How does this compare to Enzymatic Therapy DMG B15 Plus in terms of quality and quantity of B15 as well as the other ingredients?

You are comparing apples and oranges here. 5MTHF is the methylated form of folic acid (which is a "B" vitamin). B15-DMG plus seems to be a formulation of potassium, magnesium and calcium plus DMG, which is a methylated form of the amino acid glycine (and known as B-16 but is synthesized in the human body, unlike other B vitamins). I take 5MTHF because I suspect I don't metabolize folic acid well. I buy from Thorne because I feel they are the most trustworthy way to get 5MTHF outside of a prescription.

I think the quality of this ascorbic acid/vitamin C powder is very good. High quality. Good purity. I haven't seen comparable vitamin c for cheaper. So I thought think this is very fairly priced. Only a very tiny amount is needed as you will see when you read the directions for mixing. Good luck with you serums.

Hi, thank you for your question. It contains Methylcobalamin. Hope this helps :-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylcobalamin This explains things, they are the same thing.

Contains: Cobalamin 1000mcg-this is not the more absorbable Methylcobalamin which is active coenzyme form of B-12. Other ingredients: Mannitol-insignificant amount of sugar alcohol, Vegetable magnesium stearate, Vegetable stearic acid, Vegetable cellulose, Natural cherry flavor w/other natural flavors. When I need the detailed ingredients or doses, I go straight to Vitacost.com and see if they have it and if they carry it, you can get the detailed information under that item. I normally order the Methylcobalamin B-12 so I made a mistake in ordering these and never got around to returning it. I think when I did the review on this item, I reviewed it thinking it was the Methylcobalamin. Good luck!

There are both forms of active B12 - as methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. We have improved the label so it is more clear. The bottle used to state methylcobalamin and coenzyme B12 (which is another name for adenosylcobalamin).

Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites). There may have been some slight labeling changes over the years but I cannot remember. My suggestion would be to ensure that the two products you are comparing are in fact the same (one might be isolate vs non-isolate, or size of the container, or the "Dessert" product vs the "Syntha-6" product). I'm not sure what you are referring to by "PD" and Exp", sorry. I understand your caution about trying something new but both my personal testimony and the aggregate of reviews on Amazon should provide you some confidence that you are purchasing a great product. Anything beyond that, you're just going to have to try it for yourself. Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites).

I have tried Now Foods liquid B complex. The Vegan one is vegan, I think you mean how can it be a vegan multi without b12. regardless, it is rare for anyone even for vegans to be deficient in B12 despite urban myths that state otherwise. Your body naturally produces enough. If you are concerned, I recommend that you get a blood work up before spending a bunch of money on supplements that you may not need.

Tim, you may have to look elsewhere online for that info. I will say though, as a vitamin expert this is one of the finest mineral products I have ever used. Still using it. What makes it different is NOT the label, its the QUALITY which imho is superior to other brands.

I am not a chemist so I cannot answer as an expert, just as a user of Enada NADH for more than a decade who switched to Source Naturals brand when Enada's patent ran out and others began producing it cheaper. Neither I nor my husband have noticed any difference. Both deliver the energy, memory power, and sense of well-being for which we are looking. I chose Source Natural as they have an excellent reputation for quality. It is what we sent to my husband's brother to take right after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. He went from not being able to walk, talk, write, nor feed himself very well to improvement in days (10 mg per day) and then on to doing all those things effectively again in weeks. I think those results, which would be expected from the Enada brand, speak well of the Source Natural's brand. I hope that is helpful.

For what it's worth, on the Dr. Axe web page addressing vitamin B12 deficiency, he provides a link recommending this brand as a supplement after first having said, "When buying a vitamin B12 supplement you will want to look for it in the form of methylcobalamin or hydroxycobalamin rather than cyanocobalamin because these forms or more natural and better absorbed by the body." Given his knowledge of the ideal forms for assimilation, I'd like to think he would suggest products that fit the criteria.

It is 1000 mcg. not mg. so it is a 1mg dose and it is slow release. I am vegan and have been using it for years, my regular MD assures me that my B12 is fine, so I can only assume it is doing the job it is supposed to do.

Interestingly, I have a bottle from 2 years ago which contains exactly the same amounts (500mg Folic Acid, 55mg Selenium, 200mg Calcium), so I'm not sure where they got the "now with more" from.It's a great formula, though -- there's a noticeable difference in my skin quality, hair & nail growth, etc when I am using it compared to when I stop for a week or two.

Not true! I put it in my review of the product too, but I have been taking this vitamin off an on 2-4 times a week for about 5 months and my B12 has gone from 90 to 491 on a strict vegan diet. The vitamins are working great for me.

I was suprised too. I have an old bottle that actually used to have B121 listed. Then one day it wasn't on the label. I now used a vegan multivitamin powder that absorbed easier and goes well intomy shakes.

Hi Frances...I don't know the answer, sorry, but it was recommended by my vascular surgeon. I understand that the other kind of B-12 (cyancobalin) is only partially converted to methylcobalamin by the body. The label skirts the issue. It says it is manufactured in a facility that meets FDA rerquirements, but then says the food and drug administration has not commented on the validity of the statements made on the label.Hope someone else can answer your question more definitively
