How many micro grams (mcg) of methylcobalamin are in this formula? Many makers use only a small amount (say 50 mcg) just so they can say it's in it.

Well Andre, according to the label it has a lot more than 50 mcg. In fact it says 5000 mcg. So from my investigation it favorably compares to other top brands.

This information is clearly posted on the label in the picture. It is also posted in the product description.

It says on the front of the spray bottle: "B-12 Methylocobalamin Vegan Certified". 1 fl. oz, 500 mcg spray. On back: 1 serving (spray), 175 servings per container. 500 mcg is 8333% of #DV. Yes, it says 8333% DV. Other ingredients: Purified Water, Vegetable Glycerine, & Potassium Sorbate (preservative). I usually just spray it on my tongue once a week and haven't noticed any adverse effects. Hope this helps. Let me know if these "Other Ingredients" are not good.

For adults older than 19 (including pregnant and breastfeeding): 1,100 mcg/ 1.1 milligrams per day is the recommended daily amount.

Methylcobalamin is a source of B12 for the body, there are really two absorbable forms, methylcobalamin and Cyanocobalamin. The second is mixed with cyanide, not in dangerous levels but still its a form. Methylcobalamin is much easier for the body to absord the b12 enzymes, therefore giving you the better dosage over what you maybe consider the standard B12. The simple answer is that Methylcobalamin is Vitamin B12. Hope that helps.

There is only one chemical difference between the two. Cyanobalamin is the one used most. Methylcobalamin is becoming more popular. Hoping Alive will switch. The reason Companies use cyanobalamin is it is cheaper and is believed not to have side effects

In the photo it says "1,000 mcg". That is per pill. The recommendations are ..."As a dietary supplement, take 1 - 3 capsules daily, in divided doses, with meals." I hope this was helpful to you! :)

Good question- 150 mcg is a tiny dose. I wouldn't buy this product because of its dilution. I can add my own water if I want a diluted product.

There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin. If you eat meat, you don't need a B12 supplement. If you are vegan, you also probably may not need to take a supplement but it is still suggested. The adequate dose is 5 micrograms/day. Most available supplements are anywhere from 500 - 5,000 mcg. Take the 500 mcg. once a week. The high concentrations are meant to correct actual diagnosed B12 deficiencies in people who may not be able to absorb it normally, but for most of us, these excessive amounts appear to be safe and nontoxic. Sublingual is the suggested form. There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin.

B-12 comes in two forms when entering the buddy as a supplement. Methylcobalamin is the active form of B-12, cynocobalamin is the inactive form. The difference? Cynocobalamin has to go through the liver before it can be used as B-12 in the human body. So u don't get the effect of B-12 as quick as you would if you took methylcobalamin. I take both forms everyday. I take cynocobalamin in the morning, and methylcobalamin 1-3x per day after food.
