Product Description
Why choose Active B12 Lozenge With L-5-MTHF with Metafolin by Seeking Health ?
Absorption of vitamin B12 is facilitated by intrinsic factor, a natural protein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach lining. B12 can also be absorbed by an alternate mechanism that does not rely on intrinsic factor when high-potency amounts of 1,000 mcg or more are taken. Sublingual Active B12 with Metafolin by Seeking Health provides 1,000 mcg of vitamin B12 so that individuals without adequate intrinsic factor can enhance their intake of this essential B vitamin through oral supplementation.
Key Benefits and actions of Active B12 Lozenge With L-5-MTHF :
Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin:
Vitamin B12 is crucial to the formation of healthy red blood cells, energy production, nervous system support, cognitive function, and homocysteine regulation. Although cyanocobalamin is the most commonly used form of vitamin B12 in dietary supplements, it must be converted by enzymes into an active coenzyme form to be useful. Nutritional inadequacies, enzyme defects, and tissue abnormalities can reduce the body’s ability to synthesize the active forms of B12. In contrast, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin is a “body-ready” form with metabolic benefits that may not be provided by other forms of vitamin B12. It appears that methylcobalamin may be particularly useful for individuals with impaired methylation capacity, including those with elevated homocysteine or neurological impairments.
Active form of folate :
This B-vitamin is crucial for generating red blood cells, regulating homocysteine metabolism, assisting DNA repair, and supporting neurological processes. Metafolin®* L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), an active form of folate, is included in this product to help ensure more immediate effects on metabolism compared to folic acid, the form of folate commonly used in fortified foods and supplements.
Active B12 Lozenge With L-5-MTHF sublingual tablets are sweetened naturally with mannitol and are free of added flavorings. The tablets dissolve in the mouth within a few minutes or may also be swallowed whole if desired. However, this supplement may be better absorbed when slowly dissolved under the tongue rather than swallowed whole. Individuals who have an increased risk for vitamin B12/folate deficiency are the elderly, vegetarians, and individuals with ulcers, Crohn’s disease, bacterial overgrowth, and other gastrointestinal disorders. This dietary supplement may be useful for individuals who may have difficulty absorbing vitamin B12 and folate and are looking for a safe and efficient method to enhance their supply of these bioactive forms of nutrients.
What makes Active B12 Lozenge With L-5-MTHF superior to other Active B12 supplements on the market?
Dietary B12 can be reliably obtained only from animal products and is a singularly difficult vitamin to absorb. Active B12 Lozenge With L-5-MTHF by Seeking Health are contained in fast-dissolving, sublingual tablets allowing quick release into the bloodstream. Folate deficiencies have been reported following bariatric surgery. This product may be especially beneficial for vegetarians and persons with impaired gastrointestinal absorptive function due to aging, illness, or surgery.

Questions on Active B12 Lozenge With L-5-MTHF - 60 Lozenges
- Should I stop my current MB12/Folinic supplement to try this one or can they be used together without problem?2/20/12 3:21 PM
- Dr. Ben -
I am currently on Methyl B12 (5 mg) and Folinic (0.8 mg) in a 0.3 ml subcutaneous injection as a treatment for a homozygous C677T gene mutation. I have recently become aware that Folinic isn't the most active form of B9 available. My understanding is that this product does include the most active form of B9. Is there a difference between Metafolin®* L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and Metafolin L-Methylfolate? I'm guessing there is.
I am considering purchasing this product to try it out; however, do I need to stop the injections before trying this or are the levels safe enough that I can just try this in addition to see if I feel a difference then worry about stopping the one I don't think is helping.
Thanks!
Emily - Hi Emily - If you are using Folinic Acid for a homozygous C677T MTHFR mutation, that is not doing you any good in terms of bypassing the problem. Folinic acid is a few steps above methylfolate and the MTHFR enzyme works one step above methylfolate. This means that folinic acid is not doing anything. I do recommend you talk with your doctor about stopping the injections. Since this may be the first time you are taking methylfolate, I recommend you take a 1/4 tablet first and see how you feel. Increase by 1/4 each day and see how you feel. If you feel symptoms of the following, then you are taking too much methylfolate: - irritable - depressed - muscle pain - sore joints If these occur, simply stop taking the methylfolate for a couple days and then reduce the amount you were taking back to the amount you were tolerating. With a homozygous C677T MTHFR mutation, I am thinking you will be able to tolerate 2 full tablets a day quite well - but again - work up to this amount. Since this is a sublingual supplement, the methylcobalamin (active B12) is very well-absorbed so you likely won't need to continue injectable B12 anymore - but...this is for you and your doctor to discuss. In health, Dr Ben

