Hi, I don't know if you've looked at my site at all, but apparently in Japan the low for B12 is 550, where as here in the states it is often as low as 180.

I've never heard of AOR, do you know where they are located. Certainly a higher dose per lozenge would be good.



I just Googled it, and boy it's expensive. I'm not sure why AOR thinks its prices are reasonable.

Still haven't found where the company is located, though.

I see, I found it in Canada and Great Britain.

I don't know... when I was going to get Methylcobalamin made up so I could give it away to people under stress, like after Katrina, I found that the basic methylcobalamin is really cheap. (I wasn't able to do that because of the problem with my condo, now in Appeal.)

And as far as I know it's all basically manufactured in the same places; what varies in vitamin lozenges is the purity or quality control on the amount included.

I know that when I lived in London many things were very much more costly than here in the U.S.

If I had a choice, I think I'd buy the less costly product since I think both Jarrow and Source Naturals have certificates relating to the purity...
