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)

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)
Active B12 Lozenge With L-5-MTHF , previously known as Sublingual Active B12 with Metafolin, combines high-potency amounts of the active forms of vitamin B12 and folate in a convenient sublingual tablet. Both of these water-soluble B-vitamins work together and need to be supplied in the diet in adequate amounts to support nervous system function and help maintain the normal metabolism of homocysteine, a potentially toxic amino acid metabolite that damages arteries.

This supplement has the perfect blend of B-vitamins, niacin, and methyl folate. These ingredients are the perfect support for my hypothyroidism, hypoadrenia, and compound heterozygous MTHFR mutation.

This is by far the best B Complex I ever bought. Previous brand that I bought was filled with magnesium stearate and less availability form. After I got this, I threw my old bottle into the dustbin as I do not want to harm my health due to unnecessary harmful filler. (Posted on 4/18/12)
B complex vitamins are required for optimal health, particularly for healthy nervous system function. B Complex Plus by Seeking Health is formulated with bioavailable, well-tolerated forms of B complex vitamins and cofactors inositol, PABA, and choline.

I am homozygous for MTHFR C677t. I have been taking Homocystex Plus for a little over 4 months. The first week or so I felt incredible! My energy levels were up and my mood improved beyond anything I could fathom. After the first week I returned to feeling fatigued and just so-so. This is my normal state, sadly, so I hadn't really considered changing supplements/adding supportive supplements until now. I am giving Homocystex Plus a 5 nonetheless for effectiveness because although I still feel tired, cranky and achy my anxiety levels are comparatively nonexistent compared to the way they were prior to taking it. I plan to try out Niacin and Neutralize to see if they can tame some of the unwanted side effects I am experiencing. I highly recommend Seeking Health Products. They have really changed my life.
NOTE FROM DR. BEN: You're on the right track! (Posted on 4/24/13)

I have the homozygous C677TT mutation and a cognitive disorder. I have used Homocystex for the last 60 days and I have had outstanding results. My mood, concentration, and mental awareness have improved dramatically, prompting my psychiatrist to reduce my medication. A month after my dose reduction, I still feel better than I've ever felt and I'm using less than half the medication I used to use. I also lost my nicotine addiction upon taking my first Homocystex dose. After 6 years of wearing a 21mg nicotine patch, I stopped using it cold turkey hours after I started using Homocystex. I felt slight withdrawal symptoms the day after for about 3 hours and then no symptoms since. Now I'm trying to get my fellow family members who share my condition to start using this supplement. I started with one capsule per day and worked up to 3 capsules daily over 1 month. (Posted on 4/12/13)
HomocysteX by Seeking Health supplies bioactive forms of four essential B-vitamins together without TMG (trimethylglycine) to synergistically support methylation processes and normal homocysteine metabolism. This formula is exceptional for those with defective MTHFR genes. Taking just 5-MTHF is not sufficient for those with MTHFR mutations which is why Dr Ben provides these other ingredients to help lower homocysteine and support the methylation cycle.

About a month ago, I was looking for answers as to why I was feeling so tired all the time. I found out I had Candida, which let me to an article Dr. Lynch had written regarding Candida interfering with proper methylation. Wow, what a difference. I am currently up to 2 capsules a day, 1 at breakfast and 1 before lunch, and they have been a huge help in my overall energy. Just ordered 2 more bottles and am getting my genes tested to see if I have any mutations. Thanks so much Dr. Lynch for formulating this great product! (Posted on 4/30/13)

I have the MTHFR gene and realize the importance of supplementing with the appropriate vitamins. Unfortunately, this supplement has caused me to suffer from severe acne and Rosacea. I've gone off and on the supplement and every time I go back on I break out. I researched and found it is not uncommon for B12 and B6 to cause acne. I would love to know why this is happening and what my options are?
NOTE FROM DR LYNCH:
B12, B6 and Folate are all phase 1 liver support nutrients. If your phase 2 liver support is deficient, symptoms of acne may occur. Consider supporting phase 2 liver support prior to restarting HomocysteX Plus. Phase 2 liver support is found in MSM, NAC, Taurine, Liver Nutrients, Arginine, Glutamine, Methionine, Glycine. Supporting antioxidants may also help - such as vitamin E, C, D, selenium, alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, zinc