- sublingual B12 and L-5-MTHF4/10/12 12:33 PM
- Will this product help A1298? C677T? Should I also take optimal multi, B-comples, or homocystex? Are there other vitamin/minerals to complement these to metabolize well? Do the tablets dissolve and absorb well for older (age 61) person? Thank you very much.
- Hello - Sublingual Active B12 with Methyfolate will help those with A1298C and C677T MTHFR mutations. It also will help those who simply have macrocytic anemia. The tablets dissolve readily in anyone's mouth as long as there is some saliva present. Those with very dry mouths are suggested to take a sip of water, juice or tea and swallow. Then place the tablet in the mouth. Optimal Multivitamin is recommended alongside Sublingual Active B12 with Methylfolate because of all the complementary B vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Consider taking 2 to 3 capsules of Optimal Multivitamin with breakfast and with lunch. Start with these two first and see how you do. If you feel you need more support for your MTHFR mutation, then switching from Sublingual Active B12 with Methylfolate to HomocysteX is recommended. If further support is needed beyond that, then switch to HomocysteX Plus. It is also recommended to consider: a) Optimal Fish Oil: 2 capsules daily with a meal b) ProBiota 12: 1 capsule after dinner c) Vitamin D360: 2 drops daily anytime of day with or without food Lots of information is available at www.MTHFR.net In health, Dr Ben

- My daughter is 7 weeks pregnant with her first child. She has the MTHFR gene..she is heterozygous with the C677T and 1298A genes. She is on Heperin shots but she is not at this time on any supplements. Before she got pregnant she was taking 8oomcg of B12 and 400mcg of folate. She also took a B6 supplement. I purchased these from Pure Encapsulations. They were prescribed by a hematologist and I purchased the exact amounts she told my daughter to take.She is seeing a high risk perinatologist, but I am concerned that she isn't taking any supplements...he may put her on them later but what about now??

- forms of B124/16/12 2:28 AM
- Hi Dr. Ben,
I have a few 'beginners' questions. I'm just beginning to address my MTHFR (compound hetero C677T/A1298C) and started with the following:
A. Doctor's Best (6S)-5-MethylTetraHydroFolate(MTHF)400mcg, as 800mcg MethylTetraHydroFolic acid, glucosamine salt featuring Quatrefolic ... 1 capsule, 30 minutes before breakfast.
B. Pure Encapsulations B12 liquid 1000mcg methylcobalamin with stevia ... 1 dose daily with meals.
C. Ordered your Optimal Vitamin and plan to begin taking it when it arrives.
QUESTION #1: ARE THESE OK? Any comments or suggestions?
QUESTION #2: Can I make the METHYLade substituting Concentrace by Trace Minerals Research in place of the Elyte Electrolytes? (I already have a bottle of it).
QUESTION #3: Re METHYLade - how long after breakfast should I wait to begin drinking it - so that the vitamin C in it doesn't destroy the folate?
Don't know what I'd do without your site and your input, as I don't have a doctor who knows how to treat MTHFR. There is so much on the site to learn and digest, and I want to get started with what I'm thinking is the best approach. Any suggestions you have would be very much appreciated. Finances are a problem, so I'm considering what to choose for the most benefit and least cost.
Thank You! Your guidance is so appreciated.
- Hello - Your choices look pretty good. Just keep in mind you don't over do it. Watch for signs/symptoms of methylfolate excess. I am not sure about the Concentrace effect. It is not really an electrolyte drink - it is more a complete mineral drink - and it is also foul tasting ;) You can definitely try it. I'd wait 20 minutes to start drinking the MTHFRade post methylfolate and methylcobalamin. If you have methylfolate and methylcobalamin as sublingual forms, then the likelihood of damage to either of them is minimized. Consolidate your methylfolate and methylcobalamin by taking Sublingual Active B12 with Methylfolate: http://www.seekinghealth.com/sublingual-active-b12-metafolin-seeking-health.html It is also less expensive doing it this way - and easier. Glad to help! Best Dr Ben

