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...

I bought a multi vitamin last year from AOR called 'ortho core', everyone was raving about it on a vitamin forum, it was a good product but really expensive so I only took it for a month. I think the company produce good quality supplements.
You are right about london being expensive, supplements bought in the UK are way too expensive, jarrow's methyl b12 is about 4 times more expensive than iherb charge.
I went to my local chemist today and mentioned to the Pharmacist that I was taking 5mg of methyl b12 a day and she said that 5mg was a very large dose and that it is not a good idea to take large doses of any kind of vitamin as it can be quite bad for you. Now im stuck as to whether to carry on taking the b12 or not...
