Reddit mentions of Jarrow Formulas Methylcobalamin (Methyl B12), Supports Brain Cells, 5000 mcg, 60 Lozenges

> at 250% of your intake you could be putting yourself at a much higher risk for developing prostate cancer

[citation needed]

250% of the RDA of B12 is only about 7 micro grams.

Looking on Amazon, some of the B12 pills go up to 5000 micro grams.

Did that study show anything about the tiny amounts in Red Bull, or is just a bad idea to take a B12 pill?

That's nuts, are all kombuchas like that? I was surprised to see this jarrow b12 I've used has 83,330% the RDA.

r/veganfitness can probably help you better than I can, but as a starter:

• Seitan is very high in protein, very low in calories, and pretty cheap and easy to make.
  
• Rice (or quinoa) and beans make for a good, cheap, protein rich meal.
  
• Lentils/beans/nuts/legumes in general are great sources of protein.
  
• Don't get scared off by the soy myths. Tofu and tempeh are great sources of protein, and super versatile.
  
• I'm a fan of Vega protein powder and NuGo Slim protein bars (Chocolate Mint, Crunchy Peanut Butter, Coconut, and Espresso are all vegan).
  
  Edit: Oh, and don't forget to take B12. I take one of these once a week: https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Methylcobalamin-Supports-Lozenges/dp/B0013OQGO6/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1550855122&sr=8-4&keywords=b12+chewable

• Methyl B12
  
• 5K IU D3,
  
• Fish Oil,
  
• Japanese Probiotic (See the reviews & Google it. It is poorly translated on Amazon),
  
• 'complete' multivitamin (Fe),
  
• as needed MM w/ CBDs of >1.25mg (>2.0mg pref) per g of cannabis (legality depends on your local laws. strain e.g.: 1, 2).

I've used nature's bounty version of liquid b complex on amazon which didn't do a lot, (and contained cyanocobalamin which may be good to avoid) then I tried jarrows lozenges (sublingual tabs) which worked pretty good, then I saw Jarrows even stronger 5000mcg version of it which works extremely well. It gives me energy and even stimulates appetite which I used to get when I would get b12 injections. They are delicious too. No shortage of reviews on amazon either.

I think that a lot of people swallow lozenges like they are capsules. They are meant to be held under your tongue for optimal absorption. This may be obvious to most people in the nootropics community, but not everyone which is why I mention it.

I'm a meat eater, and had a b12 deficiency a few years ago (neurological issues start between 300-400, and I was at 300). I did a sublinqual supplement and am now fine.

Look for liquids or sublinguals. I took https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0013OQGO6/ (which is vegan). It is the methylated version for those that may need it, and the sublinqual absorption helps if you are low in intrinsic factor (the stuff in your stomach that digests b12).

I take these:

It is part of the subscribe and save program which is awesome because I note how often I need them shipped (every 3 months, 4 months, etc.) and it ships them then to me automatically.

Sorry, mcg. This is what I take. One tab at bedtime, melt it on my tongue.

it can kill brain cells if you forget to breathe. take some breathes, maybe get some of this and this and you'll be fine.

I've been practicing martial arts for 10+ years and for the past 3 years I've been vegan (for a variety of reasons). I can easily say that I've never been so powerful, lucid, energetic and fit as I am now. I do not really count calories but I am very careful about how much salt and oil I consume; usually as little as possible, although I do swig on some pickle juice when I feel like I'm a bit sodium deficient. I take a fantastic B12 supplement about once per week (https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Methylcobalamin-Supports-Lozenges/dp/B0013OQGO6/ref=pd_bxgy_121_img_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=FADXRH9112DBKT73QATT) and consistently out-perform almost every single other practitioner in the gym, regardless of rank. I try not to eat before bed, cook for myself as much as possible, and eat lots of whole foods, either raw or minimally cooked.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency




>Tinnitus may be associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.