I am compound heterozygous for MTHFR and though I have not had my children tested yet, I strongly suspected that at least one of them has the mutation. They both have Selective Mutism and one has S.P.D. and been...hard work! I started them both on this multi at the same time as I began the adults multi. One daughter doesn't seem any different to normal (she is easy anyway) but my eldest (6.5) is a completely different child. Her teacher noticed a difference in the first week. She is calmer, less anxious, has a lot more energy, doesn't have meltdowns any more, doesn't need an excessive amount of sleep any more. I love the fact that this is a multi with activated B vitamins-- keeps life simple. We worked very hard on nutrition, including taking fish oil and magnesium and probiotics, support at school, and our parenting, and this was the final piece of the puzzle to normalise her behaviour. She takes 2 at breakfast and 2 at lunch, her 4-year-old sister takes 2 +1. Thank you! (Posted on 4/28/13)

I am homozygous for the A1298C MTHFR mutation and was not tolerating the methylfolate my doctor recommended. I was so thankful to find Dr Ben Lynch and all his information which led me to Seeking Health. I started with a 1/4 of a capsule of your methylfolate, and am up to 1/2 capsule now, with little side effects. I have suffered from fatigue for over 12 years and can honestly say it is resolving with this. I cannot thank you enough! (Posted on 4/11/13)

I am MTHFR 677CT + MTHFR 1298AC. My naturopath is recommending 10g daily of L-5-MTHF, but I have found even 5g to cause unwanted side effects. What I like about Seeking Health's L-5-MTHF 1000 is the ease with which I can experiment with smaller and larger doses as I figure out what my body needs and can tolerate. The price is good, and I trust the quality. (Posted on 3/7/13)

I have been borderline dysfunctional for almost 4 years. My energy levels have been very low and I often end up in bed for days. I eat extremely healthy and have always exercised. Blood tests consistently showed normal levels of B12 and folate, but apparently my body wasn't methylating and utilizing them. This test showed positive. I started taking methylfolate and methyl B12 and eliminated the B complex that contains the non-methyl versions. After a couple of months I have my life back for the first time in years. I wish my doctor had known about this and we could have tested it for it years ago. (Posted on 8/24/12)

I ordered this test and the kit arrived quickly. I was turned away by my local LabCorp(Oregon) who would not accept this test kit, but they sent me to Quest Diagnostics down the street who not only accepted the kit, but only charged $23 for the draw fee. I received results via email from Dr. Lynch in only 5 business days. This is a great service offered by Dr. Lynch. I hope to schedule a consult on the results soon. (Posted on 7/23/12)

I am compound heterozygous for MTHFR, have Hashimotos thyroiditis and gluten intolerance. All these things combined to create the perfect storm in my body over the last 18 months where I struggled to function as a wife and mother to two young children. I have put in a lot of hard work and tried many different things to feel better to see only incremental improvements in my health. I eventually started on folinic acid building up slowly and felt so much better the very first day. Over time I researched more and realised that although the optimal multi is expensive, it gives me most things I need in one product, and even with the international postage costs, if I buy in bulk, it still works out cheaper than the combination of other supplements I was on.
On the first day I started taking these capsules I noticed an immediate boost to my energy and mood and this has accumulated over time to the point where I now feel the best I've ever felt. I take 3 + 3 or 3 + 2 +1 if I think I might have an afternoon slump (though these are rare now!).
We have just begun the 5:2 fasting program and because I thought I might feel queasy on the capsules on an empty stomach, I didn't take my lunch time dose two days in a row. By the the second night I had a severe night terror (these started with my thyroid issues but hadn't had one since beginning these vitamins) and tried to push my husband out of bed to 'protect' him from something that was coming down onto our bed!!!
I now realise that this is what my body has needed my whole life and I will never stop taking them.
My only concern with these vitamins are the vegetable extracts in them and whether these could have a goitrogenic effect in anyone with thyroid issues. I do wonder whether the chewables might be a safer option for me in this regard? I am about to place a bulk order for 6 months supply to save on postage so if Dr. Ben is reading this then I would really appreciate some feedback on this. I already take DIM so am aware that perhaps these are fermented and maybe actually good for me?
Congratulations on a great product. I have recommended to several friends who have similar health problems and my children are thriving on the kids' multivitamins also. (Posted on 4/28/13)