- Hi Dr. Ben,
- Re forms of B124/18/12 6:00 AM
- Dr. B,
Thank you for responding. But:
* what are the "signs/symptoms of methylfolate excess" you said I should look for?
* Also is the brand I've been taking 400mcg or 800mcg " (6S)-5-MethylTetraHydroFolate(MTHF)400mcg, as 800mcg MethylTetraHydroFolic acid, glucosamine salt featuring Quatrefolic"?
Going to order the Sublingual Active B12 with Methytfolate you mentioned; it will make it easier/more effective on several counts.
Blessings,
Diane - Diane - I am not sure what you've been taking in terms of dosage for the Quatrefolic. The label does appear oddly written. Perhaps 2 capsules makes 800 mcg of methylfolate? Methylfolate excess can look like this: http://mthfr.net/methylfolate-side-effects/2012/03/01/ In health, Dr Ben

- Ingredient concern4/23/12 4:36 PM
- Dr. Ben,
I am homo for C677T mutation. I am also quite sure that I have pyroluria. I am just starting to treat myself since I can"t find a doctor that is knowledgeable on mthfr. I have a concern about the mannitol in the sublingual B12 since I have never done well on any of the -itols. Especially zylitol in even the smallest amounts-my stomach blows up. Should I stay away from the sublingual and go with the homocysteX or since my gut issues are probably due to a b12 deficiency maybe I wouldn't be so sensitive as I increase my b12? Also, will the Optimal multivitamin have enough B6 and zinc to treat pyroluria or do I need to add them individually to my protocol ? I also have MS (or so they say). Thank you Dr. Ben! Hello -
You may do best on the HomocysteX to start. Simply take 1/2 to 1 capsule on an empty stomach for a week to see how you feel. Increase by 1/2 to 1 capsule every week until you feel quite good. Once you feel 'off' or not right, go back to the amount where you did feel good.
I highly recommend you obtain a bottle of extended release Niacin and Neutralize to help combat potential side effects from HomocysteX or any supplement containing methyl groups.
Optimal Multivitamin does not have enough zinc or B6 to help with pyroluria. I definitely recommend testing for pyroluria before you begin taking supplements for it - especially high dose zinc and B6 as both these nutrients are not safe in high amounts long term.
The B6 found in Magnesium Plus is in the form of P-5-P which is the most active form and also in quite a potent amount.
Since your stomach is also sensitive, I recommend you consider taking ProBiota Sensitive - 1 capsule after dinner - along with 1 capsule of Saccharomyces Boulardii. These are very pure and effective strains of probiotics which may help balance your digestive fllora.
Should you need further one-on-one help, I am available via phone consults and happy to work with you towards achieving your health goals.
In health,
Dr Ben

- dosage for children6/16/12 11:22 AM
- I've just been diagnosed as compund heterozygous MTHFR 677 and 1298. I've recently started on your multi vitamin, b12/metafolin, and add'l support like active b6 and molybdenum. I've also just tested positive for pyroluria--it was recommended I take 50 mg zinc plus 5 mg copper because it's low too--not sure if this is enough zinc. My children have not yet been tested but I suspect these problems in them as well. My children are almost 6 yrs and 42 lbs and almost 3 yrs and 32 lbs--what would the correct doses of b12/folate, b6, and zinc be? I'm planning to start them on your chewable multi as well. Thanks.
- Hello - With pyroluria, it is good to taper up in the recommended deficient nutrients - such as zinc, manganese, b6. There is no set appropriate dosage for pyroluria for children or adults - it is individualized and must be attended to in order to not over supplement with zinc or b6 or copper. B12 and folate levels are also individualized and should be tapered up from a small amount to the amount that works best for you and your children. I have heard that those with pyroluria can take upwards of 50 mg of zinc twice daily - however, again - this is not a suggested dose for you or your children because everyone is different. Why? - Dietary intake - Possible absorption issues - Possible digestive issues - Possible other genetic disorders - Lifestyle - Chemical exposures - Possible other nutrient excesses or deficiencies Supporting the basic health needs is critical - - digestive health - probiotics daily - consider ProBiota 12 after dinner - filtered water - multivitamin - additional sublingual methylfolate and methylcobalamin if needed due to MTHFR defects or anemia - EPA/DHA - vitamin D3 - healthy diet - healthy lifestyle - gluten free - dairy free (goat milk may be used for some) I know this isn't the exact answer you were looking for but it is the most accurate that may be given without a patient-doctor relationship - which is not possible online. I may be able to provide you more information or additional recommendations should you need to do so. I provide consultations to those who need them and maintain relationships with my clients as they need me. To schedule a consult, please call 800-547-9812 Supplementation is useful - but it can definitely be over done. Please start with the foundational health aspects first - In health, Dr Lynch