 


On that note, supplements I say are a MUST for using stimulants:

• Vitamin B12 as Methylcobalamin (sublingual)
  
  
• Ubiquinol with PQQ
  
  
• Venastat
  
  
• Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Glycinate
  
   
  
  
  If you still run into circulation, vasoconstriction, blood flow, or brain fog issues... then look into Perfusia Plus.
  
  If you run into fatigue, lethargy, purple nail beds, pale skin, dark black bags under your eyes, weak nails, easy bruising or bleeding... then look into Ferrasorb or just straight up go for a full on Prenatal Multivitamin which has a lot of iron too.
  
  
  For inflammation, brain fog that isn't made better by B-Vitamins nor Iron, autoimmune issues in general, and generalized weakness across the body... then you can also consider Creatine or Fish Oil

Hi everyone,

I hope I don't get flamed but I searched fittit, googled, checked out the sidebar, researched on Examine, and Amazon -- and I still had some questions. I am trying to get take care of my health better.

I am under 30, M, lacto-ovo vegetarian (allergic to eggs) trying to lose weight, gain muscle overall. I have currently ordered the follow:

• Omega 3 - Algae capsules
  
  
• Opti-Men multivitamin
  
  
• Vintage Burn
  
  
• Methyl-B12
  
  
• Whey protein powder (I take it with hemp seeds (or nuts some nuts), skim milk, banana, and peanut butter powder)
  
  
• and Creatine powder
  
  
• Fiber Pills
  
  How I stack it currently:
  
  Sometimes, I put my creatine powder in my protein shake before I head to work. I take 1 Omega-3 capsule, 1 multivitamin, 1 fiber pill around lunchtime. Then after a mid-day snack at some point, I take 1 methyl-B12. I head to the gym after work, then take another protein shake (this one is just with skim milk and whey powder).
  
  Could anyone provide guidance? Am I on the right track? Thank you so much!

>How did you decide on 5mg?

That's the dosage of Jarrow B12. It seems to be just the right daily dosage for me. On occasion I take more.

I just take these as directed http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Methylcobalamin-5000mcg-Lozenges/dp/B0013OQGO6

This is what I use - once a week.

B12 supplements

>If you argue that someone should switch to a given diet, it is on you to prove that it is safe, not on anyone else to prove it is not.

Sure. But you made a claim that it will lead to premature death. As someone who made a claim the burden of proof falls on you. If you just asked OP to provide proof that a vegan diet is healthy this would be a different situation.

That being said, I can still provide you with evidence that a vegan diet is viable:

Meta study that concluded that there was no effect of vegan diets overall on all-cause mortality.

uridine monophosphate

b9 folate

methyl b12

[omega 3] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001GCU6KA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Bu9uzbJMDYH0V)

DHA

ALCAR

And then I buy all my racetams and what not off eBay

oxiracetam


I wish they had the capsules on eBay but oh well I guess I'll get a MG Spoon

Does this seem about right ? What dosages do you take of all this stuff ? And what times of the day? and with food or no food ?

At 5’8” 150 lbs is a fine weight depending of course on your body fat percentage. 135 lbs IMHO is way too skinny for that height. If you feel your body fat percentage is high then you’re better off doing strength training to convert that fat to muscle and build bone density rather than just cut to get skinny. Muscle mass has a lot of health benefits and it’s easier to maintain then just being skinny. Hell with some solid strength training under your belt you could easily weight more than 150 and look fit. BTW, I’m 5’8” and weight 168 lbs with probably about 15% body fat.

P.S. since you don’t eat meat, I highly recommend you supplement with b12, that is if you don’t already. B12 is really really important especially as you are in recovery. I recommend Jarrow Formula Methylcobalamin sublingual as it is the most bioavailable form and a solid third party tested form. Not sure if you do eggs or dairy or your reasoning for avoiding meat (I respect your choice) but I would also recommend thinking about doing pescatarian, eating fish or at least bivalves. Bivalves especially are great sources of nutrients and pretty environmentally sound food source.

mentioned in that article is Jarrow Methyl B12 5000 mcg thats the one I take. I also try to get shots but have fell off it for a while. But I try to take at least one of those jarrow pills a day. Just put it under my lip for as long as I can.
