I take metformin for pre-diabetes. With diet and exercise, I hope to be able to come off of it. But what I noticed after several months of being on it is extreme fatigue. Prior to that, I had been working out twice per day without a problem. Then, I started to feel extremely tired and almost ready to give up on the twice per day workouts. I sweat a lot when I work out so at first I thought that maybe I was a little low in potassium. I tried supplementing potassium and that helped a little but not enough. I got online and I did some research and discovered that for some people, metformin depletes vitamin B12 in their bodies. The research said that it usually takes longer for you to become completely depleted than several months but I decided to supplement with vitamin B12 anyway to see what would happen. I've had other vitamin deficiencies before (including vitamin D deficiency and iron deficency). My doctor said that I wasn't deficient in vitamin D but within weeks of beginning supplementation, a whole host of maladies started clearing up for me. Muscle aches. Joint pain. Depression. Within months, the improvements continued. My hair begin to get thicker when before it had become very thin - and I had attributed that to a thyroid condition but it was the vitamin D. So just because a doctor or research says that it takes several years for vitamin B12 to be depleted by metformin doesn't necessarily mean that this is true for everyone. If you're somebody who maybe doesn't eat right all the time or just started to eat healthy after years of not eating healthy or, like me, you've worked very stressful jobs for years and years, it's possible that you already had mild deficiency to begin with. Maybe several months on metformin can be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back and takes you all the way to complete depletion. I noticed that Zhou Nutrition's Hairfluence hair and nail supplement contained a lot of vitamin B 12 so since I like that supplement, I decided to reorder it and I started taking it faithfully twice per day (which is the recommended dosage). Within a few days, my energy came back up a little. I was able to get through my second workout but still grudgingly. I was having to back down on my speed and intensity. But then I learned about the methyl B12 and how it was a better and more accessible form of vitamin B12. I've been on it about three weeks now I think. The first week or two that I took it, I didn't notice much difference. Then, when I started doing a lot of work in my yard this Spring like digging holes (which takes a lot of energy), planting flowers, trees, and shrubs, pulling weeds, using a push mower on hilly surfaces, and pushing heavy wheelbarrows, etc, etc. I started to see that I was able to power through it even with the two workouts that I'm already doing per day. It really sank in how far I've come yesterday when I was able to get off work and go and help my dad plant azaleas and still come home and do my second workout without a problem. The effects are subtle at first but if you continue to take it, after a couple weeks you will start to notice some more stamina that maybe you didn't have before. I attribute to the methyl B12 because I have not introduced anything else new to my supplementation regimen.

My daughter takes this daily at the guidance of her doctor. Her lab work shows it is working.

This product isn’t proven by the FDA I used it twice, and my had started feel wired

Tastes good and works more effectively than other brands I've tried

Nice flavor and dissolves under your tongue.

One of our favorite supplements of all time! Easy to use, just place 1 cherry-flavored tablet under your tongue and let it melt. It's delicious and delivers some healthy energy. I find it cuts through a bit of brain fog and B12 is a must for everyday nervous system support. No jitters either. One of the few vitamins that I personally notice is helpful same day.