- Is this better than taking Deplin?6/20/12 9:40 PM
- I have been put on Deplin but do not feel any better after 3 months. Is this a better product for c677t mutation? I am also extremely difficient in vit d, iron, B12 and magnesium. I am on supplements of magnesium and take shots of B12 now and because of my migraines, I also get infused with magnesium along with very potent steroids. I am concerned that my body is rejecting all the nutrients because I cannot metabolize them. This has been a life long issue and am finally finding answers thanks to Dent Neurological center and your website!! However, this is still so very confusing and I would like to feel better as soon as possible. I am 45 years old and have most if not all of the symptoms for each of these problems and am getting more worried by the minute.....any information or help you can give would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.....
God bless you....
Hello K -
Deplin is a great medication for those needing high amounts of methylfolate to bypass folate receptor antibodies and in some folate mutations.
It depends on the person if Deplin is suitable or not. I do not have enough information to say one way or the other if less methylfolate will help or hinder you.
Deplin is very strong and it only addresses the methylfolate. If you are low in B12, then the Deplin won't be doing much good.
I always say and recommend people that you must start with the basics and work out from there - this means lifestyle and dietary changes first.
Given the complexity and numerous deficiencies, I highly recommend we put our heads together over a consult. The first consult I recommend one hour and follow ups are typically 30 minutes.
You may RSVP your consult here or you may call us at 800-547-9812
I don't want to frustrate you or provide incorrect information - which is why I recommend a consult. If you continue guessing what is needed and proceeding without a plan, your frustration will grow and so will your worry.
I do look forward to getting to the bottom of some of your symptoms and working with you.
In health,
Dr Lynch

- Appropriate In Pregnancy? 6/21/12 10:53 AM
- Hi,
I was wondering if this supplement can be taken while pregnant, or is the B12 dose too high? My Dr prescribed me 100 mcg of B12, while this contains 1000.
Would it be safe for me to take?
Thanks. Hello -
Without laboratory testing, physical exams and history, I cannot make a judgement call if Sublingual Active B12 with Metafolin is safe for you during pregnancy.
The typical recommendation for pregnant women regarding methylfolate is 800 mcg.
There is no typical recommendation really for methylcobalamin - some women need more and some less. Your doctor has to make that recommendation.
These tablets are easily broken into smaller pieces should your doctor want you to take less.

Quickly dissolves and is easy on the stomach. I'm homozygous C677T and have seen immediate results using this supplement! (Posted on 4/30/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality - Review by Jackie
-
Just want to add, that I am homozygous with the A1298C mutation, and was recommended this by my doctor, and also after reading all about it on Dr. Ben Lynch's website here. This product is definitely helping me! I not only feel more peaceful, I look better - skin looks alive again, and some of my severe symptoms have diminished. However, I do need to continue with taking this supplement, as I feel that I am very deficient in the methylfolate, unable to produce the folic acid needed by my body, due to the mutation. So I recommend everyone who may have this same homozygous mutation to try this product. It is mild, and tastes pleasant - just melts on your tongue. It may take awhile to begin to see some results. I am still plugging away at that myself! (Posted on 4/26/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality - Review by Jackie

The B12 Lozenges I do believe have helped me, especially this week. I did have an adverse reaction last week to the drops. Probably, this was due to the detox effect that the L-Methylfolate has. Some people react badly at first to it, going through detoxification, so I guess that happened to me. However, I have noticed this week some much more positive improvements. I had one full day without any type of stomach problems and my intestines and head were much improved. I felt much more peaceful and got a very good night's sleep for once, two nights ago, and I believe this might be the result of the B12 Lozenges and the drops combined. I have not tried to take them both though, at the same time. I think that perhaps I got beyond the initial detox reaction that was so severe, that I had last week. I am still taking it slowly though, and not trying to take too much as that is the advice that was given. (Posted on 4/26/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality - Review by Claire

