Im not sure if the B12 Jarrow and Enzymatic Therapy are "methylate " . I will have to look that up not sure what kind that is.
The Jarrow may be, but check the label. You want methycobalamin -- not cyanocobalamin (as in the W-mart).

You also (regardless of what the label may say) should take B12 on an empty stomach, 1-2 hrs before any food for best absorption. The reason is that the B12 molecule is enormous, and has a hard enough time being absorbed without other things interfering.
