feel a lot healthier.I'm not sure why other reviewers complain about the taste because there isn't one at all. There is a slight tingling feeling from the grape alcohol but it's nothing that's intolerable, and you can trust me on that because I'm a baby about pretty much everything.I'm very vocal about this product because my vitamin B12 deficiency, although severe, took away my livelihood at 29 years old. I tried the B12 shots at my doctor's office and they would work for about a day or so, but then I'd crash really hard and feel worse than I did before the shot. If taken consistently, which is every day for me, this product can seriously change your life. If you're suffering like I was, please give it a try. You won't regret it.

Excellent product for the Money! Quality

Okay, idk how effective it normally works for most people but it seemed to have worked pretty fast for me. Either the very next day or two days after i took it, i got an urge to go workout after taking a hiatus for a few months, so im guessing it gave me the energy that i needed. I went to the doctor to get a blood test and she perscripted me vitamin b12 (cyan, of course), and i knew i just wasn't gonna take the kind she wrote up for me to pick up at Walgreens around the corner from me. I started taking two servings a day (one at day and one at night) for close to a week before i got a headache and i figure it was from taking too much, so i switched back to one. I haven't been as drowsy since taking it, with the vitamin D i bought. I also was suffering from bleeding gums almost every time i brushed my teeth, and i found out bleeding gums are a side effect of b12 deficiency after i started taking it, so that made me convinced it works! Unfortunately, im only giving it a 4 and not a 5 because the amount of ppl saying Live Wise shorted them of the expected servings. I tried to keep track but was derailed after i clumsily spilled a quarter of the bottle on my computer desk. (SMH) It works, though. Next time i buy it, i'll keep close count to the servings though. But if you're looking for efficiency, it definitely works and i'd recommend it over anything the doctor writes up! (And no, this isn't a fake or paid review.)