I've been supplementing B12 for a couple of years now, and taking Metagenics brand that one of my doctors recommended. I know it's high quality but after a year or so, I had Spectracell Testing done and I was still low despite the supplements! Got tested for the intrinsic factor and I've got that so I did B12 injections and everyone I talked to said, 'wow, those must make you feel so good!' but I never felt any different. Then my husband was diagnosed with the MTHFR mutation A1298C and our family doc recommended Seeking Health's B12 lozenges and HomocysteX Plus. Hubby found the HomocysteX was good for him, so I tried the lozenges instead of my usual supplement and WOW. Suddenly I had more energy the way B vitamins are said to make you feel! More clear-headed, feeling so much better! Don't know if I have the mutation but all I know is this supplement works for me and it's obvious my body can absorb it. I am thrilled.

I have been taking B12 and methylfolate for over a year but never sure if they made any difference. Recently I ran out of B12 and took a long time to reorder. I have been feeling especially fatigued and not sleeping well lately. Finally I ordered this B12 for the first time. The moment I put it in my mouth I felt some energy return. So I saw that it is effective. I like the high potency dosage which is hard to find. It does have more ingredients than I would l prefer but so far I am tolerating them. I have two in my mouth right now!Effectiveness Purity Quality

I have MTHFR (677t & 677t) so I ordered this B12 w/Methylfolate to start with. I have been feeling some improvement in my symptoms (pain, depression, fatigue) since starting this product. I started by taking 1/4 a day for 3 days, then 1/2 a day for 3 days, then 3/4 a day for 3 days & now I have reached a full tablet as of yesterday morning. I take these in the morning upon waking & put it under my tongue (sublingual). I didn't have any undesired effects like i have in the past when i took another brand of just B12.

I have both mutations & my naturopath wants me to take 10g MTHF daily, as well as a B12 sublingual supplement. 10g - and even 5g - seems to cause unwanted symptoms, but when I use the Active B12 Lozenge with L-5-MTHF, I feel good.

I have MTHFR and have been using this product primarily for the active folate content since my doctor says I need lots of folic acid right now. The pill does not have to be swallowed whole which is a huge plus for me. It also has a decent flavor.

Taking this product gives me very bad heartburn for about an hour. Also, the product which is touted as being 'pure' contains magnesium stearate - not cool.Effectiveness Purity Quality
NOTE FROM DR LYNCH:
I doubt that this product was the cause of heartburn. This is most likely coincidence. Magnesium stearate in lozenges is used to bind the nutrients together. It is very difficult to make a lozenge without magnesium stearate. We are removing the magnesium stearate from this product and all our products in the coming months. It should be noted that magnesium stearate does not affect the purity of the product or any product. (Posted on 3/1/13) - Review by Angela

The only side effect that I've noticed since taking it is that phlegm builds up in the back of my throat. But the only thing I wish I was getting from this product was the boost in energy.

After learning that my anxiety was caused by my homozygous 677 MTHFR genetics, I have taken this tablet for over a year now. I do not feel anything special, but my year has been absent of the anxiety that used to be part of my life. I had to face 3 of the hardest months in my life and I stayed calm and happy. I take one a day. But I can take 4 a day and have no side effects.Effectiveness Purity Quality
Some people find further benefit by taking more things to help them methylate. During this year I also tried other products to boost the methylation process. But I found that if I took significantly more than this, that my brain felt like it was being fried in a microwave.
This gentle tablet is just right for me. All the people I have told about it are also happy.
I have a theory, which I cannot prove; that my body does not like to handle lesser forms of folate, nor formulas that are only "partially available". I suspect that they agitate me. With Dr.Ben's formula I am only putting folate into my body which is 100% the pure body ready form. I have a high level of confidence that this product is just right for me. I feel like I was born for it to be my companion.

I started with 1/4 pill and titrated up to 3/4 & then backed off. Noticed a difference immediately in clarity and energy. I now take a half dose of the multi-vitamin which has a lower dose of methylfolate and will titrate up by adding a 1/4 lozenge. Everyone is different and this allows you to modify to your exact needs. Sent it to my sister! (Posted on 1/16/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality - Review by Joy

I am very happy with this lozenge. It taste great, dissolves quickly and I notice more energy. If I miss a morning I can tell. Have given up coffee and feel good knowing I am getting the right form of folate and b12 for me without all the junk they put in other vitamins. (Posted on 1/13/13)Effectiveness Purity Quality