I am newly diagnosed with mthfr 677t/1298c. I have been on 1mg of methyl folate successfully for one to one and a half weeks (felt amazing!). Then, I attempted to add another mg and became overmethylated. I took a two week break from folate then switched to this multivitamin in order to be able to start again below 1mg. Since starting the multivitamin, I continue to be easily overmethylated (even taking just .2 mg) and now have been getting irregular heart beats (rapid, heavy thudding, palpitations). I am now seeing a cardiologist.
Dr Ben, I do not think it is the product’s quality. I am just hoping you may see this and find a moment to give me any ideas as to an explanation. The heart stuff does seem to correlate to the taking of the multivitamin. I am not sure if it could be due to folate and all folate does or if it has to do with something else in the multivitamin. Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
I am 34. I have chronic neck and back pain issues, peripheral neuropathy, trouble concentrating and handling stress and emotions, and have a homocysteine of 13.7.
NOTE FROM DR BEN:
If one is experiencing symptoms of overmethylation, it may be wise to stop all nutrients which support methylation for a bit, including a multivitamin such as this. Consider Niacin 50 mg a few times a day for a few days before resuming methylation support again.

My 13 year-old daughter seems to be doing very well with the O.M.V., and I am grateful it is such a comprehensive formula. I had a very bad reaction during my first 2 days of use despite the fact I started with a low dose. However, I am challenged by some gene mutations, an auto-immune disorder and hidden inflammation so I understand why I can't take this right now. (Posted on 3/22/13)

I was expecting a small chewable tablet and was disappointed because these tablets are too large for my preference other than that they are good. I wish they would make them smaller.
NOTE FROM DR LYNCH:
Thank you for your review! We will take this into consideration. We have them larger so one has to only take 1 to 2 tablets a day. If we make them smaller, then you or your child will have to chew more of them. We are always looking for improvements so your comment is noted! (Posted on 1/14/13)

I love the nutrients in this vitamin. My children are heterozygous for the C677 & 1298 A MTHFR mutations. My doctor instructed me to give them metafolin, methylcobalamin, increased B-6 & magnesium. This is the only chewable I have found that contains all of them AND is allergen free. My children do not tolerate gluten, dairy or eggs. It is hard to find a supplement with all of these. I only gave the product a 3 for Quality because my oldest daughter does not like the taste or texture of them. She has started hiding them everywhere instead of eating them. My son however absolutely LOVES them. He gets excited to take his vitamins in the morning after breakfast. Not sure about my youngest yet....she's only 1. Thanks Dr. Ben for this product. I wish you could make it in other flavors though. (Posted on 9/26/12)
These chewable multivitamin and mineral wafers are formulated to provide extra amounts of important antioxidants and B vitamins compared to most regular chewable vitamins. Two tablets daily provide three times the RDA levels of vitamin C and E antioxidants, and twice the RDA for most B-vitamins. Added minerals in easy-to-absorb forms enhance the formula. A base of all-natural sweeteners and flavors is used. This new, improved formula now contains Metafolin®** L-5-MTHF.

Optimal Multivitamin With Iron by Seeking Health is specially formulated to provide optimum micronutrient support after bariatric surgery. Nutritional deficits are common in pre- and post-surgical bariatric patients. Poor dietary habits and commonly used medications can lead to nutrient inadequacies and compromise successful postoperative outcomes. After weight loss surgery, patients have unique lifetime nutritional needs as a result of altering the gastrointestinal system. Restrictive procedures reduce stomach capacity resulting in a severely restricted diet, food intolerances, and rapid weight loss. Malabsorptive procedures reroute food, bypassing the stomach and a variable portion of the proximal small intestine, the primary site for nutrient absorption. In addition to nutrients for wound healing, patients need to be supplemented with vitamins and minerals they can no longer readily absorb in the amounts needed to stay healthy. Optimal Multivitamin With Iron by Seeking Health contains well-tolerated, highly bioavailable nutrient forms to maximize absorption and benefit.
