Overview

This capsule delivers 5000 mcg of methylcobalamin, a form of B12, in an unflavored veg capsule labeled hypoallergenic and vegetarian, 90 to a bottle. The allergen notes list it free of corn, dairy, egg, nuts, and soy, along with a non-GMO claim, which covers a wide range of common dietary concerns.

At about $17.45, it is competitively priced for a higher potency capsule from an established supplement brand. With a 4.7 star average from 1,300 reviews and roughly 1,000 units bought in the past month, it has a smaller review base than some of NOW's other B12 formats, like their chewable lozenges, but the rating itself is consistent with the brand's reputation.

The hypoallergenic labeling and 5000 mcg methylcobalamin form set it apart from lower potency, standard cyanocobalamin capsules, which may matter to anyone specifically comparing B12 forms.
