Expiration Date:

Dec 2018
Expiration DateThe length of time for the expiration date or “best used before” date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Vitamin B-12 is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the maintenance of a healthy nervous system and for the metabolic utilization of fats and proteins. Vitamin B-12 is also essential for the synthesis of DNA during cell division and therefore is especially important for rapidly multiplying cells, such as blood cells. In addition, adequate intake of Vitamin B-12, along with Folic Acid and Vitamin B-6, encourages healthy serum homocysteine levels, thereby supporting cardiovascular health. Because Vitamin B-12 is found predominantly in animal products, strict vegetarians are at risk of developing Vitamin B-12 deficiency and may benefit from supplementation. NOW Vitamin B-12 is vegetarian/vegan (non-animal derived).

Customer reviews about the product:
However, while it starts out as individual pills in the beginning, in a humid climate, even with those humidity pack thingies in the bottle, the pills absorb moisture from the environment. After about 40 pills, the rest have clumped together and gradually melted together like a pudding. The only way to remove them from the bottle is with a knife or some other similar narrow object. It’s just a mess, and because it’s clumped so badly, I’m taking in the equivalent of two or three pills a day instead of only the one I need – there’s just no way to separate things without creating a huge mess. And what a waste of money!
Please note, on my second bottle (I had ordered two), I had added extra moisture packets – didn’t help at all.
I’ve used another brand of the methyl B12 that doesn’t have any clumping/moisture issues, so I’ll stick to that instead. If you live in a dry climate, this probably isn’t a problem, but for those of us in a humid climate – ugh.
B-12 is essential for microvilli growth in the Gut wall. Microvilli are essential for B-12 absorption. Therefore many gut problems cause a vicious circle of microvilli damage, reduced B-12 absorption leading to reduced microvilli health leading to …. That’s why Medical Practitioners use a B-12 injection to kick start repair. B-12 can’t be easily absorbed with gut problems.
This offers a megadose of B-12 that over time can reverse damage if started soon enough. However, megadoses of the normal form (Cyanocobalamine) cause high morbidity and mortality in patients with liver or kidney issues. The Methyl form here is much safer.
It is important to treat early before microvilli damage becomes too widespread and more serious conditions develop.
I take them every 5 days. That’s more then enough.
higher than mnormal dosage.
I won’t buy this one again, I’ll try something that stays dry.
