The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview

['This NOW Supplements product delivers 5,000 mcg of vitamin B-12 along with folic acid in a lozenge format, sold in a 60-count package. It is marketed around nervous system health, and it carries vegan and vegetarian label claims, which is worth noting for buyers avoiding animal-derived ingredients.', 'At 5,000 mcg per lozenge, this sits at the higher end of B12 potency compared to the more common 500 to 1,000 mcg products in the same lineup. The 60-count size is on the smaller side, giving roughly two months of daily use, so buyers who like this formula may want to plan for a reorder sooner than they would with a 250-count bottle.', 'Feedback on this listing includes about 2,200 reviews averaging 4.7 stars, a consistent and positive pattern. That level of rating across a solid review count suggests the product reliably delivers what it states on the label for the people who have tried it.']

Performance notes

The 5,000 mcg dose is a notable detail here, placing this product among the higher-potency lozenges in the vitamin B12 lineup rather than a standard-strength option. Combined with folic acid and a vegan, vegetarian label, it is positioned for buyers who have already decided they want a higher-dose lozenge rather than a capsule or tablet.

What buyers say

Around 2,200 reviews average 4.7 stars for this product, a solid and consistent rating that suggests the higher 5,000 mcg dose and lozenge format are working well for the people who buy it.
