NOW Foods Methyl B12 5,000 mcg 120 Lozenges

Methylcobalamin provides the B12 in these lozenges. A serving also includes 680 mcg DFE folate from Quatrefolic 5-MTHF, distinguishing this formula from the same-strength B12-only capsule.

NOW identifies the lozenges as vegetarian and vegan. One lozenge is taken daily with a meal, either chewed or held in the mouth until dissolved and then swallowed. The bottle contains 120 lozenges. Xylitol is included, so the label carries a specific pet-safety warning and directs immediate veterinary care if ingestion by a pet is suspected.
